Nate Mantel grew up in the hub of Detroit, Michigan, with an overbearing Dominant father who expected nothing but perfection from his children, and he would stop at nothing to get it - nothing. Nate spent many nights icing black eyes and bandaging up cuts when he didn't make the grades his father expected. His mother was the picture-perfect submissive house wife who was always better seen and not heard. So other than siblings, Nate was on his own.
Enter - Blair. His high school sweetheart. The only person who took time to understand him, to hold him when his world was crashing down, who supported his swimming dreams like no one else did. They spent nearly every moment of High School together, and eventually in their Junior year, Blair discovered they were pregnant. Though he should have been terrified, Nate was over the moon. The love he had in him was enough to look past everything he'd grown up with and he was so excited. But all that brought on a new nightmare when Blair was eight months pregnant and things went severely wrong. A night of unknown, pain, and bleeding, ended in a late term miscarriage that brought the strong man to his knees.
Things changed after that. Nate and Blair weren't as close as they once were, Nate trying to deal with the pain on his own, shielding his love from it, only resulting in pushing her away, and in to the arms of his best friend. Nate had been medicating in his own way, first with drinking, then discovering pot, amphetimines, and eventually coke as a way to keep going and numb the pain. Finding his love lying in bed with his best friend was the icing on the cake, and at that point Nate snapped and spiraled faster than he was prepared for.
The summer before and all of his Senior year ended up in a whirl wind of parties, one night stands, and drug induced amnesia he couldn't pull away from. But one night, he got real stupid, and got behind the wheel of a car, resulting in nearly killing another child who was riding their bike on the side of the road Nate was traveling down. He knew enough was enough, and he went to rehab, got clean and went on to the institute in Lima, which brought on a whole new set of issues.
Last time at the institute, he found a claim, and even a second as well as a newfound look on love. He was doubled claimed, engaged, and 4 years sober. And one night at a party, someone thought it would be fun to spike the punch bowl, ending Nate's sobriety. It was harder to stay clean after that - the single drink here and there, a hit of pot or a line of coke no one knew about. His second claim dissolved and when the school went under new administration, he was told his first claim wasn't viable and attempted to dissolve it. At that point, Nate and his claim left the school to avoid dissolution.
But things didn't get better. Nate's addiction took hold of him once again, and he was back to using and his claim finally had enough and handed Nate an ultimatum - get clean or lose him. Try as he might, Nate was done. His olympic dreams were gone, his engagement was broken, and his claim found someone else to keep him safer than Nate could anymore. So, Nate continued on his spiral, fielding the random calls from his father telling him he was useless and going no where. But, as his 25th birthday is just days away, it was time to return and try to salvage something of his tragic life.
What are your feelings about the mark you have received?
-It makes sense, honestly. And I've already started the classes and training and stuff. Plus, I has a dual claim for over a year. So, the mark is good, let's move on.
How do your feelings on the system compare to your parents’ feelings on it?
- I don't agree as much as my dad does, but I have similar feelings on it over all. I see the point of the system, and I think it's worth following it.
Where do you see yourself after you graduate?
- Honestly, I'm hear to try to figure all that out. Things have changed since the last time I had this interview. At this point, I'm just hoping to be alive.
How do you feel about authority?
- Authority has it's purpose. Mostly, I'll be polite and courteous towards authority. I also think I have authority and I like people to know that.
