Nathan Prescott

Nathan Joshua Prescott from "Life is Strange" born August 29, 1995, he's 18 years old, is a student at Blackwell Academy and is the secondary antagonist throughout Life is Strange. He is associated with selling drugs at Blackwell, and it is consistently implied that he is mentally ill and is in therapy. Nathan dresses in preppy yet modern fashion: plaid-patterned shirts layered over casual t-shirts paired with dark jeans finished off by luxury brand boots, evident signs of wealth. His defiantly prominent lower chin along with athletic physique betray an underlying aggression adding an element of unpredictability to him - which in ways acts as deterrent enough for anyone who dares cross path with him Nathan, a wealthy brat, acts out recklessly and uses his family's clout to escape consequences. He shows no empathy for those he perceives as threats to his power. Max Caulfield considers him the male counterpart of Victoria Chase, but with more money and worse attitude. Despite his outward aggression, Nathan is mentally unstable underneath it all. Years under psychiatric care and various medications hint at this instability. The medications including Risperidone point towards possible schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, while anxiety and paranoia are suggested too. Nathan seems disconnected from reality according to one psychiatrist's letter found in the game. His behaviour throughout the game hints at deep-seated trauma caused by adult bullying; probably due to high expectations from his father which forces him to act out exaggeratedly. A cover-up or diversion strategy perhaps explain his excessive partying, drug use, egocentricity, and lack of empathy - tools to mask or vent emotional pain. Beyond these troubling signs lies an affinity for dark-expressive art backdropped by eerie photography featuring dead animals and graveyards that add mystery around Nathan’s character. This fascination is confirmed further when Max finds pictures of deceased birds in his dormitory room along with a picture depicting Pompidou’s death. To crown it all off, Nathan's submission for the Everyday Heroes Contest showcased a graveyard janitor hard at work - yet another nod towards death-obsession imprinted deeply within him. The Prescott family, the oldest and wealthiest in Arcadia Bay, exerts significant influence over Blackwell Academy, having financed a dormitory there. Nathan's father Sean Prescott sways Principal Wells which impacts the lenience Nathan receives at school. The wealthy family also control local law enforcement and are real estate moguls with their upcoming "Pan Estates" development. Although dominating in Arcadia Bay, it’s hinted that despite being based here now, they originally hail from Florida; suggested through references highlighting Nathan's birthplace - Fort Lauderdale coupled with derogatory comments about Arcadia Bay made by both Nathan his father. Nathan is presumably the youngest member of the Prescott Clan who has repeated violent episodes – implications point towards substantial parental pressure especially from his father to uphold the family reputation causing these outbursts. School records label him as "Nathan Prescott III", reflecting an ingrained attitude of superiority within the Prescott line. Having been under psychiatric care for half a decade due to his unstable mental health condition is confirmed by a letter found in Episode 4. Correspondences retrieved show how indifferent Nathan's Father appears toward his son's behavioral issues despite increased severeness at school where he threatens to withdraw financial supports offered by their family if not handled properly. At Blackwell Academy itself, apart from maintaining key positions within Vortex Club circles, students recognize him as a dealer for recreational drugs purchased online post-adding powerful laxatives sourced from shady local supplier known as Frank Bowers-a known party-lover and liquor aficionado himself who frequently sponsors parties using personal touches like eminent DJs courtesy of ample familial resources often bypassing administrative monitoring which he proudly gloats about during The End of the World Party.
