Chimeran scum, I'd like you to meet one badass Army Ranger. Badass Army Ranger, Chimeran scum.

Nathan Hale was a legendary sergeant in the United States Army, who was largely responsible for the liberation of Britain in July, 1951.

Born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in November 1922, Nathan Hale's parents both succumbed to the lingering complications of the influenzia epidemic of 1918 shortly after his birth. With no nearby relatives, Hale was declared a ward of the state. After a series of odd jobs, Hale enlisted in the United States Army, where he was elected to the Inaugural Ranger Orientation Program.

Hale was a capable soldier, but during a live-fire exercise, he led an unconventional gambit against a mock target that led to the deaths of most of his squad and several observers, and he himself was grievously injured. The incident was attributed to faulty munitions. Hale was rehabilitated at the Army's Higgins Trauma Center in Montana. After exhaustive therapy and many operations, Hale returned to active duty. His commanding officers consistantly rewarded Hale with higher-risk missions due to his natural skill in battle, but psychologists expressed concern that he had a death wish.

On July 11th, 1951, Hale was deployed along with the rest of the First Ranger Regiment to York as part of Operation: Deliverance. When his squad was attacked by Chimeran Crawlers, Hale was infected with the Chimeran virus. However, for reasons unknown, Hale awoke even after being infected. He now possessed gold-coloured eyes, but aside from that, seemed healthy.

Not long after being infected, he was re-captured by the Chimera during a Spire attack, and taken to a Chimeran Conversion Centre in Grimsby. With the help of Cpt. Rachel Parker, he managed to escape, and proceeded to fight battles across England. In Cheddar Gorge, Hale, along with Lt. Steven Cartwright, made the discovery that the Chimeran towers had been excavated.

Hale later followed a Chimeran tunnel from Bracknell all the way to London, where he single-handedly shut down the main Chimeran tower. He was presumed killed in the explosion that destroyed the tower, but was later seen in a snowy landscape, where he was picked up by some mysterious American soldiers.

Hale reprises his role as the antagonist in Resistance 2: United We Fall.
