Personality: Nathan is a able-minded boy, and has the characteristics of a Reluctant Hero. He's somewhat afraid to have come into camp, but with his inquisitive mind, he understands that he has to be here, inorder to keep his family set.

History:  Nathan Roark was born to his mother, a very happy, yet worn woman who loved her son very much. The two lived in a quiet little town just north of Manhattan. As Nathan grew older, his mother grew close to a teacher at Nathan's high school, by the name of Stanley Jones. The teacher and Laura Roark began to see each other, and by Nathan's 17th birthday, the two were engaged to be married.

Stanley, unlike many step-parents in the many forms of media that Nathan used, took a liking to young Nathan, even though Nathan was smart enough to realize that Stanley was not his father. Nathan and Stanley tried to overcome Nathan's reading disability, but it was in vain, as Nathan was still unable to read, due to the dyslexia.

The day of the marriage, Nathan was walking around town, as he usually did, when a harpy managed to wander into his hometown. It rampaged through the town before seeing Nathan. Blind as to why it chose Nathan, the beast charged at Nathan, prompting him to run.

The Harpy managed to tail Nathan no matter how far he ran. He managed to get it outside of the town, and soon, it spotted other demigods and chased them, leaving Nathan little time to make it back before the wedding.

However, at the party afterwards, the joyful times were interrupted by the Harpy again, this time with the Demigods on it's tail. Nathan used his previous tangle with the beast plus one of the demigod's weapons to take it out. The demigods were celebrated and invited to stay for food. Afterwards the demigod revealed that they were on a quest to slay the harpy and, claiming that Nathan was one of their own, asked him to join them at Camp, where they would see if he was a demi-god or not.

Nathan turned to his mother and step-father, and asked if he could. Stanley smiled, and said, "If you think that you could be one of these fellows, go right ahead. I'll support anything you do, kid."

With that, Nathan went to pack some clothes and was on his way to Camp.
