Nathan Hamiel

<strong>"Nathan Hamiel"</strong> (not his real name) dropped out of High School to work as a deckhand on an oil tanker in the Sargasso Sea. On its maiden voyage, the tanker "The Lady Nikita" was caught in a freak So'Wester that swamped its engines and damaged the electrical systems. Hopelessly lost and without radio or navigation, the crew ran aground somewhere near the coast of French Guyana.<br /><br />

Relying on natural language and negotiation skills, "Nathan" bartered several of his crew members into slavery for safe passage overland to Caracas. Once, there he found work as a night janitor in the Miraflores palace during the Perez regime. When the junta came, he was forced to flee by night as a suspected American spy. To this day people are still unsure just how deep his ties are with the CIA.<br /><br />

From there, "Nathan" fled overland through Panama, where he secured passage to Florida on a forged diplomatic passport. He still resides there today, posing as a Senior Consultant of impeccable credentials with Idea Information Security and an Associate Professor for University of Advancing Technology.
