Nathan was a tail section survivor of Oceanic Flight 815. He was suspected by Ana Lucia of being one of the Others, due to his secretive behavior (which was probably simply due to his personality), and was killed when his neck was broken by the Other named Goodwin.
Before the crash
Nathan claimed he was in the tail section of the airplane at the time of the crash. Little is known about his life before boarding the plane, except that he stated he was on a company retreat in Australia and stayed behind to 'sightsee', and claimed to be from Canada, like Ethan. ("The Other 48 Days")
On the Island
Nathan was not seen after the crash until nightfall (Day 1) after Eko was attacked by the Others. Nathan was one of the tail section survivors who, along with Cindy, wanted to stay on the beach, for he believed it was safer than venturing into the jungle.
Ana Lucia began to grow suspicious of Nathan and came to believe that he might have been on the Island before the crash, because of (among other things) his lengthy trips into the jungle, supposedly to take a bathroom break. He also seemed rebellious to Ana Lucia, the self-declared leader of the tailies. None of the other tailies argued with Ana Lucia, probably because they were also suspicious of Nathan. Ana Lucia's suspicion that Nathan was "one of them" led her to throw him into the pit.
After Ana Lucia promised to begin cutting Nathan's fingers off the next day, Goodwin freed Nathan and then killed him by breaking his neck. He hid the body in the jungle. Goodwin later defended his actions by claiming Nathan was "not a good person". He also suggested that, if she tortured Nathan and he still didn't confess, Ana Lucia might finally start to believe he was telling the truth, and look for other suspects, putting Goodwin at risk of being discovered.
