He raise Natas to be tough and ready to make hard decisions, doing what needed to be done. He also taught him to box, non of that “China fighting”. Natas mom had moved out and he was mainly cared by his maid and tutors. One day Natas came home from school and police were talking to his mother Alice. His dad had fallen from a beam on a skyscraper he was building, but no one knew why he was there. The last person to see him alive was his secretary whom he was having an all, but open affair with. The assumption was that someone had him killed, but no one was seen with him. The death was ruled a suicide.

Natas' grandfather Nick Talbane stepped in as the father figure in his life. He was different than his dad. Not as tough and he didn’t push education as much as his dad did. Instead he was into something he called, “The old ways” as taught by his father.
