Nate - Season 1 and Season 2
I've conducted what I'd love to see in the future. I've made this to mainly explain Nate, his motives, background, etc.
Here we go.
Episode 1
Nate wakes up in the middle of the night, whilst Lee has already met with Lilly and the others in the drug store. Nate knows about the walkers at this point and so does his wife 'Jolene' and their child Danielle.
Nate lives in the countryside, typically a farmer. He met Jolene during college where she practised archery. She however went on and on how she favoured a crossbow rather than a regular one. Nate at this point has decided to stay in his home, however whilst Lee and Carley are looking for Glenn - Nates home is attacked. He manages to defend the home from the few walkers trying to get in, however this sets the seed of distrust in the relationship with him and his wife and child.
What further emphasis this is that Nate takes his friend in care, even though Jolene and Danielle object it.
The Three Months
During the three months, Jolene has heard that they should head over to the 'Save-Lot's' the house has consistently been attacked by walkers and showing wear and tear. Nate begins to argue with Jolene about this however walkers begin attacking. It's more than usual.
Whilst this obviously wakes up Danielle who comes to see the house be defended. She has her toy at this point which gets blood splattered on it by the walkers.
During the attack Jolene at this point doesn't trust Nate anymore however they get seperated. Jolene manages to head to the nearby woods and to the Save Lots whilst Nate and his friend takes a car and head out the road.
However during this time, Nates friend would have also been killed. This is the snapping point for Nate, he no longer has anyone to hold onto other than the last remains of hope he may hold for his wife and daughter being alive.
Episode 2
During Episode 2, Jolene has gone overboard by this point. Her rude comments about men are referencing to her distrust to Nate as Danielle almost got bitten during the attack. This completley makes her come full-circle and hate men. She however can't remember Nate, this could be down to the fact she doesn'nt want to out of pity or hatred or the fact that she has become delusional to the point Nate almost forgotten by her. Danielle has already been captured, and dissapeared.
Episode 3
During Episode 3, Lee and the others are out on the road by the time Nate would find Jolene. Nate break down, with no one to hold onto or support him. This is when he snaps.
He no longer sees any point and realises the apocalypse is his perfect escape from his sanity.
Episode 4/5
This is normally when Nates sanity comes into motion, he could be making dark-decisions. (It's commonly speculated Lee died around Day 120-140, I think so he would not have met Rusell just yet).
Day 184
Meeting Rusell was a turning point for Nate. Notice how Nate normally referred to Russell as 'his boy'. This could commonly implicate that Nate saw Russell as a son. However his insanity sometimes got the better of him.
Fathers and sons commonly joke about females together (hotness, cuteness, etc.) There is a scene where Nate jokes about a walkers appearance to Russell however in a more "insane" way. In the process Russell almost gets bitten, however Nate surprisingly takes his gun out.
It could be to easily kill the walker but he could just drive and it'd be a lot faster, this could implicate that in the end he does want to keep Russell safe. Same with covering him, whilst the sniper almost shot him. Also the same when Nate saved Russells life. Also the same when Nate defended Russell against racism.
Nate does tend to see Russell as a way to replace his lost child, however if Russell disagrees to be a part of that it leaves Nate upset.
However there's one question: What happened to Nate?
Season 2
During Season 2, I believe Nate will be appearing a lot more commonly. He may find Clementine at the community and actually begin to bond with her. I think the community will fall apart and Nate will be the one who takes her under his wing (or maybe they escape as a group - Lilly, Christa, Omid, (400 Days Survivors Who Joined the Community)
I do believe if he comes with Rusell he later escapes the group or is kicked out since Wyatt describes him as a "crazy a**hole" maybe indicating that he did something out of the ordinary.
Anyway, I'd love to see Nate and Lilly together as they're two people who seemed to have lost everything in the hopes they can regain anything.
Here we go.

Comments
I do it because it's fun, as an ambitious writer many forms of media that revolve storytelling inspire me. So I love to have fun with characters I like.
Word of advice then, dont try and play the whole " hurting father " bit with Nate, because it seems like you are trying to get readers to sympathise with him and that wont work, hell he shot dead an old couple who were obviously afraid and pannicked, he is also voted most likely to rape someone during the Z.A, so to try and get people to like that kinda dude wont go over well =/
Thank you. I would say Nate snapped to an extent however the fact that he had little hope he may find his wife would keep him going. But due to the fact he finds Jolene dead after either Danny/Lee shot her.
I see
I hope Lilly is killed slowly by Nate while he smiles into her eyes
