Nathan's father?

[Von_Kalev]

During my second playthrough, I received some anonymous threats and one of them claims to be Nathan's father.
Do you think he could be related with the disappearances? or be a major player in upcoming chapters?

Given that he is so powerful and his son does whatever he wants, I think we'll meet him in the future.

The text claims to be from Nathan's father but would he really introduce himself that way? I think it's more likely that the text came from Nathan himself using a borrowed phone.

What other threats did you get? I only got one.

As I recall, the first one was an annonymous text saying that he/she knows where I sleep and creepy stuff like that, like "I'm watching you"; then the second one was a "polite warning" from Nathan's father about harassing his son with lies (the gun incident).

And I don't remember if there was another one, I'll have to check it.

I got both, it could be his father but I'd have thought he would be more formal and file a complaint to the school or email Max. Then again, they seem like a shady family.

I'm pretty interested in seeing what they will do if Max keeps getting in their way...

I mean, it doesn't make sense to use a private number and then tell her who you are. The evidence is still there. I don't know.

^This. Plus, I just don't see someone as rich and powerful introducing themselves as "Nathan's father" via anonymous text. It sounds like when a kid fakes a parent's signature for school stuff: "Nathan can skip school today. -Nathan's dad."

I'm just not buying it... And honestly, those texts could be from anyone.

[Von_Kalev]

Good points!

Nathan's family is powerful. But I think it's just a smokescreen to the plot. Nothing is what is seems. I think the vortex club and some other people are the real troublemakers.

This makes sense to me. The "Nathan's father" text only shows up if you tell the principal about Nathan's gun, so I think someone who heard about Max telling the truth is the person behind the text. Plausible candidates from main 12: Jefferson, Victoria, Nathan, David, or Principal Wells.

[UCSC] KaraThrace,
Actually no, it appears even without telling about the gun. So the only one person who knows about Max being in the bathroom is Nathan. So his family can be involved or maybe not. Does Nathan know Max`s phone number? I suppose he doesn`t, so he could ask principle or his father(connection in phone company). We don`t know much about his family at all, maybe they are good and don`t know ♥♥♥♥ about Nathan, they are scared maybe. So I think 3 options possible:
1)Nathan`s family don`t know about him and his dirty business with vortex club they just give him money.
2)Nathan and his family involved.
3)Same as option 1 but now his parents want to stop him so theн ask Max for help.

Having tested many different choices, no, the "this is Nathan's father" text only appears if you tell Principal Wells about Nathan having a gun. Unless you have evidence to contradict every playthrough and LP I've played/seen of Episode 2, I'm not going to buy that the "stop slandering my son" text shows up if you don't tell the truth about Nathan.

I think that if any of the texts are from Nathan, he probably got Max's phone number from Victoria. They're clearly close--he's probably heard about Max from her in the past.
