The Assassin with DID


Nathan, the
Assassin with DID

Played by Anthony Stewart Head

Did you know...that Repo isn't Anthony's first musical? He was in Buffy's musical episode "Once More, with Feeling...", and even in Sweeney Todd!

Age: 42
Motivation: Keeping Shilo safe, redemption
Type of Character: Dynamic

Father and monster, doctor and murderer, gentleman and Repo man, that is Nathan Wallace: dichotomy personified! Nathan is haunted by the belief that he murdered his wife. This horrendous event left him at Rotti's mercy. He became a GeneCo Repo man and seems like the atrocity of the job, along with the pain for Marni's death, caused a dissociative identity disorder in him. He is very caring, as seen in the scenes in which he cares for Shilo, but he can also be very unsensible, like he was with the patient in "Inopportune Phone Call".

Opinion: Nathan is one of my favorite characters, he can be so gentle and sweet yet so fierce and scary! He can be funny and gruesome at the same time, like when he uses that guy as a puppet in "Thankless Job". I love internal turmoil in a well-played character, hehe! Who would've thought that Mr. Giles would change sides and kill humans instead of demons, huh?

Best Songs: Legal Assassin, Thankless Job, Night Surgeon
