Nathan Wuornos

Nathan Thaddeus Wuornos (b. 1976) is the biological son of Max Hansen, and the adopted son of Former Chief Garland Wuornos. He is a Police Officer, formerly the interim Chief, with the Haven Police Department, and a resident of Haven, Maine.

He suffers from a rare disorder known as "idiopathic peripheral neuropathy " (idiopathic meaning unknown cause), which causes him to have no tactile sensations. Whilst he explains his condition to others as medical, it is actually a results of the Trouble he inherited from his biological father, Max Hansen.

He works with his partner, Audrey Parker, to help Troubled people throughout Haven, Maine, whilst also helping her solve the mystery of her own past and how the Troubles began.

He drives a blue 1979 Ford Bronco.

Personality
Nathan is a very shy, but friendly person. He is quick to make friends with Audrey when she first arrives in Haven, Maine, and seems to be on a first name basis with nearly all of Haven's residents. He has a tendency to put the needs of others before his own, and has done this on more than one occasion, which sometimes puts him into difficult situations, He dislikes Duke Crocker with a vengeance, as Duke tormented and bullied his as a child due to his Trouble. Nathan also dislikes the Reverend Ed Driscoll, who wants to purge Haven of the Troubled people who he views as "damned", and is willing to endanger the lives of everyone in Haven to do so. Nathan does everything in his power to make sure this doesn't happen, however it is unfortunately not always enough.

Despite his acceptance of the Troubles and the Troubled people, he is stilled bothered by his inability to feel any physical sensations.

Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy
Due to his Trouble, Nathan is unable to feel any sort of physical sensation, including but no limited to pain, at all. Whilst he tells people that this is due to a medical condition, it is actually caused by a Trouble that he inherited from his biological father, Max Hansen. Although he has no feeling of touch, he is still able to feel Audrey 's touch due to her being immune to the Troubles. His inability to feel any physical sensations does prove to be advantageous at certain times, as he is able to ignore injuries that would otherwise incapacitate others. Whilst this can be useful, it is also extremely dangerous at other times, as he may not realise that he has suffered from a life-endangering trauma, and can still die.

Because of this, whenever he is injured, he is required to go to the hospital for a MRI scan to make sure that he hasn't seriously injured himself without knowing.
