Mere moments later, a news bulletin warned the family of an imminent nuclear attack, which forced Nate, Nora and Shaun to rush to the vault, leaving their personal Mister Handy, Codsworth, behind.Īfter entering the vault, the family, along with the other admitted residents are placed in cryo-sleep by the Vault-Tec scientists, under the guise of decontamination prior to entering the main vault. On the morning of October 23, 2077, Nate was preparing for an event at the Veteran's Hall in Concord when a Vault-Tec representative visited the family to inform them that they have pre-approved admittance into Vault 111. At some point before the war, he married Nora and they had a son, Shaun in 2077. Nate is a former soldier and decorated war hero who served in the 2nd Battalion, 108th Infantry Regiment of the U.S.
