Editing Redout/Nate (section)

==Opinions==

Planetary Consortium/Tharsis League: Truth be told Nate rarely takes the time to wrap his head around this kind of stuff. His life doesn't need any added complication. At the end of the day though he's never had much to complain about. He knows a good group of people who've been bent over by the consortium but he's never been a part of it. From the perspective of the observer he's still sympathetic but knows he can't really understand their plight. At the end of the day though, he works for the consortium by proxy. They've signed his paychecks directly before but currently the owner of his bar has tight connections within the consortium. That could always change though, after all the consortium never done him any favors outside of demonstrating a good level of professionalism. Until that time though, Nate doesn't feel like stirring the pot.

Barsoomian Movement: Politics. Nate's not too dumb to think the Barsoomians don't have a legitimate gripe but he's still never been too interested in getting involved. Nate's never had enough stake in either side to pick one. He makes his money his own way, and never really suffered under the heel of the consortium. Personally, he'd like everyone to just make nice and quiet down but of course that's nothing more than wishful thinking on his part. The closest he's ever come to resenting the movement was the time he had to throw out a particularly rowdy group of agitators. Liquor has a funny way of inflaming passions like that. None of that hardly matters though, when the revolution comes it'll come. 

Criminal Organizations: Nate had his fill of the syndicates back in the day. He still maintains his contacts within but only at the bare minimum. There are still those within who think he didn't pull his weight when he threw the fight. Not showy enough, not believable, what have you. They hold grudges that way, but in the end it's just business. He did his fair share of work as a body guard after the last fight and they haven't forgotten that despite everything he's still willing to take a bullet or two for their lieutenants. He didn't stick with the hired muscle route for long but he left his mark where he did. Business is business.
