Nathaniel and Gideon Malick

Nathaniel makes a vow with his brother

Deciding to take Reinhardt advice, Nathaniel found a notched white stone inside, which confirmed that their father was a coward who cheated to avoid being the Traveler, and informed Gideon. Gideon decided to throw the stone to the lake and promised each other they would be together to the end, with Nathaniel unaware that Gideon threw a regular stone and in fact kept the notched stone to himself.[1]

Becoming a Sacrifice

The Malicks first ceremony

Nathaniel during his first ceremony

"I thought we had a deal."
―Nathaniel Malick to Gideon Malick[src]

During their first ceremony as young adults, Gideon handed the bag of stones around to the members of HYDRA to select the sacrifice to Hive. When they opened their hands Nathaniel received the white stone and looked to his brother in horror, noting that they had a deal which Gideon had betrayed. However the ceremony was finished and Nathaniel was taken to the Monolith and sacrificed while Gideon did nothing to save him. Upon arriving on Maveth, the planet on the other side of the portal, Nathaniel was intercepted by Hive who took him as a host, absorbing his memories.[1]

Legacy

Hive Memories

"What happened to "together to the end," brother?"
"Oh, I meant every word of that. I wanted you by my side, but I-I didn't have a choice."
"Is that what you've been telling yourself?"
"I never gave up on you, Nate. I carried on the tradition. I gave up everything so that you could return."
"You were never willing to give up everything."
―"Nathaniel Malick" and Gideon Malick[src]

In 2016, Hive returned to Earth, and using Nathaniel's memories and personality, spoke with Gideon and his daughter Stephanie about Gideon's betrayal and their father's cowardice.[1] A few months after his return, Hive fell into a trap that forced him to recall random memories from random hosts, including Nathaniel.[2]

Personality

"I'm trying not to be nervous about the ceremony tomorrow, but... I had to know."
