Personality
Nathaniel Hawthorne is a man of God, and appears to take his religion very seriously. He believes he was given a mission by God to pass judgement on heavy sinners. That's why he keeps himself in high esteem, being even a bit arrogant towards his fellow allies and enemies, much like Mitchell. Nevertheless. he is also smart, planning, and composed.

He might appear as a cold individual, rude, and even kind of ruthless. But he has shown a patient and caring side towards Mitchell, despite both of them getting into little quarrels.

Ability
Nathaniel's ability, known as The Scarlet Letter (緋文字,), allows him to convert his own blood into holy words and control them. They can be fired like bullets, or built up as a shield to deflect the enemy's attack.
