Nate Westen

Often down on his luck, but always in the market for a quick buck, Michael's younger brother Nate (Seth Peterson) keeps Michael on his toes. A gambler with a tendency to wager property that he doesn't own, Nate frequently finds himself strapped for cash and freelances out his brother's skills to get him through hard times.

Nate still hasn't forgiven Michael for being left to deal with their abusive father when young Michael joined the military, but the two brothers are able to find a common ground keeping their mother, Madeline, happy and safe. Michael and Nate know that in times of need, they'll be there to back each other up.
