Nate brings history, charisma, and physical strength. In an apocalyptic world he is the kind of character who knows things others have forgotten — useful both for plot (how civilizations failed before) and for character (he's the one to ask why something happened, not just what).
Working sentence: Nate Heywood is the historian who became a hero, and is still trying to understand what history will say about him.
