In chapter 12, Daniel is living in the village and working as the blacksmith. He ends up recruiting about twenty young men to be an army for Rosh working in the village. Nathan is the first one Daniel recruits for this band.
Nathan originally comes to Daniel as a customer--he has a scythe that he needs mended. Daniel notices that Nathan has a black eye and is agitated as he waits for Daniel to complete the repair. Uncharacteristically, Daniel strikes up a conversation with the boy and finds out that his father has recently started working for the tax collector. The boy's own friends jumped him the previous night and beat him up because of their hatred for tax collectors.
Daniel sees promise in the boy, so he offers to walk home with him to protect him from further assault, but Nathan is offended at the offer. Daniel modifies the request so that it is more palatable, and the two leave together. When the expected onslaught comes, Daniel helps Nathan make short work of the six or seven attackers. Daniel then recruits Nathan to "use those fists ... for a good purpose."
