Forbes was initially a friend of Barnabas Collins in the late 18th century (366). Although his official duties were assigned to him by the U.S. Navy, he was assigned to Collinsport and most of his orders could be traced to Joshua Collins (434). A playboy and would-be gigolo, he met Victoria Winters when she time travelled to 1795 and failed to seduce her, reasoning that any woman in such immodest clothing would be easy prey (366). He continued to befriend Victoria until Reverend Trask blackmailed him into turning her over to the courts and testifying against her (433). Forbes' false testimony helped find Victoria guilty of witchcraft. Several attempts were made to change Nathan's mind, but the lure of the reward money from the courts was too much for him (437). He ended up turning Victoria

  • Forbes was initially a friend of Barnabas Collins in the late 18th century (366). Although his official duties were assigned to him by the U.S. Navy, he was assigned to Collinsport and most of his orders could be traced to Joshua Collins (434). A playboy and would-be gigolo, he met Victoria Winters when she time travelled to 1795 and failed to seduce her, reasoning that any woman in such immodest clothing would be easy prey (366). He continued to befriend Victoria until Reverend Trask blackmailed him into turning her over to the courts and testifying against her (433). Forbes' false testimony helped find Victoria guilty of witchcraft. Several attempts were made to change Nathan's mind, but the lure of the reward money from the courts was too much for him (437). He ended up turning Victoria in to the police for the money. When Millicent Collins arrived at Collinwood (later the Old House) for her cousin Barnabas's wedding, Nathan fixed on her as the ultimate golden goose (377). He connived to win her heart and marry her (419); however, the arrival of his wife, Suki Forbes, proved to be a problem (419). Nathan and Suki had been married since 1792. His marriage to her was a very unhappy one. He wanted to get a divorce from her, but she did not allow it. Suki pretended to be Nathan's sister (he had already explained his entire family was dead) (420) in order to blackmail Nathan, and the truth came out when she was murdered by Barnabas (423). Millicent discovered who Suki really was when she sorted through her papers and she refused to see Nathan ever again. Nathan enlisted the aid of Rev. Trask, Noah Gifford and members of the Collins family in order to win back Millicent (443)-(444). Millicent agreed to marry Nathan, but gave all her money to her brother Daniel to "prove" to her cousin Joshua that Nathan did not marry her for her money (447). After discovering that Millicent had renounced her fortune (448), Nathan drove Millicent insane, which was not a difficult task (449), and became Daniel's guardian (453). Once he successfully became Daniel's guardian, he hired Noah Gifford to kidnap and kill Daniel (454). Daniel escaped him and hid in the secret room in the mausoleum with Victoria Winters. Daniel later left the secret room to get help for Victoria but Noah found him and attempted to strangle him. Victoria shot and killed Noah. Peter Bradford found him and Forbes turned Peter over to the police believing he killed Noah. Forbes was responsible for Peter's conviction in court. In addition to Millicent, Victoria, and Suki, Nathan also carried on with Maude Browning at The Eagle (439). After Barnabas killed Maude he left her body in Rev. Trask's room (440) and Trask agreed to help Nathan win back Millicent if he would remove the body (441). Nathan and Noah threw her body into the bay where they assumed it would be washed out to sea.
