Nathan Filmore is a member of the Advanced Systems division of the Institute in 2287.
Background[]
Nathan is the father of Quentin Filmore and the husband of Allie Filmore. He is optimistic about the synth Shaun, believing his development may be a key to a better future.
Although he tries to be a good father, the workload at Advanced Systems keeps him away from home and makes him unintentionally neglectful. Quentin is mostly self-sufficient, but even he is vulnerable to entire nights with their parents absent. Nathan typically relies on his co-workers to intermittently take care of him when he pulls late night nights with his wife. Janet Thompson, who has daughters herself, happily takes care of the young Quentin.[1]
In fact, by 2287, Quentin seems to deliberately misbehave to get attention from his parents, such as when he steals high grade stimulants from Dean Volkert's lab and feeds them to the synthetic gorillas. His parents punish him with grounding and making him prepare a hand-written apology, completely missing the desperate call for attention.[2] It doesn't help that Nathan routinely forgets promises he made to his own son, swamped by work. Quentin is used to disappointment and the endless promises of making up next week, which never happens.[3]
