Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Blood Queen by Nathaniel Eastwood Nathan Mahler Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Blood Queen by Nathaniel Eastwood Nathan Mahler. The chiropteran known as Nathan Mahler serves as Diva's chevalier, although it is kept a mystery whose Chevalier he actually is. He debuts in Episode 20. In the anime Nathan is one of the two that serves Diva that does not wish for Saya's death. Nathan is generally neutral and for the most part doesn't get involved in fights. Contents. Appearance. Human form. Though his origins are unknown, Nathan appears to be in his mid-30s and of European descent. He has curly blond hair, fair skin, and blue eyes. Nathan also wears a blue ruffled top that exposes his chest area, pink pants and white cowboy boots. Chiropteran form. Just like his other chevalier brothers, Nathan can transform into a chiropteran at will. In this form he has blue-ish skin, a large oblong head with small rows of teeth and glowing red eyes. But most worthy to note is how his arms change into scythes, much like that of a praying mantis. He also uses his transformed arms to subdue Hagi who tries to help Saya from Amshel. Characterization. Personality. Unlike the more dour characters of the series, Nathan is the friendliest and most colorful (literally and metaphorically) of all the chevaliers. Like Lewis of Red Shield, Nathan provides comic relief within the Cinq Flèches group, usually in the form of annoying James. He seems to take a paternal attitude towards Diva and fusses over her appearance. Nathan appears to care a great deal about Diva, as he is willing to let Amshel take her children in exchange for her. He is visibly saddened by her death. Nathan rarely participates in battle. He is more into living and enjoying his life as a drama. In the opening credits of the final season, Nathan is shown fighting with Saya though they never do in any episode. He stops some battles between Saya and his brothers, much to their annoyance. Nathan neither attacks Red Shield nor defends any of his fellow chevaliers from attack when involved in a battle. He does show hints of compassion towards his fellow chevaliers, including Hagi. For example, although he and Karl have no direct contact with each other in any scenes they are shown in together, Nathan asks the other chevaliers "Are you sad that our brother is dead?" following Karl's death. The exception to this is Amshel but this is not seen until the very end of the series: Amshel tries subtly to provoke and antagonize Nathan while at the same time seeming wary of him. Nathan shows no emotion to Amshel's apparent demise and criticizes him for never having understood Diva. Despite his bright and cheerful personality, Nathan can be deeply threatening when needs be. He rarely (if ever) gives orders, but none of the other chevaliers question him. Nathan quickly drops the flamboyant facade altogether when confronting Amshel. It's quite possible the flamboyancy is an act, or that the situation for him is a very serious affair. Relationships. Amshel. Nathan has a dislike of Amshel although his ever cheerful and carefree features do not express his emotion. He disagrees with the idea of Amshel using Diva as an experimental subject only. Solomon. At first glance, Solomon and Nathan are seen getting along but at some points, Nathan appears to know of his brother's growing feelings for Saya. Later on in the series, he is suspicious of Solomon and asks Amshel what he'll do about him. After Solomon is rejected by Saya, Nathan checks up on him and doesn't appear to take the issue seriously when he says that she 'dumped' him. When they return to the estate to see Diva's babies, Nathan tells Solomon to grow up a little, and after being imprisoned for attacking their queen, feels that Solomon was deserving of what happened to him for not only attempting to kill her, but for betraying Diva as well. He even disdainfully comments that his brother was a stupid chevalier. Despite this, Nathan goes out of his way to help Solomon, freeing him and giving him the rest of his clothes so he could protect Saya from James. James. Nathan enjoys annoying James with his provocative advances. He repeatedly rubs himself against James and teases him about his "Mama", even stealing James' pocketwatch (which contains a photo of Diva). He does however, seem to genuinely care for his fellow chevalier as shown when he saves James' life after nearly dying on Christina Island. Although he is the last to meet her, Nathan is the only chevalier Diva does not lose interest in following her pregnancy. Out of all Diva's chevaliers, Nathan may have understood her the most. Special Abilities. Nathan's chiropteran transformation. Power: Nathan's exact powers are unclear. Behind his seemingly effeminate and lackadaisical manners, Nathan may be the most powerful of the chevaliers and will assert his dominance over his younger "brothers" if he feels he needs to. He is the only one of Diva's chevaliers who can make Amshel back down if he chooses to, and the only one Amshel rarely attempts to manipulate. He also appears to be extremely powerful- as a chiropteran creeps behind him, he gently backhand slaps it, sending it flying with seemingly no effort. Speed: Nathan's speed surpasses that of all other chevaliers. He can either move so fast that he cannot be seen with the naked eye, or he can change his form to trick others into not being able to see him. He can take away James' locket without the owner even knowing. He goes to rescue James quite a while after Solomon leaves for Christina Island and manages to bring him before Solomon returns. However, it is suggested that he never reaches his full speed. Telekinesis: He also appears to have a form of telekinesis stronger than the other chevaliers, seemingly able to shatter glass with his voice. His telekinesis also shows enough strength to shatter iron chains when he released Solomon with a mere eerie glance. Blood Attribute: Presumably because he is the chevalier of Saya and Diva's mother, his blood is not affected by Saya's when she strikes him down nor does is affected Diva when she drinks it. It shows that he possesses some sort of immunity towards both Saya and Diva's blood, as he survives not only Diva drinking his blood but also being cut by Saya's sword. Anime Plot. Origin. As the audience is only shown some of the chevaliers' transformations into chiropterans, Nathan's true identity becomes more of a mystery near the end of the series; even Amshel does not know who he is or what his goals are. It's unclear how or when Nathan became Diva's chevalier or whether he is even her chevalier at all. Fans theorize that Nathan is either the chevalier of Saya and Diva's mother, and possibly even their biological father. However, the first theory is more popular for multiple reasons, such as his immunity to Saya's blood (if one assumes that chevaliers of one queen are not affected by the blood of her offspring). Since Nathan is far more interested in Diva than Saya, and speaks of "History repeating itself", it may be presumed that the queen he originally served was the blue-eyed twin as referenced by the conversation he and Amshel have in episode 48. In Paris. Nathan first appears in Paris on Episode 20 at Solomon's mansion where Diva is brought after awakening. He comes from New York and is shown to have planned for a few hundred years ahead. He says in his first appearance that he is the only one who has yet to meet her, meaning she had not yet woken from her hibernation cycle when he became her chevalier. In New York. Diva is later taken to his house in New York when she becomes pregnant. The other chevaliers frequently visit them and James' body is brought there to be reconstructed after his battle with Saya on Christina Island. The news of Diva's children is delivered to Solomon by Nathan. After Diva injures Solomon and James locks him up, Nathan frees his fellow chevalier to go and stage a drama to save Saya. At Metropolitan Opera House. While watching Diva sing before her final fight with Saya, Nathan firmly tells Amshel that he can have her children, but that he is taking Diva himself. He punctuates this by cracking the glass Amshel is holding by merely looking at it. Amshel himself does not react. This is the second time Nathan threatened one of his fellow chevaliers. Nathan states that the world exists to showcase Diva's beauty, as was predestined before she was born. As Diva and Saya fight, Nathan watches from the audience with interest, with Diva's children with him. When Hagi, seemingly having killed Amshel, appears to fight Nathan and aid Saya against Diva, Nathan persuades him not to act by saying that it is a fight between queens. As Diva crystallizes from the effects of Saya's blood, Nathan brings her children to her so that she can see them one last time. He laments to Saya how Amshel always treated Diva as an experiment rather than a person and failed to understand that all she wanted was a family, then explaining that Diva's blood had lost its poisonous potency against Saya following her pregnancy. He then asks Saya to kill him because he has no other reason to live without serving Diva.

    United States Attorney Jill Westmoreland Rose Western District of North Carolina ________________________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Lia Bantavani THURSDAY, MAY 18, 2017 704-338-3140 http://www.usdoj.gov/usao/ncw [email protected] 83 “BLOODS” GANG MEMBERS INDICTED ON FEDERAL CHARGES Largest Takedown in North Carolina to Date Targeting “Nine Trey Gangsters” CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Eighty-three alleged leaders and members of the “United Blood Nation” (UBN or Bloods) have been indicted on federal racketeering conspiracy charges and charges related to murder, attempted murder, violent assault, narcotics distribution, firearms possession and Hobbs Act robbery. A number of defendants are also charged with bank fraud, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft related to financial crimes. A federal grand jury returned the sealed indictment on May 16, 2017, which was unsealed today following this morning’s arrests. In a coordinated operation, more than 600 federal, state and local law enforcement officers executed the arrest warrants this morning in Charlotte, Cleveland County, and eastern North Carolina. Arrests were also made in Florida, South Carolina, New York, and Virginia. Of the 83 defendants charged, ten are not in custody. “This morning’s arrests are the result of a joint law enforcement investigation targeting alleged leaders and members of the Nine Trey Gangsters faction of the UBN. These defendants participated in a racketeering conspiracy, committing multiple violent crimes, including at least six murders and five attempted murders in North Carolina. Today’s law enforcement action delivered a serious blow to the leadership structure throughout the ranks of this criminal organization. And this is only the beginning.

  • WFO Shares Child Summer Safety Tips WFO Is Sharing Tips on How to Keep Kids Safe
    Issue 61 – May 2014 WFO Shares Child Summer Safety Tips WFO is sharing tips on how to keep kids safe. An unfortunate reality is that every year, thousands of children go missing. In cases of child abduction, the FBI works to assist in the investigation and speedy recovery of the missing child. In cases of child exploitation, an individual often targets a child for the purpose of abuse or violence. This targeting can be done in person by an acquaintance or a stranger or it can be done online through social websites and chat rooms. To help in child abduction recoveries, the FBI has developed the Child ID app which provides an effective way for parents and guardians to keep their child’s pictures and information on hand in case he or she goes missing. The app also includes safety tips for parents to help keep their kids out of harm’s way. The app is free and, in the event a child goes missing, parents and guardians can quickly email the photos and information to authorities. No information about you or your child will be collected or stored by the FBI. To download the Child ID app, go to iTunes App Store on your iPhone or Play Store on your Android phone. As the school year draws to a close, many parents are planning for their children’s summer activities. Whether a child is spending the summer at home with parents, a nanny or tutor, or away from home at a summer camp, the safety tips will help ensure that children are being cared for under the watchful eyes of trusted and vetted adults.

  • 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment
    Federal Bureau of Investigation, National Gang Intelligence Center 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment [NOTE: This is a cached text version of the report obtained after the report was removed from the FBI website. It is missing all of the illustrations that appeared in the original report.] Preface The National Gang Intelligence Center (NGIC) prepared the 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment (NGTA) to examine emerging gang trends and threats posed by criminal gangs to communities throughout the United States. The 2011 NGTA enhances and builds on the gang-related trends and criminal threats identified in the 2009 assessment. It supports US Department of Justice strategic objectives 2.2 (to reduce the threat, incidence, and prevalence of violent crime) and 2.4 (to reduce the threat, trafficking, use, and related violence of illegal drugs). The assessment is based on federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement and corrections agency intelligence, including information and data provided by the National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) and the National Gang Center. Additionally, this assessment is supplemented by information retrieved from open source documents and data collected through April 2011. Scope and Methodology In 2009, the NGIC released its second threat assessment on gang activity in the United States. The NGIC and its law enforcement partners documented increases in gang proliferation and migration nationwide and emerging threats. This report attempts to expand on these findings. Reporting and intelligence collected over the past two years have demonstrated increases in the number of gangs and gang members as law enforcement authorities nationwide continue to identify gang members and share information regarding these groups.

  • Gang Awareness Guide (PDF)
    Gang Awareness Guide As gangs become an increasing issue in our society, education is the key to recognizing their activity and understanding what they are about. However, when discussing gangs, a working definition must be developed. Gangs are three or more individuals, using the same name, sign or symbol who commit criminal acts individually or as a group to further their agenda. The following information is not exhaustive in describing gangs and their background, but is a basic framework to educate concerned community members. Crips: This street gang originally started in South Central Los Angeles in the 1960’s. Stanley “Tookie” Williams met with Raymond Lee Washington to unite local gang members to battle neighboring street gangs. Today, the Crips are one of the largest and most violent gangs, involved in murders, robberies, drug dealing and many other criminal pursuits. Crips identify with the color blue. Their biggest rivals are the Bloods and disrespect in many ways - calling them “slobs”. Crips call themselves “Blood Killas” and cross the letter “b” out or leave it off altogether. Crips do not use the letters “ck” as it denotes “Crip Killer” and substitute it for “cc” (as in “kicc” for “kick”). While traditionally African-American, today’s Crip membership are multi-ethnic. Bloods: The Bloods were formed to compete against the Crips. Their origins stem from a Piru street gang (initially a Crip set) who broke away during an internal gang war and allied with other smaller street gangs to form the present day Bloods. Since the Bloods were originally outnumbered 3 to 1 by the Crips, they had to be more violent.

At the Department, we are responsible for enforcing the law and ensuring the safety of those who live, travel, work and play in New Jersey. But our responsibilities do not end there. Our department also serves as chief provider of legal advice and legal representation to agencies of state government. This dual role makes us unique, and our mission doubly challenging. Among other things, the department provides regular State Police patrols to ensure that New Jersey roads and communities are safe. We conduct criminal investigations and prosecutions. We develop crime prevention and anti-violence strategies. We provide emergency management and homeland security related services. At the same time, we defend state statutes and, where necessary, file lawsuits aimed at safeguarding children, combating fraud, protecting consumers, preserving natural resources, and achieving other important outcomes on behalf of New Jersey citizens. In 2008, the department’s work included many actions and accomplishments designed to enhance the quality of life in our state, strengthen public confidence in government and, above all, make neighborhoods safer. In July, for example, we launched a major initiative in Camden city designed to cut down on violence and street crime. Done in partnership with Camden police and city government officials, the effort was part of Governor Jon S.
