'''Nathan Bellamy''' was the [[liaison officer]] to captain [[Anton Hara]] of the [[mercenary]] [[DropShip]] ''[[Kaylin]]'' when the latter was hired by [[Interstellar Expeditions]] in [[3067]] to accompany and safeguard Dr. [[Brooklyn Stevens]] on her IE-mandated mission to find the lost world of [[Jardine]].<ref name=QfJ5>''The Quest for Jardine'', Book 1: ''The Hunt for Jardine'', ch. 5</ref>

==Personal Appearance==
He was noted to be rather overweight, with a bulky physique and pasty complexion, and suffered from [[Transit Disorientation Syndrome]] to the point where K-F jumps made him physically ill.<ref name=FJ3>''The Quest for Jardine'', Book 1: ''Finding Jardine'', ch. 3</ref><ref name=FJ6>''The Quest for Jardine'', Book 1: ''Finding Jardine'', ch. 6</ref> He had short, spiky red hair.<ref name=FJ3/>

==History==
Hara and his crew were ordered to rendez-vous with Stevens's [[JumpShip]] ''[[Sacajawea]]'' in the [[Shasta]] sytem, where they made contact on 13 October. However, Stevens and IE had a tumultous past, and she was extremely wary of Hara's so-called support mission (of which she had not been advised beforehand), feeling he might mistake mission support for mission control. Their limited cooperation was marked by mutual mistrust.<ref name=QfJ5/>

The [[Word of Blake]] meanwhile sought to protect the secret of Jardine at all costs. They had attempted to kill Stevens and her team on Shasta already but failed; another attempt was the arrival of the DropShip ''[[Luminus Omega]]'' that attacked both the ''Sacajawea'' and the ''Kaylin''. Stevens's ship managed to jump out of the ongoing space battle to Jardine, the location of which they had just found out, and shared teh jump data with the ''Kaylin''. However, either by accident or by design the data was corrupted in transmission, forcing the ''Broken Knee'' to jump into deep space to evade the battle, recharge its [[jump drive]] from the ship's reactor, and determine the correct jump coordinates before jumping into the Jardine system proper. This gave Stevens a two-week headstart in exploring Jardine.<ref name=FJ3/>

Hara and Bellamy, readily prepared to betray Stevens, assumed that she had likewise tried to betray them. When Stevens's [[K-1|K-1 DropShuttle]] (the ''[[Magellan (Individual K-1-class DropShuttle)|Magellan]]'', was shot down over Jardine and crashlanded while her ship was operating under [[W:EMCON|EMCON]], they knew the system to be hostile.

Stevens later launched from the surface to escape from Jardine with a DropShip in pursuit. Hara and Bellamy decided to intercept her fleeing DropShuttle before the ''Sacajawea'' could pick her up, to effectively take her prisoner and steal her groundbreaking discovery of Jardine. To this end, they used the ''Broken Knee'' for an in-system jump bringing them closer to her K-1 and detached the ''Kaylin''. They discovered too late that the K-1 was not Stevens's DropShuttle at all, but a [[Stiletto-7|trojan horse]] carrying [[Manei Domini]] boarding troops. The Manei Domini, led by [[Apollyon]] himself, proceeded to board the ''Kaylin'' on 9 November 3067. Anton Hara, Nathan Bellamy, and implicitly everybody else aboard was killed.<ref>''The Quest for Jardine'', book 3: ''Escape from Jardine'', ch. 4-6, 9, 10</ref>
