[edit] Description
Nathan is a Nobel prize winning mathematician[1], Global Dynamics' head researcher and Allison Blake's estranged husband [2]. Nathan has a very covert personality, and runs the Eureka installation with an occasionally tough command structure. He also commands the installation's tactical units, which are called in to contain various mishaps or problems. Keenly brilliant and rather coldly charming, he and Jack Carter quickly end up at odds. Nathan's desires to push the boundaries of science eventually compromise his personal integrity. Stark is still in love with Allison, and as such has not yet granted her a divorce. He is Allison's second husband. In "H.O.U.S.E. Rules," it was revealed Nathan was at some point Henry Deacon's student. In "Primal", he admitted under duress that he sometimes dreams of ruling the world.
In the episode "Once in a Lifetime", Beverly Barlowe, working for the Consortium, inserted a tracking chip on Nathan Stark's neck after hypnotizing Stark with a flash of light from a hand-held device.
In an interview, Ed Quinn said Nathan Stark is inspired by Marvel Comics' Tony Stark, as Andrew Cosby, the creator of Eureka, is also the co-founder of independent comic book publisher Boom! Studios and an Iron Man fan.[3]
