Mr. Natas

Mr. Natas is the owner of a mining company who sends you to Mars in a digging pod in the game Motherload.

He rewards you with $1000 when you first go deeper than -500 ft, then $3000 when you first go deeper than -1000 ft.

He gives you a lot of kind advice, but turns forceful once you delve too deep. He starts warning you at -3500 ft where he warns you to not go deeper than -6000 ft.

Why? Maybe he's worried about the other miners, maybe something else....

For his ultimate involvement, see Ending.
