Nathan Young

Nathan Young is the main protagonist of the Codex series and the current holder of the Codex, a powerful alien device that is older than the written word, making it a paradox in itself - yet the Codex is also Earth's main hope against innumerable alien threats that have since become known as fairy tales.

Nathan's task is to prevent the malicious entities described in the Codex from harming Earth and in the course of his adventures he will fight everything from whimsical fairy tale creatures such as Leprechauns to theological horrors such as the Grim Reaper (alll of which are alien rather than supernatural).

In order to ensure Nathan's success the Codex grants him unique abilities such as time-travel, reality-shifting, limited clairvoyance, "true" sight and multiple other gifts that shift with necessity.
