Nathan Whitcomb is a gangster who was formerly employed by drug lord James Beckett until the latter was imprisoned for over a decade.
Background[]
Fifteen years ago, Whitcomb served in James Beckett's organization for years. As mentioned by Det. Alvin Olinsky, the CPD were never able to prove his involvement in Beckett's crew. One night, he returned from getting food to discover one of the stash houses being raided by CPD but kept himself out of sight, to avoid capture himself. Having been in charge of $1 million belonging to Beckett, who was also arrested by Det. Hank Voight, Whitcomb called and lied to Beckett by informing him all of his fortune of over two million dollars was confiscated but only the renaming million had been processed. With a large fortune in his pocket, Whitcomb left his life of crime behind, bought himself a luxurious house, and went onto have a family using the money.
Actual Physical Violence[]
He doesn't physically appear but because of Barbara "Bunny" Fletcher's complaint against Voight, Beckett would go free, and he would get in contact with Whitcomb for aid in getting revenge on the CPD officers involved in his arrest. Whitcomb agreed to help in the scheme, especially when he realized Beckett thought they stole his money. Whitcomb hired delinquent brothers Enrique and Vicente Domínguez into planting a bomb on now Sgt. Hank Voight's car.
On the night Voight would be having a family dinner, he heard a noise and realizes a detail and manages to save his family in time just before the car explodes.
Debts of the Past[]
After his ordeal, Voight became determined to prove Beckett's guilt, especially when he is sent to a place where the charred body of Jacob Logan was found, member of the team that arrested Becket. Much later, Officers Kim Burgess and Sean Roman apprehend the Domínguez brothers who are question about the boss but are told it wasn't Beckett. Soon, Det. Alvin Olinsky got an idea and was able to identify Nathan Whitcomb, after finding he used to work for Beckett. While eating breakfast with his family, the CPD Intelligence unit would raid Whitcomb's house and apprehend him in front of his family. At the precinct, Voight and Olinsky interrogate Whitcomb about the $1 million that he stole from Beckett, though he refuses to talk and demands his lawyer, but gets worried after hearing his recorded last conversation with Beckett. The detectives point out how the other million was missing and speculate he kept for himself, as he tries to deny it. In the end, it would be confirmed that Whitcomb hired the Dominguez brothers to plant bombs in Voight and Olinsky's cars after they identify him, causing Olinsky to punch him in the face for his actions. Scared out of his wits, especially when the latter threatens to do it again, he admits his role in framing them for his theft but at the same time saying that it was all Beckett's idea to get revenge. Voight tells him there's a way to fix it.
Intelligence uses Whitcomb as bait for Beckett by having him admit to the infuriated Beckett that he was the one who really stole the money in order to finance a new life for himself, while promising him $200 thousand and the remaining money from selling his house, they would meet in a parking lot. When Beckett arrives, he throws some smoke grenades, making it difficult for the police to see him kidnap Whitcomb and flee. Taking him to another level of the area, he discovers the money is fake and realizing that Whitcomb was cooperating with the cops, he about to kill the scared man, but Voight arrives just in time to stop him, and Whitcomb watched as Voight nearly killed Beckett, but Olinsky got him to relent. Intelligence ended up arresting Whitcomb and Beckett.
Whitcomb was charged for conspiracy, accessory to murder and two counts of attempted murder.
