Nathaniel Honkus

"Well, you know what they say- fair exchange is no robbery!"

-Nathaniel Honkus, Gallant Geese Book 2: Revolution! Nathaniel Tobermory Honkus was hatched in 2012 to parents Ignotus Yellowbeak and Helena Honkus, in a rural English village. He hatched 3 hours after his brother Preston, but the egg that Nathaniel hatched from was laid a day earlier than the egg Preston hatched from. This has led to a long-lasting debate between the two brothers over who is older.

First Employment

Nathaniel was hired by his brother Preston when Preston took over their mother's science company and began hiring more employees. Nathan protested against Preston's actions when Preston relocated the company to St Andrews and hired a chicken as his secretary. (CC: Diary of an Araucana Hen, Part 1) Eventually, Nathan trapped Preston's brain inside an enormous, but immobile, computer. Afterwards, Nathan shut down the company and the Honkus Science Innovators lab fell into a state of disrepair. (CC: HSI)

Cluckus Industries

Nathan handed over the deeds to the lab to his brother's chicken secretary, who immediately set to work converting the old coal mine into a bunker. An impressed Nathan joined her and some other chickens to work on building the bunker. As of early 2022, the bunker is still not finished, with more and more development continuing to happen. The bunker is expected to finish construction in early 2023. (CC: Diary of an Araucana Hen, Part 1, Diary of an Araucana Hen, Part 2)

Once Cluckus Industries had been established, Aurelia Cluckus formally hired Nathan as a bounty hunter, often sending him to steal plans for other experiments and occasionally the experiments themselves. However, Nathan's greed got the better of him and he eventually decided to steal the profits of a bank robbery from Cluckus Industries. This failed, and Nathan was fired and arrested, but he escaped custody and his arrest was later revoked. His role was later taken up by James Pond.

The TASM

After Preston Honkus managed to obtain a physical and mobile form again, he attempted to destroy everything except for the goose homeworld. Tristan was able to stop him, giving him the TASM and telling him to make up with Nathan. Preston found Nathan in the director's chair of a well-off publishing company. Nathan was surprised to see his brother again, and agreed to go exploring with him. The two ran into Tristan again a few times, often under dubious circumstances. (CC: Preston Honkus, The End of Time, 'Et tu, Hillary?', GG: The Conscious Pit, Revolution!, CCA: The Favour)

After a while, Nathan commented on the obvious state of disrepair that the TASM was in. Being too lazy to fix it, Nathan decided that they should steal a new one. Eventually, the crew of the TASM encountered Tristan's TARDIS, and the two crews boarded each other at the same time, causing Nathan to quote that,  'Fair exchange is no robbery!' (GG: Revolution!)

Quinton

In December of 2021, Nathan and Preston crashed on La Planeta Fantasma, a remote planetoid in the depths of Bakresh space. There they found their brother Quinton, who had also been sucked in by the planet's many temporal and physical anomalies. After repairing the damaged TARDIS using parts on Quinton's shuttle, the three brothers took off, and have not been seen since.

 

Current Location

As of early 2022, the whereabouts of Nathaniel, Quinton and Preston Honkus are unknown. It is also unknown whether or not they returned the TARDIS to Gallifrey.
