A Guide to The Infernal Devices

Nate Gray is introduced in Clockwork Angel as Tessa's older brother who invites her to come to England to join him after their aunt, Harriet's death.
Tessa learns from the Dark Sisters that Nate has been kidnapped and will be killed if she does not agree to use her powers. Eventually, Nate is rescued from Alexei de Quincey and brought to the London Institute for questioning. However, it is revealed that Nate has been in league with Axel Mortmain, the true "Magister", all along, and betrays Tessa by giving her to Mortmain, though she is able to fake her death.
In Clockwork Prince, Jessamine Lovelace becomes smitten with Nate, and is manipulated by him to betray the Institute and provide information to him and Mortmain. At the end of the book, Nate reveals that he and Tessa are only cousins since Harriet is Nate's actual mother.
Nate is killed when he is struck by sharp metal from the automatons that exploded due to Henry's inventions.
