Nathan "Nate" Silva is one of the protagonists in Power Rangers Beast Morphers. He is a child prodigy, as well as the chief researcher and head of technology of Grid Battleforce who developed Morph-X for use as a clean, sustainable energy source. He created the morphers used by the Beast Morphers Rangers, later joining the team as Beast Morphers Gold.
Nate is a child prodigy who joined Grid Battleforce at the age of six. When he was 10, he discovered a way to harness the Morphin Grid, allowing him to refine it into a substance called Morph X, which would later be tried as a sustainable energy source.
Nate helps Grid Battleforce create Beast Morphers to protect the energy project. He developed the Morph X powered arsenal they would use as well as a one-way transporter. He is forced to initialize the Ranger forms onto two people that were not candidates while Ravi was the candidate for becoming the Blue Ranger when Evox attempts to steal access to the Morphin Grid. Before Nate was captured, he created two morphers and two blade-like arsenals for Beast Morphers Gold and Silver Rangers, unfortunately Nate was later captured by Evox's Crew to finish the cybergate and body for Evox. While being captured he decided to repair a broken Wristcom to summon the Striker Morpher to foil Scrozzle's plan, then he shot two transporters which send Evox back to the cyber dimension. While in use, he used two Ranger DNA capsules to become a Ranger himself, luckily he succeeded by becoming Best Morphers Gold, while Steel's body became whole and functional which carried Nate's DNA to become Beast Morphers Silver.

Trivia[]
Despite his Sentai counterpart being designed after a rhino beetle, Nate derives his powers from the DNA of a mantis. The change occurred as the rhino beetle is not as familiar to a Western audience.
Nate is the first Ranger to be based on a mantis. The first Sentai Ranger with a deliberate mantis theme, however, would be Kamakiri Ohger of Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, almost 4 years after Nate's debut.
