Reword this.
Nathaniel Phua is the son of August, known by his alias, Ballistic, formerly the celebrated champion of the Thunderdome Games. After August's recklessness in combat led to Kit Siang's death, he distanced himself from his wife and son and lived as a recluse for two decades. Nathaniel idolized his father and his successes, aspiring to follow in his footsteps as a professional Apex Games competitor.
Nathaniel qualified to enter the Apex Games, while August remained determined to protect his son from the destructive path he once followed. August convinced The Syndicate to allow him to participate in the competition instead of Nathaniel. Thus, Ballistic, August's old alias, replaced Nathaniel in the Apex Games.
Ballistic stormed The Syndicate facility, demanding to enter the games and take Nathaniel's place, and threatened Torres Silva that he would reignite his career with complete control over his interests. In the face of this threat and a potential ratings boost, Silva permitted Brinkman to enter the Apex Games.
After being disqualified, Nathaniel confronted Brinkman publicly and proceeded to destroy a Phantom model left by his father as a sign of his hatred for him.
