Trivia
- โ"Nastas" is a Navajo name which means "curve-like foxtail grass."
- โAlthough Nastas is a Navajo name, it is more likely that he was modeled after a member of the Apache nation. He makes several comments about his tribe hunting buffalo, which were hunted by Apache and Comanche but not by the Navajo. It is possible he was talking about Native Americans in general. It should also be noted, that both the Navajo and Apache speak Athabaskan, which is the language spoken by Natives across the Western part of North America.
- โHe has his own custom carved flute, which he plays fluently.
- โIf Nastas witnesses Marston killing an animal during "At Home with Dutch", he will call Marston a bastard.
- โAfter he is killed, it is possible to loot him, and he will carry four to seven dollars. This does not result in a loss of Honor or a failure of the mission.
- โHe, Hassun and Chogan are the only non-hostile Native Americans in the game.
- โWhen Nastas dies and the cutscene ends, if the player were to look at his body, his face would sometimes become deformed. This is the result of a glitch.
- โNastas sides with the Bureau of Investigation as he does not approve of Dutchโs influence on his people. Ironically, they share the same voice actor.
- โAlthough Marston and Archer Fordham always pronounce his name as "Nosstas", MacDougal sometimes pronounces it as "Nastoss".
- โNastas appears to wear some sort of mocassin shoe. If you look closely enough, you can see the stitching on the side of his shoes.
