Biography[]

Season Five[]

He is seen during the attempt to control the riot, accompanied by his fellow CERT team members. Alana Dwight stands up to him and he does not take it well. He aims his Pepperball gun at her. He is reprimanded by Herrmann. Even though they are armed with Pepper Ball ammunition, it is still possible to kill someone at close range. Herrmann advises Natoli that if he wants to hurt the inmates, to taser or mace them. Dwight thanks him for not shooting her. He punches her in the cheek, knocking her down.

When the body of Humphrey is found in the janitors' closet, Herrmann orders his operators to pacify the prison by any means necessary. Natoli enthusiastically asks if that means they can use the pepper bullets now, and Herrmann tells him to shut up.

Later on, their formation advances on the swimming pool. Piscatella emerges from a doorway. Natoli accidentally shoots him. Fatally.

In a juxtaposition to Bayley when he inadvertently murdered Poussey Washington in Season Four, the young, inexperienced officer's eyes fill with tears. Terrified, he states that he was aiming at the roof, but Piscatella was too tall. ("Storm-y Weather") He then takes part in covering up his murder, shortly after, Hermann guides the effort to cover up the murder and blame it on the inmates (simply because it would be less paper work to deal with), this involves moving Piscatella's body to the pool, positioning him so it looks like a stand-off occured with the inmates, and shooting the surrounding walls and Piscatella's body in the head. The CERT team then fabricate a story that Piscatella charged and tried to wrestle the gun the inmates during the storm and got shot with the gun and pepper bullets in the confusion and darkness, additionally Hermann gets a corrupt coroner to do the autopsy and not question the fabricated story and clear inconsisties with the time of injury and death.
