Nathan was facing Northeast at the start.
------------------------
Supposing a circle, the directions can be divided as:
Northwest | Northeast
Southwest | Southeast
Thus, from in clockwise way, it goes: Southeast - Southwest - Northwest - Northeast.
In counter-clockwise way, it goes: Southeast - Northeast - Northwest - Southwest.
------------------------
Nathan:
Three-quarter turn anticlockwise, ends up facing southeast.
The equivalent would be a one-quarter turn anticlockwise, in which he would end up facing northeast, which means he was facing Northeast at the start.
