Bent Nature was a member the Shadow Cabinet group led by the powerful sorcerer "Red Dog" from the late 1800s into the mid-1900s. Bent Nature was not necessarily a member of the group throughout its existence.
Bent Nature is a very obscure character about whom very little commentary or biography has been written.
In Shadow Cabinet (vol. 1) #17 (Oct. 1995), Bent Nature was one of the old Shadow Cabinet members led by Red Dog to face off against modern Shadow Cabinet leader Dharma. Other old Shadow Cabinet members similarly led by Red Dog were Ether, The Magnate and Munition.
