How did Nathan become the Repo Man?


According to my understanding, Nathan became the Repo man because he was formerly a doctor whose wife, Marni, was pregnant with Shilo. He gives her a 'cure', which is actually a poison that was substituted by Rotti Largo. Consumed with grief that he did not save his wife, he becomes the Repo Man???

I dont see how the grief connects with becoming the Repo man/puppet for Rotti Largo. Why does he feel that he owes anything to Rotti? Am I missing a connection somewhere that would make more sense of all this?

Rotti threatened to tell Shilo about the 'cure' that killed her mother unless Nathan did everything he was told. Take a closer look at the end of the scene when Rotti orders Nathan to kill Mag;

Rotti: We made an agreement...
Nathan: I will honor that agreement...
Both: You'll/I'll do as you're/I'm told so Shilo never knows
Rotti: About that dark and fateful night.
