==Biography==
Daniel Johnson was recruited by the Foundation in order to help the organization in helping humanity and fight the anomalous. However, during the interviews he was presented with countless moral and ethical questions, all regarding if he was ready to sacrifice a small percentage of people to save a larger percentage. He originally tried to give them answers that they wanted to hear but as weeks went by he was forced to answer these questions under hard circumstances. Eventually, he lost his morality and became easier answering the questions, until the last interview in which he was asked what he would do to save the world to which he replied that he would do anything. He then began abducting numerous people from homeless communities, prisons and psychiatric clinics who wouldn't be remembered by anyone, and turn them into D-Class personnel. Over time he would be tasked with finding individuals with special features in order to interact with certain anomalies.
Johnson was tasked alongside Mobile Task Force Epsilon-6 with containing an incident involving SCP-1233 crashing into a campus, murdering several people and injuring others more. Under the guise of CDC agents, Johnson and the MTF worked in gathering all of the witnesses, attempting to find Greg Weaver as he was needed due to having AB-negative organs, but discovered that he had been killed during the accident. This forced Johnson to try and kidnap the town's chief officer since he also had the type of organs needed, but figuring out that his actions would be protested by the townspeople he decided to manipulate SCP-1233 into helping him.
Since the Foundation would douse the entire town with amnestics that would be released from the their planes, Johnson took the opportunity to manipulate 1233 into getting the chief officer instead of having the MTF to do it as that would lower morale. Before going on with his plan, Johnson quickly captured a distant relative of Walt Disney in order to use them in dealing with SCP-3640, and a SCP-3380-A instance. He and his fellow agents then broke inside Doctor Orville Blake's home and sprayed a strong mix of amnestics to make him compliant and force him into a body bag. After that was done, he made his way to the police station and while planning to assault the building to get to the officer as 1233 was absent, he came across Julie Cartwright, a girl with heterochromatic eyes, and attempted convince her to follow him as an individual like her was acquired for SCP-020. Suddenly, 1233 crashed nearby and seeing his opportunity Johnson quickly disposed of the girl and went up to the Moon Champion. He lied to 1233 that the girl, the police, and several others were spies for the Moon Monsters. He also added that the Moon Monsters were present on the Betelgeuse star, hoping that after the Moon Champion got rid of the obstacles he would get stuck on the star.
Once that was over, Johnson continued with his difficult assignment of finding the sixth sons of sixth sons in order to use them to contain SCP-2747. He was informed by his handler Gordon that the individuals didn't need to be human as animals could also work. On the orders of O5-9, Johnson was sent to claim the Wobbegong shark known as Wobbles, which possessed a force that made her impossible to touch, in order to breed her and use her offsprings to contain SCP-2747. The night before meeting with the Wilson's Wildlife Solutions at their lodge containing Wobbles, Johnson broke inside the lodge and set up amnestics in the chimney so the WWS personnel would forget that the shark ever existed the next day. When tomorrow arrived, Johnson met with Erica of WWS, under the pretext of temporarily taking Wobbles for a quick work before returning her. However, once the two managed to unload the shark into Johnson's car the amnestics began kicking in, forcing him to take some mnestics while Erica was able to sense that something was wrong. Johnson told her the truth as she would eventually forget, and ordered her to burn all documents regarding Wobbles and his involvement in this. Erica shocked by this turn of events complied. Afterwards, Johnson surrendered Wobbles to the Foundation, earning him praise from his handler.
His next assignment was to train the newly recruited agent Tomàs Rey with the assistance of imprisoned evil scientist Madison Craggs. As part of the training, Johnson lied to Rey about their actual mission, telling him that the two agents would assist Craggs in finding a person with a suitable brain for her to experiment. While eating at a dinner, Johnson explained to Rey how some lives were more valuable than others and sacrificing those innocent lives for the safety of those important, with Craggs adding that every single person surrounding them were just mindless drones that meant nothing to them, disgusting Rey. After finding a girl with a suitable brain, Rey began secretly stalking her, while Johnson watched from afar. As Rey followed the poor girl near a campus, Johnson was suddenly attacked by a small group of four instances of SCP-3033-2 which were in fact part of the training. Johnson opted to fight them hand-to-hand instead of just shooting them, allowing them to severely beat him up, until Rey abandoned his target and intervened, driving the SCP-3033-2 instances off.
This served as a distraction to allow Craggs to escape, prompting Rey to go after her and luckily capture her in time. Once Johnson recuperated himself, the three began driving back to the Foundation site. Rey at first believed that their mission was a failure, but both Johnson and Craggs revealed that it was all part of his training, wanting to know what his priority was in a situation like this, which he barely completed. Rey became furious at this and demanded how he should trust the Foundation, but Johnson simply responded that he just had to and there was no guarantees.
Johnson then meet up with Junior Researcher Benedict Kim and the anomaly he was assigned to, SCP-3009, a Snapchat account previously belonging to teenage girl named Stacey Lee which had achieved sentience and believed herself to be the real Stacey Lee. He first met Kim while eating near each other in Site-19's cafeteria and attempted to engage in a conversation with him, much to Kim's disturbance. However, they were interrupted by SCP-3009 trying to talk to Kim on his phone, prompting the researcher to converse with her while Johnson watched. Feeling awkward, Kim introduced 3009 to Johnson who in turn introduced himself to both of them. Upon learning that Johnson was an agent she became interested in what he did, leading to the two conversing with each other with Kim staying aside thinking to himself about Johnson's profession. Their conversation eventually came to an end, with Johnson telling 3009 that the Foundation could use her help and promising her and Kim to meet them again.
Following the containment breaches of various anomalies, Gordon tasked Johnson with neutralizing SCP-3774-2432 and recontain her companions SCP-049 and SCP-4028. Johnson decided to recruit the help of SCP-3009 and requested Kim to inform her that there was a job for her. Johnson was joined by Agent Rey and as they were about to prepare themselves 3009 came to his phone to receive her mission. Johnson told it to go to the phone of Clint Trevor, a man formerly named Merle Gilroy who had fallen in love with 3774-2432 before he was amnesticized, to spy on him and find out if the anomalies had already entered his house to which it obliged. Waiting in his office and reading about the target anomalies, 3009 came back to Johnson's phone and informed the two agents that 3774-2432 had indeed arrived to Trevor's home, accompanied by two other men.
With this information, Johnson and Rey got on a chopper and made their way to Trevor's house, planning to kill 3774-2432, recontain 049 and 4028, and amnesticize any witnesses. The duo barged inside the house, knocking down Trevor and finding 3774-2432, but accompanied by SCP-3589 and former D-Class Tyrone instead of the anomalies they had expected. Tyrone sought for them to escape, but 3589 decided to fight back, using his power to produce countless arms composed of various materials to attack them. Johnson ordered Rey to keep 3589 busy while he went after Tyrone. Suddenly, 049, 4028 and SCP-4799-1, a female humanoid wolf who was the commander of a interdimensional pirate crew, arrived in 3774-2432's aid. Johnson was unable to catch up to Tyrone, so he just threw a tracker on him and letting him go for now. He returned to the house where he temporarily took out 4028. During the battle, Johnson decided to kill Trevor.
Both 4799-1 and 049 attempted to tackle him down, but quickly moved out of the way and also killed 4799-1, trapping the doctor under her corpse. With 3774-2432 grieving on her husband's corpse, Johnson took the opportunity to finally neutralize her. Enraged, 049 managed to free himself and grab his leg, causing Johnson to fall and losing his grip on his gun. 049 removed Johnson's helmet and used his death touch to kill him, before also killing Rey shortly after. In the bloody aftermath, SCP-2852 manifested nearby.
==Personality==
Once a normal man simply wanting to help the world, after numerous interviews by the Foundation, Johnson lost all of his optimism and came to embrace the horrible actions that the organization took, believing that the ends justified the means, and was ready to give up his own life to complete one single objective. His job involved forcefully recruiting additional Class-D personnel by abducting numerous people who were considered unimportant and liabilities, which included the homeless, prisoners, psychiatric wards patients and even infants. Johnson would gather these individuals by masquerading himself as a humanitarian worker or government official who promised to find a better and safer place for them, only to bring them to some Foundation facilities to be used as experimental test subjects. This led to him devoting his life solely to his job and dismiss the emotions of people involved due to making the work harder. He still valued life and civilians, telling himself that he was sacrificing some for the majority's safety. He was very confident in himself, and apparently less in his teammates. He thought that WWS didn't take their job seriously as their low security would inevitably lead to disaster and their manner of work, although for the better for the psychology of the anomalous animals they contained, didn't actually make sense. Despite all of this, when Johnson met up with SCP-3009 he became sincerely friendly with her, telling her harmless information which was safe to share, and the teenage girl-minded AI even opened up to him. However, this may have been part of his manipulation in order to have 3009 onboard in helping the Foundation, but he did promise both her and Researcher Kim to meet them again. Sadly, 3009 seemingly lost her trust in Johnson after being used to assault 3774-2432 who just wanted to be reunited with her long lost husband. During his time of work, Johnson would attempt to make his missions less difficult, as seen when he killed Clint Trevor in order to directly get to 3774-2432, planning to lie to the Foundation that it was an inevitable casualty.
==Powers and Abilities==
Agent Johnson was a normal human being trained as an agent with no real powers. Despite this, he was a great manipulator, making up convincing lies on the spot, to get unsuspecting people into the Foundation sites to be used in experiments. When dealing with troubled individuals, Johnson could use his resources from the Foundation to capture them, such as several amnestics and mnestics to mess with their minds, or weapons and additional agents to force them into compliance. He was an expert in hand-to-hand combat as he managed to hit a few SCP-3033-2 instances in critical points in their bodies which would've easily taken them down it wasn't for their modifications. He was also equipped with plot bullets which could temporarily kill pataphysical entities like SCP-4028.
==Appearance==
Agent Johnson is a caucasian man with brown hair, a square jaw, athletic build, nondescript face and wearing a usual agent suit.
==Trivia==

*Johnson had a habit of intricately cutting his food, usually turning it from a normal and unremarkable appearance into a form of art and looking more pricey than it actually was.
