Dan Timbly

: "One day, I'll fight in here! One day..."―Dan Timbly standing in the Arena for the first time
Dan Timbly is a Petronas City student, who lives with his mother Lara Timbly. A member of the Coherents, he has a wish to become the greatest Element Duel fighter. He participated in the World Tournament in 2012 but lost in the second round.
Dan moved to Petronas in 2011, soon after the city was founded. He left his village with his mother Lara, only to escape the terror his father Ronnie had put on them. Several months later, Dan was approached by a retired Element Duel trainer Wada who wanted to train him, but who unfortunately passed away the same afternoon.
When Patrik Von Dolph's plan threatened Petronas, Dan was summoned by the Gypsies and became a part of the Coherents, along with James Robinson, Santa Claus Bifsi II, and Vlado Krklec. The group would defeat Von Dolph and secure the city's safety. Due to Dan's involvement in this, mayor Helliar appointed Zorotos as Dan's second trainer. Around this time, Ronnie returned to Dan's life by coming to Petronas.
When the Coherents fell apart after arguing over handling Tymerio, Dan continued to train for the second Element Duel World Tournament. He crossed paths with skinheads, and defeated his father in a brawl. Before the tournament, Zorotos left the city, while Dan lost to Patrik Apatomus several days later. He would then help defeat Tymerio. He became good friends with Leo Sparks as his grandfather returned to his life, while having problems with Božidar Vilušić and headmaster Zuro Karleuša.
==Biography==
=== Early life and move to Petronas ===
Dan's early life is unknown at the time.
When Dan was young, his father used to beat him and his mother. Dan never liked his grandfather, perhaps because he was rude, and never liked Dan much.
It is known that he moved to Petronas in April 2011 with his mother. When Tomislav Jantol High School was built, he had to attend the school.
He never had a good relationship with headmaster Karleuša, nor with other professors, especially professor Vilušić.
===The Curious Case of Martin Gellenvary - Part 3===
In September 2011, Dan Timbly was one of many people who saw Martin Gellenvary's speech about Anne Zallery.
===The Champion===
In late October 2011, Dan was watching Helliar's speech about Element Duel World Tournament. He always wanted to be a champion, but never got a trainer to train with, and he was a kid.
One morning, when he had to go to his school, he saw a lady in trouble, and a man who stole the woman's bag. The man was Lukas Retriver. Dan went on a building, and from the top jumped on Wool Factory Kling-Klong. After that, he jumped on a thief who stole lady's bag, and finally, returned the bag.
Everything would've been fine, but Dan was seen by a retired Element Duel trainer, called Wada. Wada saw potential in Dan, and asked him if he wanted to train with him. Dan was happy, and decided to train with Wada. Wada brought Dan to Practice Arena, where they met Element Duel fighter Garemu.
Dan saw that Garemu hates Wada, but for unknown reasons at the time. Later, Dan went to his school. On his way, he was seen by headmaster Zuro Karleuša, who asked him where he was. Dan told him the truth, but Karleuša didn't believe him. He thought Dan was in Public House or in a Strip Club, so he told that to Lara Timbly.
Dan's mother was very sad, and accidentally told her son that she visits Icerman. Dan, who was now angry, went to Practice Arena, where Garemu was training. Garemu told him the truth about trainer Wada, who couldn't battle in Element Duel anymore since he didn't give his last student protective clothes before a fight. Dan was shocked, and decided to visit Wada.
When he knocked on Wada's doors, Wada's relative, told him that Wada is currently in Petronas General Hospital, sick and dying.
Dan went to the hospital, where Wada told him to win the tournament for him, and to visit Kobrioce LeMuerta and ask him for a good trainer. Dan later went to Main Arena, where he met Kobrioce LeMuerta. Kobrioce didn't give him a trainer. Dan was then sad, and decided to help people. He forgave his mother, and visited Wada once more.
In front of his eyes, Wada died. Soon after, Dan is seen entering new Arena, before the tournament, and Garemu gave his permission to see it. Dan said he will one day fight in there.
===The Coherents===
In March 2012, Patrik Von Dolph decided to steal Akhmunkaron's tablet from Petronas museum. He wanted to release The Great Goronoth, an ancient beast that would destroy the city. Gypsies in Petronas heard about it, and wanted to make a team that would stop Von Dolph.
Dan Timbly became a part of gypsy team, because of his Element Duel skills. In gypsy neighbourhood, Dan met his team partners, Vlado Krklec and Santa Claus, and later James Robinson.
Dan's first mission to stop Von Dolph would be to break into Dolph's house, with his team member James Robinson. He searched for some secret documents, but didn't find anything. Later, Dan invited Robinson to come to his house and watch TV, and Robinson accepted. When Robinson was entering the house, he was seen by Franjo Filipović, who later told Helliar that James Robinson returned to the city. When Dan Timbly's mother entered her house, she thought Robinson was looking familar to her, but he told her his name is Mr. Perek.
Dan and Robinson later met Krklec and Santa, and returned to gyspy neighbourhood. Dan then thought that the only way to stop Von Dolph would be to find Rose Path object. The Coherents thought that was a good idea, and decided to ask Helliar about it. Dan went to Helliar later that night, in other clothes, and Helliar told him to ask Sašo Šimić about Rose Path, because Šimić found it.
Later, Dan heard that his mother was under arrest, because Robinson was seen in her house. He and Krklec then went to Šimić's house, only to hear that object can't be taken from the underground.
Both later returned to gypsy neighbourhood, and were disappointed. Dan then met Andrija, leader of a gypsy gang called "Lojzijus", who was responsible for the creation of The Coherents.
Later, Krklec was arrested, and Dan and Robinson decided to break into the Police Station. When they broke in, they found both Krklec and Dan's mother, Lara. Soon after, they returned to gypsy neighbourhood, only to hear that Von Dolph started attacking the city on St. Jantol Island.
James Robinson, Krklec, Santa and Dan then went to St. Jantol's island. They couldn't get on it the normal way, since there was an electric invisible barrier protecting the island. Dan later said that they should get to the island from the ground, and he saw a secret underwater entrance of Wololo's Modern Slab House. Santa got in the house first, and was followed by Dan, Robinson and Krklec. Dan, in the basement of the house, met Miro Skočimiš.
Soon after, The Coherents went outside, only to face Von Dolph. Von Dolph told Dan that he is the most annoying out of four Coherents, and that he will get rid of him first. Von Dolph wanted to kill Dan with his flying blocks, but Dan was fast and moves, otherwise, he would be dead.
Von Dolph then attacked each Coherent alone, and got rid of Krklec, Santa and Robinson. He said he will get rid of Dan with his bare hands, and knocked Dan on the floor.
Dan was then unconscious on the floor. He was in his mind, where he saw trainer Wada, and he talked to him. Wada told him to wake up and destroy Von Dolph once and for all. Dan accepted, woke up, and atacked Von Dolph. He knocked Von Dolph, and everything went back to normal.
Few days after the battle, The Coherents were invited on Philip Morrison's penthouse party. Dan told everyone that Helliar found him a trainer to train with, and that soon he will start practicing Element Duel.
===True Trainer===
In April 2011, Dan's father, Ronnie, moved to Petronas City, only to look for Lara Timbly and Dan. He moved into their house.
At the same time, Dan was talking to his new trainer, Zorotos, about Petronas, its people, and even The Coherents. When Dan returned home, his mother told him that his father moved in. Dan was mad, and even wanted to beat his father, because now he was stronger and fought in Element Duel. Later, Dan went to Practice Arena, to practice Element Duel.
When he came, arena was empty. He started training, but Garemu appeared. He talked to Garemu, and suddenly, when he mentioned that only he destroyed Von Dolph, Zorotos showed himself. He was hiding in the chest, spying Dan.Dan then trained with Zorotos. In the evening, Dan returned home, only to find his mother beaten up by his drunk father, who was supposed to return home in the morning. Dan waited for his father, and when his father appeared in the morning, Dan talked to him. He told him to leave at once during that day.
Dan then went to school. On his way, Dan remembered how he met his former trainer, Wada. When he got to school (he was late), headmaster Karleuša talked to him, and again told him that he was in Public House or in a pub. Dan left school, and went home. When he got home, he saw his trainer Zorotos, talking to his father Ronnie.
Ronnie then told Dan and Zorotos to leave the house at once, even calling the house "his house". Dan wanted to beat his father, but Zorotos told him to leave. When they were out of the house, Zorotos told Dan to perform the "twist" he did when trainer Wada saw him many months ago.
Dan went into the same building, but was stopped by Ronger fan Zorro. Zorro asked him if he likes Ronger, but Dan said he doesn't. He then went to the rooftop, where he jumped on Kling-Klong factory.
Zorotos was proud, and they both went to Practice Arena. Zorotos then made a phone call, called Lorgo, and told him that he has a small problem he has to deal with.
In the evening, Zorotos told him that he mastered Element Duel Fire/Water, and that he will soon start practicing Element Duel Water. When Dan returned home, his mother told him that his father was beaten up and that he left their home. Dan was happy, and said that "his father deserved every piece of it".
===Fall of Coherents===
In June 2012, leader of ancient clan, Tymerio, was caught in Petronas, but later escaped. The secret agency wanted to hire The Coherents to find and fight Tymerio. Agent Smith went to Practice Arena to get Dan, and he saw Zorotos training with Dan. Dan asked Zorotos if he should go, and Zorotos said yes.
Dan was brought to the Military Base, along with Vlado Krklec, James Robinson and Santa Claus Bifsi II. There, the four were discussing the situtation, but Dan was against The Coherents reunion.
Dan left the Base, but Santa was still saying how he should fight against Tymerio. Dan didn't really want to fight, he wanted to focus on Element Duel, and they quarreled. Dan then went to the Practice Arena to train with his trainer Zorotos, and said that The Coherents are idiots.
===Masker's Battle===
In Masker's Battle, Dan Timbly was seen very briefly in a flashback of The Coherents, standing right next to James Robinson.
===A New Era===
Since April, Dan was training Element Duel with his trainer Zorotos.
One day, in Tomislav Jantol High School, professor Vilušić was talking about Helliar-Shorty King political war back in winter 2011, and he asked Dan about events in March 2012. Dan remembered The Coherents and his battle against Patrik Von Dolph, but rather said Ivo Grigić died. Professor wasn't pleased, and Dan told him that he has more imporant problems that school (like Element Duel World Tournament that was about to open in a few days).
Later, Dan went home, and was happy because he had to sign up for the tournament with Zorotos. At his home, he talked to his mother and trainer.
Soon, Zorotos and Dan were going to sign up, but they met Žarki Lik and his trainer Sucod. Sucod and Žarki told Dan and Zorotos that they will win the tournament, since Žarki is very good. Dan said that's wrong. Soon, Dan and his trainer signed up. After that, Zorotos went home, but Dan went to the church. He told God that he wants to win, but his prey was heard by woman Jelka. Jelka told Dan that he should win Element Duel tournament by fighting. Dan sarcastically said that Jelka's advice helped him.
Dan then went home, and saw professor Vilušić, who just had a conversation with Dan's mother, about Dan. He wanted to make Dan's life miserable by lying to Dan's mother about her son.
Back in Dan's house, Dan's mother was sad because of Dan's "problems" in school, but Dan went to his room to watch TV. That evening, Lara Timbly went out, and Dan was visited by his trainer Zorotos. When Zorotos arrived, Dan and his trainer heard Ronnie Timbly's voice, calling Lara and Dan. When Dan and Zorotos went out, they saw Alan Five and Ronnie Timbly, who were ready to attack and probably kill the two.
Zorotos told Dan to run, and he did run, but was chased by Ronnie Timbly. At the same time, Zorotos fought Alan Five. Dan talked to Ronnie for a moment, but soon, they fought, and Dan won.
The next day, Dan and his mother went to the Arena to sign some documents, and they talked to Zorotos, who decided to leave Petronas City, since he wanted to see his family, and was defeated by Alan Five.
Dan was ready to win the second Element Duel World Tournament.
===World of Peace===
Dan lost the tournament in the meantime. He fought against Patrik Apatomus, but lost.
He didn't go to school for a few days, and was very sad. He didn't talk to his mother much. One day, his mother, Lara Timbly, walked into his room and saw him standing next to the wall. She told him about school party that was about to be held that day, and Dan accepted to go there.
Soon, at 7 o'clock, Dan arrived to his school, but he was too early, since the party was actually half an hour later. In the school, he saw headmaster Karleuša, who he hated very much. Dan was about to help his headmaster, but Ronnie Timbly appeared. Dan's father, Ronnie, followed Dan and was ready to kill him.
However, Ronnie, who was beaten by skinheads before, and tricked by Bovis Horvatinčić, realised he has a fishing rod as a fighting weapon instead of a sword. Sad, disappointed and angry Ronnie left the school, and said he'll come back. Dan was extremely happy, and after he came home from a party, he told everything to Lara Timbly.
===The Coherents X===
Tymerio, leader of ancient organization, once again appeared in Petronas, and was ready to finally destroy it.
Soon after, DEP Agency's leader Smith visited Dan and told him to go near Main Tower at the given time. Dan was bored and accepted the mission. He didn't know what the mission was about, although he thought it has to do something with The Coherents.
Soon, Dan was waiting for someone near the tower, and Santa Claus Bifsi II appeared. Since Dan and Bifsi had an argument in June, they started arguing again, and Dan soon attacked Bifsi. Bifsi then used his Claus Wand for the first time on Dan, and Dan was hurt.
Bifsi said that he's sorry, and Dan did the same. The two were once again good friends, and decided to visit Vlado Krklec and James Robinson. Near Vlado's house, the two bumped into the other part of the team. Dan was happy to see James and Vlado again, and soon went with James to a place near The Campanile.
Near The Campanile, Dan met Tomislav Jantol (who introduced himself as Thomas Jontral), his neighbour who got a Von Dolph house. After he heard that The Coherents will be fighting Tymerio "again", Dan was disappointed.
Soon, Dan, Tomislav and James split up. Dan told them to be on the Square of Dead Poets in one hour. After that, Dan went home, and he most likely watched TV. Soon, professor Vilušić came to talk to Dan, but rather insulted him. Dan then insulted his professor, and closed the doors.
Luckily, Tymerio, who teleported himself near Dan to hurt, or kill him, actually attacked Dan's professor, Vilušić, who later ended up in Petronas General Hospital. A bit later, Vlado Krklec visited Dan and was glad that Dan was okay, since Tymerio attacked him too and told him that he hurt Dan. Dan and Vlado then went to the Square of Dead Poets, and soon, James Robinson arrived. They still didn't know where Tomislav was (he was hurt by Tymerio).
Later, Santa Claus Bifsi II appeared, and the four discussed Tymerio's plan to attack Petronas City.
Soon, the four didn't know what to do, but Santa Claus Bifsi II told them to split up, because he had a plan. Dan was a bit angry, but went to his home to watch TV for 20 minutes. On his way home, he was thinking about entering Practice Arena, but thought that his Element Duel days were behind him. After some time, he re-united with Vlado Krklec and James Robinson. Soon, Santa appeared once again, and this time, Santa knew Tymerio's location.
The four then went near Petronas Cemetary, where they found Tymerio, who was ready to destroy Petronas, and his first Shadow Man. After Tymerio told The Coherents about his plan to destroy the city, Santa told him that he's already defeated, because he used his Claus Machine. Tymerio was sad, and Dan and his friends fought him.
Before dying, Tymerio used his ultimate power on James: he transported him to the Dark Dimension, and his friends thought he was dead.
After the battle, Dan had to talk with DEP Agency's leader, and told him that James was his friend, and he thought James was dead. He was sad because he didn't spend much time with James.
===Murder of Despair===
One morning, in October 2012, Dan was watching TV before going to school, about a young girl called Amanda, that was killed the day before. While Dan was watching TV, his mother entered the room, and asked him about Amanda. Dan told his mother that he sometimes saw Amanda in Tomislav Jantol High School.
After that, Dan went to the school. On his way, he saw a local bully, bullying a young student called Tommy. Dan wanted to stop the bullying, but the bully told Dan not to interrupt him. Dan was ready to fight the bully, but from the other side of the street, Leo Sparks, new student, arrived, and he beat up the bully, in front od Dan's eyes. Dan was impressed with Leo's fighting skills.
After the school, Dan and Leo were talking in Unfinished Tourist Attraction, and Dan was really happy that he met Leo, someone who was just like him. After Leo told Dan that he learned how to fight because he had the best trainers, Dan thought he trainer with best trainers as well.
Later, Dan went to his home, only to find his mother in a bad mad. He didn't know what's wrong, but soon, his grandfather appeared, meaning that he moved in. Dan was angry, because he never liked his grandfather.
===Helliar's Problem===
After Dan's friend, Santa Claus Bifsi II., ended up on a trial for young Amanda's death, Dan was there at the courtroom, sitting behind Santa.
===The Professor===
In early November 2012, Dan was, before his school, talking to his friends from class he didn't like. They were talking about professor Vilušić, who disappeared from Dan's school (he was attacked by Tymerio, who actually wanted to attack Dan). When Dan's "friend" told Dan that Santa Claus Bifsi II should've went to jail, and called him "old fucker", Dan was upset, because Bifsi was his friend.
Soon, in the school, Dan was invited by his headmaster Zuro Karleuša, to his office. In the office, Zuro was disappointed because Dan was hanging out with his friends from class. Zuro then asked Dan to keep an eye on Dan's new friend, who recently moved to Petronas City, soon before young Amanda's death, Leo Sparks, because Zuro believed Leo could've killed Amanda.
After the school, Dan talked to his friend Leo, and asked him about Amanda. Leo then asked Dan why is he asking about the dead girl, and Dan told him he has to do that for homework.
When Dan came home, he realised his mother was working, so he went to his room, only to find his grandfather, sleeping with hooker Ivana, who told Dan to join them. Few minutes after, Ivana left, and Dan talked to his grandfather. Dan told him that he never loved him much, because he wasn't a real grandfather.
Dan then went to Tabela Tabloit's building, only to ask Tabela about putting his grandfather at Tabela's building for old people. Dan was confused about Tabela's prices, but Tabela explained everything to Dan. Dan thought Tabela was a nice person, and told him that he has to talk to his mother about putting his grandfather at Tabela's place, and also told Tabela that if everyone was like him, the world would be a better place.
When Dan came home, he saw a priest from the church of St. Jantol, and his grandfather, talking. His grandfather called the priest to talk to Dan, and also told the priest lies about Dan. The priest recognized Dan from Element Duel World Tournament, and called him a "boy-fighter without a trainer". Dan then told his grandfather that he will give him one more chance.
Later, Leo visited Dan, and the two had fun. When Leo was leaving, the two saw Dan's missing professor, Vilušić, walking on the street, looking strange. Dan asked his professor where he was, and when professor didn't answer, and talked about killing the mayor, Dan told Leo to punch him once. Leo did so, and the professor became normal once again, and left the spot.
At night, Dan was in his room, and was visited by his mother, Lara, who verbally attacked him because of the lies she heard from Dan's headmaster and Dan's grandfather.
===Paranormal Science===
One day, in November 2012, when Dan left his school, Vlado Krklec was waiting for him. Vlado asked Dan about professors, and explained how he would like to become a math professor. Dan was confused, since he didn't know Vlado liked math. Dan then told Vlado to visit the new gymnasium, that he should try looking for a job there.
