**Daniel Elahi** is **Discovery Yellow**, the Yellow Ranger of the Discovery Rangers. A former British Army Lieutenant, he is a high-ranking Discovery Corps operative with excellent combat skills, as well as the oldest and most experienced member of the team at 29 years old, and is at times considered its unofficial leader. He previously served as first lieutenant to Anton Baxter on the Isis III mission.

He is also referred to as **Yellow Discovery Ranger** - a variation of his label in the show.

## Personality

Daniel's initial personality and character traits can be traced back to his time in the military and service in Iraq. He is disciplined, cool-headed and reasonable, and values the rules of the Discovery Corps, taking his role as a high-ranking operative extremely seriously. He is very loyal to Commander Burnham and does not waste time, always expecting the other members of the group to comply with the Commander's orders. Because of these traits, he is mostly considered by the closest individual to a leader.

Daniel's straightforward and by-the-book nature often clashes with Michael's rash, ideological, and sometimes reckless nature, and he does not wish to recognise Michael as a leader because of his idealism. Multiple notable examples of this is when he disagreed that Michael should keep the Gorilla upgrade to his Ranger form amid the surging Rindesythir within its energy, and when he refused to allow Michael to fight Xenu alone. Despite their differences, the two have formed a slightly uneasy but respect-based relationship, taking tactical suggestions from each other in the field.

Daniel initially did not trust Jimmy or Erin, nor think of them capable of being effective teammates when it was decided they would be joining the Isis III mission, even after they became Rangers. Daniel would initially order them both to return to the base when a Disciple was enlarged, but has since at least shown to at least consider the two rookies as important members of the team. Even though he would begin to accept them both as they would "complete" their training through their exploits with Xenu, Daniel would still not trust them in extreme situations. Another instance of his distrustfulness is when Lester admitted that he wanted to become a Ranger himself.

* **Instinct Slash:** After pressing the trigger on the Primal Defender to charge up its energy, Daniel and the other Rangers transform into a giant claw which slashes the opponent. During the fight with the Generation 9 Stormbreaker, Daniel performed an alternate version with Laura where an aura resembling a beast's fangs manifests around the opponent and chomps the opponent as the two rangers first perform a jumping downward stab followed by a lateral slash.
* **Mega Instinct Blast:** After pressing the trigger on the Primal Defender to charge up its energy, Daniel shoots a spinning cube shaped energy blast, similar to the Primal Defender's normal projectile but larger and more solid.
