Daniel

# **About**

Daniel was a previous Special Agent and current Police investigator employed by the government, he is seen working alongside Craig and Duff on multiple instances, also investigating into Ey and the Red Line however keeping it to themselves. He used to hide from the police after a Daily Express scandal however he was forgiven and now works as a normal investigator.

Daniel's first apperance was during an investigation into a previous Richmond Inc owned building. He investigated the abandoned building together with Craig, which also makes it Craig's first apperance.

He had a divorced wife and a 12 year old son, who seemed to be the only people he cared about aside from Craig. Daniel does not seem to be a very social man often only writing and doing his job. However the encounter with Ey had given him emotion again.

Daniel was one of the first responders to the June Goldencity Massacre which he with another officer, covered up. The shooter, an anti-american, shoot multiple people. Daniel and the other mentioned officer, burnt the protest scenes and replaced them with fake ones as to make it appear that the shooter had shot up an anti-american protest.

Around late october and early december, Daniel got involved in the globe cultist investigation and his life was forever changed. After being ratted out by the globe cultists about the June Goldencity Massacre coverup and hunted by the police, he got a new identity and moved to a house in Mullcreek.

# **Personality**

Daniel is insanely hard working and never gives up. This shows as one of his biggest blows was losing his job as a special agent and even then he still kept investigating the things he was prior. He is very talented at his job and is extremely smart. Often he figures out things that would require an entire team working for months to complete. Daniel is however on edge a lot as his life has been ruined after his first Red Line intereactions.

After the murder of his ex-wife and son, the losing of his job and the forceful isolation and hiding from the police, he became incredibly careless and a husk of his prior self. Daniel stopped entirely doing small fun things like going on coffee breaks with Craig and instead dedicated his life to his work. This made him very good at his work however at the cost of his social skills and human interaction. As what he cared most about had been taken away from him, he made no effort to combat his negative feelings and instead ignored them as he went after the people that specifically did that to him.

Despite him seeming careless, his anger can shine through him sometimes. When he is fighting with Georg on a train, his anger increases as Georg taunts him for not being able to save his son. Daniel kills Georg on that train along side every other red line member. During a confrontation with the mentally disturbed Frederick Lampton, Daniel gets so fed up with not getting answers out of him that he beats him which on top of Frederick's prior damage, kills him.

# **Childhood**

Daniel was born on April 9th 1967 and was raised in Peer, Origin.

# **Red Line investigation**

Daniel first hears of the Red Line when Fred was investigating a possible AOS, however it turns out to be a trap set up by the Red Line. The old man who called Fred explains that the Red Line had kidnapped him and forced him to help them. Daniel brings the old man back to the police station where he explains that they were threatening him with his son's life. This is the first time Daniel figures out about the Red Line.

During his investigation into the Red Line, his higher up was suddenly replaced with Georg who quickly became friendly with Daniel. They both started talking but Daniel never felt like Georg was entirely friendly. Georg in an effort to try to get Daniel to drop the case on Red Line, called him to stop looking into it. Daniel refused and Georg broke into the home of Daniel's ex wife and murdered her alongside Daniel's son.

During a mission at night, Daniel goes on a train to another location but it ends up being a trap as Red Line members start attacking him. Daniel sees that the train drivers are gone and gets on top of the train. He then battles it out with some more Red Line members before meeting Georg himself. He then gets shot by Georg and is almost killed but Georg gets hit by a sign and falls backwards. He then pleads for his life but Daniel pushed him off the train to his death.

A leaked image of Philip got into the hands of Craig who managed to find where the image was taken by looking at the background. It was traced back to a water treatment facility in Feng and Daniel decides to investigate for himself. He sneaks into the facility which is being used by the Red Line as a hideout and storage for weapons and bombs. Daniel sneaks through the facility before accidentally alerting the members and they lock him in one of the water containers and then proceed to fill the container up with electrified water. Daniel barely manages to escape but does so and finds and frees Philip as the container blows up.

Craig gives Daniel intel on a red line hideout centered around a vehicle graveyard. Craig and Daniel go out themselves alone in secret and find red line members burrying their dead members, most likely from the attack at the water treatment facility. Craig ends up getting spotted and a fight ensues. Daniel manages to hold out long enough for Craig to steal a van and they both flee in said van. On the road, they are chased by the red line in vehicles who Daniel manages to fight off with a machine gun from the back of the van.

# **Globe cultist investigation**

Daniel has been investigating the globe cultists case for a long time and has encountered such cases multiple times. One time when Daniel was investigating an office which owner had claimed to see Ey, the town suddenly began attacking eachother leading to multiple deaths. Daniel also found scribbles and drawings of Ey on the walls. He later was investigating a shipwreck where drawings of Ey and a person who had commmited suicide could be found.

After Duff found Mark Tupraz's corpse in Retuff, he called Daniel to help investigate since he thought it was connected to the globe cultist. They concluded it was indeed connected. The following day they track someone down on a boat who is possibly related. Daniel also figures out what the last phone call made to Mark's phone was and shows it to Duff. Duff is then confronted by a man who later turns out to be a corpse who has been dead for a long time. Stunned, they both search his room to find a folder of content.

A day later they arrive at a bar in Retuff to see the folder's content. Daniel could only make so much out of it however claimed he found a newspaper in Brazil which related to Mark's metal company. Duff brings up strange wall writing he found and Daniel figures out it is in reference to the 6 people that originally died in Seadale.

Duff traces the e-mail back to an apartment which they investigate and find a note talking about someone named Lemut. Duff says that the Retuff prison had someone called Lemut taken in recently and they head to the prison. Inside the prison, Daniel tries to talk to Lemut but soon figures out that he is hallucinating as the walls turn to flesh. He then disappears and Duff tells Daniel that Lemut died in prison 2 days earlier.

Daniel gets a call about possible globe cultist activity in Park Alon and drives there. He talks to residents who leads him to Frederick Lampton's trailer house which is completely trashed. Daniel notices Frederick's drawings and reads them. He tries to piece together the meaning with a local resident before driving off to investigate further. He gets told by a man that he works at a grocery store in Retuff which Daniel drives to. He finds Frederick who attempts to flee but is stopped when Daniel shoots him in the leg. Daniel gets mad at Frederick and beats him. He is brought to a hospital and Daniel and Duff attempts to understand him before he dies.

A week later in his house in Union, Daniel has an attempt on his life by Azure, a globe cultist who was sent to kill him after he followed him home and stalked him. PENIS lies about being a real estate agent and is let in my Daniel. Azure walks around for a bit before planning to kill Daniel via a knife. He barely gets spotted first time but second time gets a few swings at Daniel before leaving in his car. He is then taken by police but is quickly released due to the globe cultist covering up the murder quickly.

Daniel gets taken to the hospital only to get another attempt on his life by Wheeler who was posing as Union hospital staff and attempted to overdose Daniel but gets spotted. He then attempts to soffucate him with a pillow before a fight breaks out between Wheeler and hospital staff. During this, Craig comes in and takes away Daniel after seeing the gun Wheeler is carrying. They make it out and into a motel where Wheeler attempts to kill them both but is shot to death by Craig. Daniel survives as Azure missed his throat and hit his shoulder.

Daniel gets called by Duff to Agane City where a dismembered leg was found. They both see two globe cultist drawings showcasing future events that will happen in Park Alon and Retuff respectfully. Daniel suggests that they could figure out when some of them would happen as there was an advertisement in one of the drawings of the Retuff trainstation which doesn't actually exist yet. Duff ties a drawing of a signal from saturn back to the Unity Research Center and they both head off.

While Duff talks to Cornelius, Daniel is ordered by Duff to talk to a man who was injured when a truck carrying the finished model of the unknown material from the unknown crashed satellite, crashed with the man as the driver. Daniel is unable to get anything out of the driver as he is very disturbed and reports back to Duff. Daniel then gets called about an explosion in a police station housing the unknown materials from the satellite crash. He heads off onto the other police station housing the material aswell as he thinks it may be an attack by the globe cultist.

Weeks later Daniel is handling a random unrelated case when Craig comes in and tells Daniel to follow him. He shows Daniel a Daily Express article which explains that a police database leak has exposed the June Goldencity Massacre as a cover-up. Daniel is shown in one of the leaked images and he slightly panics. They both hide inside a public bathroom where another newspaper explains that one of the officers at the scene of the mass shooting has been arrested. Daniel tries to find a way out of Goldencity as he is being stalked by both the ODU and globe cultists. Craig comes with a bus and they both escape out the city.

Daniel stays in exile as he continues to investgate the globe cultist. He eventually finds strange activity in Retuff and alerts Duff. Daniel watches over Duff as he attempts to investigate Retuff but is unable to get further into the island. After Duff steals an envelope from the cultists, Daniel figures out that a train with supplies including firearms and other things is heading for Retuff. Daniel suggests they need to stop or halt the train.

Daniel tells Duff to quickly head to Retuff due to some activity he had noticed there. He also sends information to the police containing all information he has on the globe cultists. Duff heads there and finds Retuff in a bad state with fighting among military personal and globe cultists. Daniel watches as Duff makes his way to the hotel in Retuff and to the top floor. Daniel leaves meanwhile and manages to sneak onto a military truck heading to Retuff from Union. He gets onto the hotel and breaks the window, shooting Comet and Azure. He then helps Duff and throws a grenade, killing Comet and blowing up the machine, which sends them both flying. However they land on a truck full of mattresses and survives.

With Comet now defeated, Daniel decides to stay at Mullcreek but also decides to pick back up his job as he is now largely forgiven. He picks up his old car from Craig, who had been holding it for him. He then heads back to Mullcreek and talks to Sean a bit before deciding that he will take a vacation to get some time off.

# **Observer related activity**

After Daniel moves into Mullcreek, he learns that a fog had began to emerge in the area (Similar to Jeville), and that some "odd things" had happened around the area. He had a close encounter with an observer moving past his house, after a plane had crashed on a highway to Union.

He experiences Observer activity while living in Mullcreek and is questioned by Jack about it. A day later, Daniel is requested to leave to Guardian by the ODU but escaped from the evacuation bus and manages to hide as he was still hiding from police.

Smith briefly arrives at his house to check the fog.

# **Civil-War**

Daniel was woken up late at night in his at the time house in Union, on the first night of the Civil-War. A real estate agent was to evaluate his house but they were interrupted by sounds of gunfire. After getting informed of the ongoing situation, Daniel fled Union to help out elsewhere.

Daniel was seen with Craig in Nester, one of Monroe's safe zones, to destroy and remove criber nests.
