## Biography

### Flashbacks

#### Pre-vampire life. 1900-1923

Daniel was born to a noble and rich family of Michael and Vanessa Gilbert and was their only child. Michael's grandfather was one of the founders of Ruby Creek. *Daniel's first name was actually Louis but he started using his midle name "Daniel" as the first one to hide the fact of his survival.*

During his late teenage years Daniel had had some gambling problems and was involved in questionable relationships with immoral women. When he turned 18 his father sent him to Washington so he could start his political career with the help of Michael's uncle who was an influentical person of the president Woodrow Wilson's circle. Anyway, Daniel couldn't care less about politics so all these fives years he had spent in Washington he was enjoying his freedom from his parents and worked part-time with papers in the City Hall. When his great-uncle found out that Daniel was taking money for making documents for criminals he kicked him out of the City Hall and thretened him to find a job or he'll ask his parents to disinherit him.

Daniel got a job as a waiter in a restaurant and continued to live his life until he met a beautiful woman Anne Lewis. She was a vampire and a refugee from Russia, where a revolution had recently taken place. Anne married an officer, Philip Lewis, a year ago, and had not stop flitting from one influential society to another. Daniel served her in the restaurant he used to work in. When he noticed that she left her gloves on the table he run to her car and brought them back to her. She thanked him and kissed his cheek. He didn't know that it was her plan to draw his attention and make him fall for her. Soon after this they became lovers and in 1923 she turned him into a vampire.

When Anne's husband learned about their affair he chained them both in the basement of the brothel they used to sleep in and burned it. When Daniel woke up he found himself outside of the burning brothel. An old man stood over him and said that he came to the basement because he heard a woman screaming. When he wanted to unchain them both she asked to save Daniel because she wouldn't be able to bring him out herself. Unfortunately she the exit was blocked and she cound't escape and was burned alive. Daniel was heartbroken. Little did he knew that Anne survived and took Dan outside of the burning building. After this she compelled a random man outside ot the burning building to tell Daniel that he saved him and she died. She left the city as soon as she could after making sure Daniel was fine.

He knew he couldn't stay in Washington anymore because Philip Lewis was an influential person and everyone he met there already knew about his affair with his wife. When Daniel came back to Ruby Creek, the minute he stepped on the porch he was shot into back by his own father. Turned out, the Gilbert family had already had a history with vampires and killed every single vampire who stepped into their town. Michael's uncle knew about vampires too and as soon as learned about him having an affair with a vampiress he wrote his parents a letter, saying that she probably already turned him into a "monster". Father was torturing him but Daniel could escape and hadn't returned to Ruby Creek for many years. Michael pronounced Daniel dead soon after he escaped. Vanessa was heartbroken and couldn't forgive her husband for hating their own son. Three years later Vanessa died, she was only 48 years old. Michael died in 1959. He stayed the member of the Council and kept his hatered for vampires till his death.

#### Relationship with Vera Delgado. 1979-1998

Daniel met Vera in 1979 when she haunted him down in San Francisco. It was his very first encounter with a vampire huntress who was actually a vampire herself. Even though she didn't have a single good feeling for him because he killed innocent people before, later she fell for his charm and let him go. He kept bothering her and asking to tell him about her ideology and finally she told him her story. He wanted to try to be a vampire hunter too and they started travelling together through the USA. They had two peaceful years together and no doubts they were in love.

In 1991 Daniel was almost killed by a vampire who turned out to be Paolo Rivera, an old and a very strong vampire and a vampire hunter. Vera finally decided to tell Daniel that she's actually being haunted too by him since 1600s and that he's actually her husband. It was a turning point of their relationship. There were no peace for them ever since but they still were together.

After their first encounter with Paolo they escaped to north and spent a couple of years in Canada. When they returned they met Paolo again and decided it had to end. In 1994 they met Darren Newman. He told them that he had friends among vampire hunters and he could help them to kill Paolo. When everything was almost ready Daniel got jelous of Vera talking about Paolo in a good way. She hoped him to change and was really sorry that he got obsessed with her to the point he spent all there centuries as a vampire just to get her. Dan and Vera had a lot of fights. One day she decided to get closer and talk to Paolo. He lied to her about him still loving her and wishing to be together. Vera jeopardised the operation but Paolo was finally killed by Daniel who almost died. Vera and Dan moved to New Orleans.

In 1998 Daniel met Anne again. It was painful for him because all these years he blamed himself because she could be alive if she didnt ask the man to save him first. He confronted her and accused her of lying to him and leaving him. He was sure all his old feelings erased but suddenly they had a moment and he kissed her. Daniel told Vera about it. He thought she took it coldly but she seemed a little weird. Next day Vera killed Anne infront of him. She told him that she lost almost twenty years with him when she could kill more vampires for this time. Daniel freaked out and gripped her neck and she cut his arm off with a machete she grabbed behind her. Vera escaped and he hadn't seen her for many years.

#### Council member. 1999-2010

After the murder of his first love and the escape of his wife Daniel did not reflect for a long time and almost immediately went into all serious. In 1999 he came back to his hometown, Ruby Creek. He compelled the Council that he was a decedent of the Parkers and had a right to be a member of the Council. Nobody really ubderstood why he was a member but took it as a fact. For almost five years he hadn't do anything as a Council member and in 2004 had left to New York where he spend some time with Frank Anderson and William Freeman. In 2005 he came to New Orleans and met Darren again. They were each others' wingmen and got to be really good friends. In 2009 Darren met Dylan Eisenberg who was a math teacher in Stanford University. Darren went to California with him so Daniel decided to come back to Ruby Creek and resume his job as a Council member.

Unfortunately for him, when he got back it turned out that all the Council members used vervain and were good aware of vampire threat. Council took him back but Daniel was shocked to meet a new Council member - his cousin, Paul, who was actually his nephew. Turned out, when Daniel's father was 84 he married a 35 years old woman who used to work with him - she was writing his memoire. In 1955 they had a son, Ethan. Ethan got married and his son, Paul, was born in 1983. All the Gilbert family moved from Ruby Creek to Columbus, Ohio in 1992 when Paul's mother died from cancer. Paul came to Ruby Creek in 2007 after graduating from the University.

As soon as Daniel and Paul got to be alone Paul confronted him and said he knew what is actually were. He said that he was surprised when he came back and the Council members started asking him about his cousin Daniel who he never met. Turned out, the Gilberts kept their deal in fighting the vampires so Paul knew what he had to do. He taught the Council to be on their guard and be always ready to fight a vampire. Dan thought Paul wanted to kill him but Paul said that as a vampire Dan could be useful but only if he stayed still and wouldn't make a mess he made when it was a member from 1999 to 2004. Paul added that it was actually nice to meet a member of his family because his father was always cold and he dreamed about having a brother.

### Phase 1

The first phase of the actual story starts for Daniel from fighting for the membership in the town Council. Dan had never took this job seriously but when he learned that his newphew Paul turned the whole Council against vampires he took this personally and decided to prove his own execellence. Paul's rule for Dan was "no vampires in Ruby Creek". Anyway, when he was bying the mansion he lived in he met a real estste agent Rose Lang whose younger sister Daisy was a vampire. When Dan met her he liked her attitude and started teaching her how not to be caught but each time they hanged out together she jeopardize herself and the vampire community of Ruby Creek.

Dan became a good friend of Rose and Daisy and had invited Rose to family dinners with Paul and other members of the Council. Dan didn't like Rose's boyfriend, Albert Lieberman, but he respected her choice.

Dan was really heartbroken when Daisy died after being bitten by werewolf Miles Howard on June 20, 2013.

On July 5, 2013, when pregnant Rose got into a car accident, Daniell saved her and healed her with his blood. Anyway, she died during the c-section and became a vampire.

Dan tried to save his friends during the sacrifice on May 5, 2015, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't bury vampire's bodies and hid them in dugeon unser the town Council. Dan met Orenda when she came to his house.

Dan and Paul tried to find a way to bring the vampires back to life while Orenda was walking down the town trying to make people believe she was a goddess. It was a good thing that she was polite and never hurt anyone so they had some time before she played a local crazy woman. Paul really liked Orenda's humble attitude but Daniel said they both were crazy. Anyway, Paul's good relationship was useful for their mission. Leslie Gatwa learned that all the vampires' powers were inside of Orenda and that she had to put her into sleep and take the powers from her and bring them to the vampires who had been in the Unside-down world all the time. Paul decieved Orenda and put her to sleep and Leslie could resurrect all the vampires except Yvette Chamberlain because Orenda suddenly woke up and was really angry. Anyway she lost almost all her powers and escaped.

Dan and Yvie have always shared the same sarcastic vibe but were never close. Dan called Yvie “Kiwi” when they met for the first time and this nickname stuck with her. When he learned who was her mother (they worked at the town hall together), he told her who was her father and introduced them to each other.
