*"I know most people in the States don't like us. Call us vigilantes. But it's really about patriotism and vigilance. The coloreds, the hijabs, the natives.... they're nothing in this country! This is our world! My world! Nothing's going to stop us from protecting America from immigration, bounty hunter!" -* Stillman's speech to Mordecai upon capturing him

Lieutenant **Daniel Stillman III** (known as Lt. Stillman) is one of the main antagonists in the Canon series of the Reboot timeline.

Stillman is a former Army officer and leader of his own army of border vigilantes and is shown to be the main antagonist of the "Soldier" chapter.

## Background

Born on July 4, 1983, Daniel Stillman III was born into a racist household with his father (Daniel Stillman Junior) raising him to be like him.

Since his father was a Texas Ranger, Daniel was taught how to fight and use weapons, earning his father's respect. By the time when he reached 18, Daniel joined the United States Army and worked his way up to become a Lieutenant.

During his tour in Afghanistan, Daniel and his unit were ambushed, causing him to end up being injured by shrapnel in his left eye during the attack, putting him on leave. Because of his injury, Daniel became religious upon finding a Bible and began to twist it into his mindset. Later, he was dishonorably discharged from the Army due to both his mental state and the fact that he unwittingly killed his commanding officer for speaking blasphemy.

After getting out of prison, Daniel joined a militia force of border vigilantes due to the fact that their leader knew his father. However, Daniel took over the group when their leader was imprisoned and later killed. Knowing that he got a purpose, Daniel began to launch a holy crusade against immigrants near the border, having captured, killed, and robbed them whenever he saw them in his sights.

He also began to recruit disenfranchised young people (age 16+), orphans (that he either made purposely or found them and kidnap them from orphanages via bribery or brute force), and former veterans with similar philosophies like him and trained them brutally to become hardened killers loyal to the militia.

## Biography

Daniel Stillman is introduced when his militia came across a Mexican family and Daniel killed both a pregnant woman and a teenage boy after making his speech about vigilance and how immigrants tried to take away his country.

He is seen again when his group shot down a helicopter and captured Mordecai. As Mordecai was tied up in an interrogation room, Daniel talks to him about his appearance and claims that he is a traitor to the country before revealing his true motives and taking off his glasses, revealing his deeply scarred eye from Afghanistan to Mordecai before claiming that he's saving America by killing or capturing immigrants to protect his people. When Mordecai refuses, Daniel orders the operators to be killed and tells Mordecai that he got something special for him before angrily walking away.

However, Daniel began to hide as Mordecai escaped and fought against his group. Knowing that there's no escape, Daniel chose to fight Mordecai and despite getting the upper hand, Daniel overstepped his boundaries by making a monologue, resulting in his untimely demise by Mordecai, who took advantage of his blind side.

## Personality

In his first appearance and judging by his gruff and brooding demeanor, Stillman is shown to be a callous, ruthless, merciless, and cold-hearted individual who's willing to kill immigrants and anyone who is a threat to his goals. Throughout his campaign of fear against immigration, Stillman has no qualms about torturing or killing innocents, even women, and children as shown when he coldly killed both a pregnant Mexican woman and her teenage son, showcasing his cold-blooded and cruel nature.

Unlike most villains, Stillman is revealed to be extremely xenophobic, racist, and jingoistic, believing that the United States has turned weak and showing strong prejudice against African-Americans, Jews, homosexuals, and other minorities and admitted that he saw them as cancerous deviants needed to be eliminated. Given his speeches and his belief that he is protecting America by using brutality, Stillman is truly shown to be mentally and morally unstable and fanatically patriotic to an extent. It's later revealed that his xenophobic views most likely stemmed from his background (having been raised in a racist and patriotic household) and his time in Iraq/Afghanistan where he sustained his eye injury.

He is also shown to be fanatically religious, having his own twisted interpretation of Christianity, having believed that he is God and that he was given the path and that killing anyone of race, color, and gender is cleansing and redemption, truly revealing his insane and racist nature and that he is more than willing to commit mass genocide for his own goals.

Despite his brutal and racist nature, Stillman (in his final moments before dying) is shown to have cowardly tendencies by trying to convince Mordecai to leave and even killing his own men with an IED as a last resort when his deals fall on deaf ears, despite having no mercy towards the people he killed and was willing to torture Mordecai for trying to stop him, revealing his hypocritical and desperate side in contrast with his cold-blooded demeanor.

Despite being a coward, Stillman became more and more unhinged and desperate, as shown when he aggressively attacks Mordecai in H2H as he claimed that he's protecting America and will never let immigrants take over his country, ultimately revealing that Stillman has finally cracked and shown his true colors as an extremely brutal, sadistic, and racist man who has no qualms about murdering immigrants (innocent or not) just to protect the United States.

Because of that, Stillman has led himself to his well-deserved downfall and eventual demise at the hands of the man that rightfully called him out for his lies.

## Appearance

Stillman is an American man, standing at 5'11 (180.34 cm). He is shown with graying black medium-length hair, dark blue eyes (one of them is deeply scarred from Afghanistan), weathered skin, and cleanly shaven.

In his first appearance, Stillman wore a black leather jacket, a gray shirt, dark blue jeans, brown boots, and a white 10-gallon hat with gold campaign cords. He also wore tinted aviators.

## Skills

* **High Intelligence**: Stillman (despite his insanity) was very methodical and direct with his goals, having set up his compound far, but not too far, from the border of Texas to catch any immigrant in his sights. He also managed to use his charisma and his speeches to encourage orphans, veterans, and disenfranchised young men into joining his army and managed to convince several politicians to join his cause, practically making him slightly untouchable.
* **Intimidation**: Stillman used his speeches and fighting skills to gain power/control over his militia and against any threat trying to take out the militia. He's known for capturing and torturing immigrants and sending them back to Mexico, horrified.
* **Master Tactician**: As a former Army Lieutenant, Stillman is highly capable of planning out and executing plans step-by-step. He is a very effective leader and mentor, having led and trained orphaned kids, former veterans, and disenfranchised young men to accomplish his goals. He also set up a IED as a last resort.
* **Connections**: While it's not shown, it's hinted that Stillman was slightly untouchable in Texas due to the fact that his army has an unknown amount of money to pay off their politicians in order to continue their crimes.
* **Master Marksman**: Stillman (despite being half-blind) is shown to be a proficient marksman, having used his Colt 1911 pistol to precisely kill or injure an unknown number of people, notably killing a family with his sidearm without hesitation.
* **Master Martial Artist**: Stillman is shown to be a skilled H2H fighter, having the capability to stand his ground against Mordecai, who's more bigger and skilled than him. Having been in the Army, Stillman was trained and skilled in Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, Wrestling, and Kali.

## Equipment

* **Colt M1911A1**: Stillman's main sidearm. He notably used the pistol to execute 2 innocents and to knock Mordecai out. The Colt 1911 is a genuine Colt M1911A1, which is nickel-plated, has ivory grips, Novak sights, and a compensator.

## Deaths

**Murders committed by Daniel:**

## Trivia

* Given his jingoistic and xenophobic traits, willingness to kidnap and abuse orphans to mold them into hardened killers upon reaching 18, and his violent acts against foreigners and his own citizens, Stillman is considered by most people, including Mordecai himself, to be the most horrible person that ever lived when he was still alive.
* With the exception of Donald Piper, Stillman is the most racist antagonist to date before his death.
* Like most of the antagonists, Stillman was ex-military and is revealed to sustain an injury during a tour.
