## Appearances

### Portrayed by

Daniel

Dan is an un-aligned resident of East, temporarily living in a house with Jas. He does not spend a lot of time in his town, however, and frequently makes trips to interact with other towns

## Personality

During diplomatic and casual interactions, he can manage to maintain a very solid, empathetic, and understanding demeanor. As soon as the curtains drop, however, he comes off as crazy, frantic, and manipulative. A recurring theme within Dan's trips is a peaceful, formal welcome, an informal transition, and closes on a violent attempt to seize what he wants.

## History

### Attempted Mugging at South

His first major appearance in Altaria's scene was a self-described "diplomatic trip" to find Logun and Jack, accompanied by Cal as an escort. In order to preserve secrecy, they had gone through the Nether in an attempt to get to South and lose their trail. Upon arriving at West, the two jumped into the portal and attempted to catch the secretive duo's trail. The trip was a disaster. Monsters ambushed the two and through an accidental flail of a sword, Dan came into possession of a skull. Upon request from Cal, he tossed it to him and within seconds of contact, Cal became dizzy and wandered off the fortress, burning himself badly on a thin shallow pool of lava The skull was destroyed.

Dan finished the trip alone, finding his way to South and meeting up with Logun and Jack. He prefaced the meeting with a request to outlaw the *skulls* from Altaria altogether. Afterwards, he attempted to persuade Jack to hand over his journal. After attempting to devise a plan with Logun to steal it (to which Logun refused to partake in), Dan attempted a violent mugging on Jack after stealing Logun's armor. It ultimately failed, with Logun tossing a bucket of molten lava, forcing Dan to take off the melting armor and flee the scene, stealing Jack's horse and leaving to West.

### Attempted Slavery

The next day, Dan made a trip to West to "apologize" to Logun and West's residents for the previous incident. They talk about the *skulls* and a possible plan to contain one at each town in order to preserve the artifact's significance. Dan nods his head and leads Logun away from the meeting. Thinking that they were alone, he draws a crossbow and threatens Logun with death unless he signs a 4 page contract, signing away his individuality and rights. Fortunately for Logun, Blake had snuck up on the two and protected Logun. After a bit, William joined the trio and after a frantic attempt to convince Blake to join him in enslaving Logun, remarking about a stronghold and the ability to become Gods, he made his case for why Logun needs to be enslaved.

### The Skull's Vision

Dan claimed to William and Blake that upon touching one of the *skulls,* he saw a vision— a future where Jack and Logun are directly responsible for the decay of the world. His spiel was vague but his intentions were clear: Logun needs to be locked away in a dungeon without access to any possibility of influencing the outside world. He claims that his previous attempts to seize the journal / convince the Shaman to stop non-consensual testing was apart of his plan to ensure that his vision does not become true. His attempts to outlaw the skulls also fall into that same "plan of action" he has. After a "peaceful" pull-away, Daniel took refuge in Blake's house/pub, with Logun currently being protected by William.
