## Background

### Early Life

Daniel Lamb was born on May 29th, 1963  and lived in San Fierro, San Andreas until he graduated from University of San Fierro in 1985 with a degree in biochemistry. A year later, he found work as lab technician for Green and Becker Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and worked there for three years. In 1989, he became a research associate for McKenzie Druchner Inc. until he begun working for the Pickman Project.

Daniel is shown to be a very skilled fighter and grabbler; it is most likely that Danny took interest in fighting and wrestling during his childhood or young adult years due to harsh social environments, or to simply have the ability to defend himself in physical battle.

At some point before 2006, Daniel became one of the top scientists for a organization called "The Project" and invented a drug called Cortexa, and is a employee of the "Pickman Project", a government-sponsored weapons program involving brainwashing and mind control techniques to create artificial personalities implanted into the human brain. Daniel eventually got married and had two kids, a girl and a boy, but at some point went into great debt and volunteered for an experiment, which his wife disapproved of.

With the Project's funds under threat, Daniel volunteered himself to test the "Pickman Bridge", hoping that the resulting payoff would allow him to clear his family's debts and provide a financially secure future. However, the Bridge malfunctioned soon after it was implanted, causing Daniel to suffer from dissociative identity disorder, resulting in him being able to directly communicate with the implanted personality, who he perceives as a real person, Leo Kasper, who would be taking over Daniel's mind later on due to the mistake the Project made during the development.

## Events of *Manhunt 2*

### 2006

In May 2006 , in the same night of the Project's failed Pickman Bridge experiment, Daniel (being controlled by Leo) wanted the Pickman Bridge removed so that he can fully control Daniel. He first threatens Daniel's close friend Michael Grant to do so. Daniel (being controlled by Leo) kills Michael and many of the Project Militia who arrived to kill Daniel because Leo is out of control.

Leo decides to get revenge, so he convinces Daniel to kill Stanley Grex, the main source of funding for the Pickman Project research. Leo locates Grex at the Maibatzu Plaza around 9:32pm of that night  with a Sniper Rifle and later destroy their records so they can disappear. Leo then takes control and makes Daniel kill his own wife and is then locked away in Dixmor Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

### 2012

Six years after the incident, a severe thunderstorm causes the Dixmor Hospital security system at the asylum to momentarily go offline, opening the cell doors throughout the facility, resulting in the populace wandering freely through the corridors. Daniel is disoriented and partly amnesiac, unable to remember how or why he came to Dixmor. Under Leo's guidance, they escape the facility and make their way to the ruins of Daniel's old home. Inside, Daniel recovers medication which Leo says he left there for himself in the event of him forgetting the past. The medication helps to clear his head somewhat, and he begins to remember fragments of his former life. He and Leo then set out to unravel the secrets of Daniel's past, all the while pursued by bounty hunters and agents of the Project.

Eventually, Daniel learns that he was once a top scientist in the employ of the Pickman Project. The Project's goal was to create the perfect assassin; to accomplish this, they developed the "Pickman Bridge", a brain implant containing the personality and skills of a trained assassin which could be activated on command. In theory, the two personalities could co-exist in the same mind, completely unaware of one another. The idea was that the assassin could be remotely triggered, carry out his mission, and then revert to the original persona, who would have no memory of what he had just done, hence would be immune to interrogation.

As Daniel puts the clues together and begins to remember more of his past, he and Leo set out to find Dr. Whyte, a Project researcher and one of Daniel's co-workers. However, before they can get to her, they are ambushed and sedated. Daniel wakes up in a room with Whyte, who reveals the truth to him. Whyte explains that Leo is dangerously unstable, and has been working against Daniel from the very beginning.

Whyte reveals that, after the implant malfunctioned, Leo's personality asserted itself, suppressing Daniel's own, and he went on a rampage across the city, murdering police officers and members of the Project, destroying the Project's records of Daniel and himself, and finally making his way to Daniel's household and killing his wife. His goal was to weaken Daniel's grip on reality to the point where Leo could take complete control of his mind. However, the Project caught Daniel/Leo after the murder, erased his memory, torched his house, and had him committed to Dixmor, where they had been working to study the effects of the implant and repair the damage, without success. Upon learning the truth, Daniel determines that he must destroy Leo once and for all. He enters a deep hypnotic state and faces off against Leo within the confines of his own mind. He is finally able to let go of the guilt he feels over his wife's death, allowing him to "kill" Leo and assert control.

Having done so, Daniel awakens on a deserted road with his memory erased once more. He is holding an envelope informing him that his name is "David Joiner", providing him with a new home address at 526 Hope Street, Apartment B, and wishing him luck. Daniel briefly hesitates before walking away.
