Daniel is an incredibly bad liar. However, the events of *Titan's Run* make him an impeccable one.

### Medicine

Daniel's theme is **medicine**. Medicine can be both productive and destructive, with the power to *heal* and the power to *kill*.

### Asclepius

Daniel carries within him the spirit of the *oracle*: born via cesarean section, plagued by prophetic dreams and gifted with the ability to heal. See freckles on his face, made in the pattern of the constellation Ophiuchus.

From a journal entry:

> *Spirit of the Oracle. Oh, boy. I like Daniel a lot. He's, like, the type of dude you know you could depend on. Funnily enough, this has happened countless times. Tim started it all. He was stupid but I THOUGHT HE WAS COOL SO I WANTED TO BE HIS FRIEND. So fucking STUPID. Either way, those feelings resulted in Tim the character, who was the most sidekick-like dude in the entire story. Daniel came from Tim, and he's sort of been the same idea ever since. Still a rule-follower. Still a friend. You have been Apollo, Hermes, and now Asclepius - chill dudes who know shit about medicine, art, and people skills. Perfect? Left over - to be the foundation that Sam and Jack have needed since the beginning; to show his family how much they mean to him, both the Beyonders and his Lucy and Kailee.*

### ISTJ-A

Daniel keeps his word, whatever he promises; he is astounded by those who do not follow through with their promises. He doesn't like having to rely on others' sense of responsibility and thus prefers to work alone or at least have his hierarchy clearly established. "Combining laziness and dishonesty is the quickest way to get on ISTJs’ bad side." He has a "passion for duty, dependability and impeccable personal integrity." (16 Personalities)

He listens well to his intuition. Always honest (he's a bad liar). Has always wanted to be a dad to a handful of children.
