Physical Description: A man who's physical fitness is clear, Daniel is a muscular and tall man who's pale skin betrays his Irish descent. He has a pair of black-feathered wings tattooed onto his back as part of a drunken dare from his military days.
Personality: Cool and calm to a fault with a somewhat dark sense of humour Daniel has yet to find a challenge he could rise to. Following his Royal Marine training his mental strength is almost unbreakable against elements and against a foul enemy. Years of experience dealing with TEMPLARS' prey has made him a dangerous foe to non-humans who he has learned to despise with a bile-like hatred, not to mention it was a vampire that butchered his unit. Daniel is extremely loyal to those fighting beside him and will do anything to see them get home safely, priding himself to be an open ear when needed.

Personal History: Born in Armagh, Northern Ireland, Daniel was an adventurous and intelligent child. In school he took up a number of extra-curricular sports and lessons to further his learning. Upon the age of eighteen Daniel decided to join the Royal Marines as an officer for the sense of adventure and challenges that lay within the Corps. He took part in a number of operations from both Naval Deployments and within the Middle East where he gained a hefty knowledge of combat experience. Daniel's first encounter with the supernatural would be when his unit was scourging a cave complex for Taliban fighters when instead they came across a lone vampire. Unequipped to deal with such a threat Daniel's platoon was decimated by the blood-drinker until he and three of his men managed to overpower it and throw it into the sunlight outside of the cave. Their reports were intercepted and covered up by TEMPLARS, at that time still being top-secret. They gave the marines a choice; join TEMPLARS to fight the enemy so feared by humanity, or stay as marines and ever silent about the matter.
They all chose the latter.
