Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]

Daniel was an intelligent student at Brendon Public School, with Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart saying he excelled at maths and computer work. However, the headmaster told him that he was a disruptive influence due to him losing his CCF kit and skiving off games. In 1992, he was expelled from Brendon for dabbling in black magic.

In 1995, Daniel was a student at the New World University. He knew that there was something wrong with the New World University. Together with his friend Anthony, he tried to find out what it was. However, he soon got into the Great Intelligence's influence. The Great Intelligence wanted to use Daniel to set a trap for Lethbridge-Stewart, who had the last locus. Daniel didn't like this but wasn't able to withdraw the Great Intelligence's influence.

He used black magic to take himself and Lethbridge-Stewart into an astral plane during Lethbridge-Stewart's dreams, where he tried to warn Lethbridge-Stewart to trust no-one. However, Lethbridge-Stewart did not understand that Daniel was speaking of himself when he told Lethbridge-Stewart to trust no-one. Daniel couldn't tell Lethbridge-Stewart more, because the Great Intelligence was in the astral plane as well.

With Daniel's help, the Great Intelligence finally got the locus. Daniel was then transformed into an organic Yeti. His mind was also placed into the computer systems of the New World University. Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart called him "a ghost in a machine". That way Daniel was able to contact Alistair and Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and help them to fight against the Great Intelligence. Therefore, his mind was deleted from the computer systems by the Great Intelligence. However, he still existed as a Yeti.

He aided in the Great Intelligence's defeat, by destroying a machine that kept the Great Intelligence alive.

Daniel's ghost later became Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart's imaginary friend "Danny". When Lethbridge-Stewart heard about Gordon's new friend, he asked his grandson to tell him all about "Danny". (HOMEVID: Downtime) Daniel would speak with Gordon until he was 7. (PROSE: Downtime: Child of the New World)
