Biography
Life in Liverpool
Following the 2021 Dalek civil war, that New Year's Day, Dan's friend read out Dan's horoscope, which foretold that Dan, an Aries, would find surprises later that year, that the colour blue and the letter D would be important, and that thirteen would be his lucky number. He was told to be prepared for action, and to remember that, no matter what, it wouldn't be the end of the world. After his friend finished, Dan closed the rear doors of his Ford Transit, turned, and smiled. (TV: Welcome to the TARDIS...)
Dan volunteered at a food bank, and refused to take home soup for himself when offered, though he had no food at home. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)
Travelling with the Doctor
On Halloween night, 2021, Dan was kidnapped by Karvanista, who intended to rescue him from the Flux. He found himself on Karvanista's ship. The Doctor and Yaz came to rescue him, and took Dan aboard the TARDIS. (TV: The Halloween Apocalypse)
