STRENGTHS
WEAKNESSES
OVERVIEW To put it simply, Danny is not a man that everyone likes. He tends to keep to himself but projects an aura of "stay the f*ck away from me" which generally ensures his isolation. It's okay by him though, because in Danny's experience other people have generally been out to get him. Raised a slumdog from LA, he tends to not trust a soul and has very little in the way of personal possessions. If you ask most people they'll say one of the things Danny lacks is a personality considering he doesn't express himself a whole heck of a lot. His favorite emotion to express is probably anger because it's the one he has in abundance thanks to the death of his family. Most often found sparring, or more aptly put "thrashing cadets into the mats", Danny is a guy that likes to expend the energy anger gives him by sparring, fighting and working out although some of that does include avoiding all human contact.
When he's not being a grumpy Gus, Danny actually isn't a bad guy although everything about him screams 'serial murderer'. Really, he doesn't even avoid all people, only loud people. Danny appreciates quiet and peace when he can get it so he tends to hide himself away in obscure unused spaces to read a book or go workout until it's almost meditative in nature. You'll never catch him doing yoga or anything like that but in general, he uses physical exertion as a way to find some sort of inner peace. People can be around Danny when he's running or sparring or reading, really they can, they just need to be of similar mind. If you want to talk to him and he's in the zone, it might not happen but if you just wait it out he'll surface and give you his attention on his terms. The problem is few people can sit still or keep up long enough for Danny to even notice that they're there before they just start chattering, yelling or throwing punches.

HISTORY
To put it lightly, Danny has not had an easy life. He was born to single mother Katherine Wolfe, a woman that worked three jobs all in the name of keeping her kids happy. They lived in the slums of LA, and with two kids Ms. Wolfe kept herself busy. Danny was the oldest son, four years senior to his little brother Luke. Frequently targeted to be picked on because he was small and scrawny, Luke came to rely on Danny as something as a bodyguard and Danny was happy to oblige. He loved his brother and never minded getting scraped knuckles or a bruise for the sake of his brother's safety. Growing up a slumdog taught Danny to fight like one, brawling from the tmie he was eleven and occasionally jacking cars when he was sixteen. His mother never knew what to do with him, always telling him they didn't need the money even when she knew they did. At thirteen, Danny met one Jeremy Renner after getting the snot beat out of him by a local gang and from Jeremy, he learned to fight for real both with his fists and with a bo staff.
When he was fifteen, Danny took to streetfighting for money and that year, the world went to hell, literally. The kaiju returned, monsters from bedtime stories and corny old movies, punching their way back into reality. After the first attack, Danny tried to insist they move inland to keep his brother and mother safe but with everyone fleeing the coasts, there simply wasn't enough money for them to move. So, Danny started doing whatever he could to get money. He won more fights, ran jobs for parts shops stealing cars and the whole nine yards. One day, seventeen and fresh out of a fight, he runs into a man dressed in uniform that introduces himself as Officer John Westren, a marines recruiting officer. He'd watched Danny fight and he thought the teen could be of use. Times were rough and so Danny agreed to fake his age and education to get into the marines, so long as it was promised that his family would be moved inland as soon as possible.
Westren promised they would move as soon as possible and shipped Danny off to boot camp. He survived training and was sent out to assist with evacuations in Seattle when a category 3 kaiju codenamed Blackjack slammed the northern coast. The second evacuation he was sent to was in San Diego and by that time, nearly two years into being a Marine, Danny was getting impatient. No one was offering to move his family and Officer Westren kept brushing Danny off when he tried to make the man pay up on his promise of protection for the Wolfe family. One day, while en route to Canada to assist with evacuations, one of the men in his group came up to Danny and told him to turn on the news. A kaiju codenamed Brutus, a massive category 3 with a club-like tail, was destroying LA. Thousands were dead or injured before a team of two jaegers, Jynx Foxtrot and Ember Daredevil, subdued it. Forty-eight hours later a list of the dead was published and on it, Katherine and Lucas Wolfe. Danny left the Marines and dropped out of sight, twenty-two with nowhere to go. He was angry and mourning, furious at the Marines and their empty promises of safety.
That October, four months after his family was killed by the kaiju, a PPDC recruiter, one Jeremy Renner, found Danny in a dive bar in Nevada. Renner, in the years since Danny's youth, had gone from teaching kids how to fight each other to teaching kids how to fight kaiju. Renner remembered Danny and wanted him for the PPDC, claiming that while he couldn't give Danny his family back, he might be able to give Danny a little peace. Danny took Renner up on the offer simply for lack of anything else to do. He was sent to San Francisco's ranger academy and later to their Shatterdome where he ran his first three missions in a three-man drift with Ralph Hawkins and Terrence Flouce in the jaeger Lotus Typhoon. When Hawkins was discharged from the PPDC due to neural damage their trio was disbanded. Flouce was reassigned to Sydney with the jaeger Hornet Storm and Danny was sent to Reever's Island, as most new jaegers were being sent there and he had high chances of finding a copilot.
