Danny is the lieutenant of Valliyv and a student at Earl Grey. Although young and not yet fully trained, he is smart, perceptive, loyal, and a natural leader, and he will do whatever it takes to advance his Kern's interests. Being a Tracker, he is also the type that usually leads Kerns. However, because Elonia is the Keeper and is forced to lead, he can only be lieutenant, and seems to be satisfied with that, even stating that he doesn't want to lead. His family has been in the Wielders for generations, but he has always been reluctant to join them and they have allowed him not to because they weren't sure whether he would be a Kenilath. Seeing the brutality the Wielders inflicted on the Gate-guards made him even more certain that he wanted no part of being in the Wielders. However, he can't shake the fact that he still cares for his parents and certain other members of the Wielders, and they won't quite let him go.
