Biography[]
Background and early life[]
Little is known about Danny's background. He was a survivor of the Cordyceps brain infection outbreak and joined the Washington Liberation Front to fight against the Seraphites in Seattle.
Events of The Last of Us Part II[]
Danny and Owen Moore were sent to sweep the marina of Seraphites. However, after defeating the group stationed there, Owen refused to kill a survivor, an elderly man. He told Danny that he was done with the war, and Danny could kill the Seraphite himself if he wanted to. Angered, Danny pointed his gun at Owen, leading to a fight that ended with Owen shooting Danny and running away. Danny managed to walk to the WLF's outpost with a bullet in his stomach. The guards found Danny's collapsed body by the perimeter fence and rushed him back to the FOB for medical attention. The WLF's leader, Isaac Dixon, was also there and was able to talk with him before he passed away, learning that Owen killed Danny while protecting a Scar.
Later that day, Nora Harris revealed Danny's body to Abby Anderson and Manny Alvarez in the base's morgue and explained everything that had happened. Nora told them to keep it a secret so as not to get in trouble with Isaac.
They rendezvous with Isaac as he's torturing a Scar during an interrogation, and the three of them make their way upstairs to Isaac's office. Abby asks him if Owen is okay, to which he answers that he is... at least as far as Isaac knows. Abby asks why they did not send out a search party, but Isaac cuts her off by revealing that Owen shot Danny to protect a Scar. Abby does not believe it, but Isaac tells her that if it is false then it means that Danny lied to him with his last breath.
To find out the truth, Abby sneaks out and confronts Owen about Danny's death at the aquarium. He explains everything, revealing he did indeed kill Danny to protect a Scar.
Trivia[]
- Danny is never seen alive in-game.
- This WLF soldier is the second character in the franchise named Danny. The first lived in Pittsburgh along with fellow survivors Ish, Kyle, and Susan.
- When Danny pulls his gun on Owen, Owen grabs it and accidentally shoots Danny in the stomach during the struggle for it, resulting in his death. Owen attempts this technique again when Ellie corners him and Mel at the aquarium, but the results were not in Owen's favor this time: when he went after Ellie's gun she punched him and shot him in the chest, resulting in his death and unknowingly avenging Danny's.
