Daniel (Honest Hearts)

Daniel is a Mormon missionary in Zion Canyon in the year 2281.

Background
Originally hailing from New Canaan, Daniel used to help the Sorrows with various medical problems and general difficulties, but was sent to Zion as a missionary by Bishop Mordecai to convert those who were willing to follow in the path of God. After the destruction of New Canaan, caring for the tribals became the focus of Daniel's attention. He feels that the Sorrows would not have been subject to the wrath of the White Legs in the first place were it not for the interference of the Mormons.

Having witnessed the tribes suffering at the hands of slavers, raiders and NCR prospectors he has dedicated himself to protecting them and tending to their needs. He intends to accomplish this by helping the Sorrows evacuate Zion to safety out of a desire to both remove them from harm's way and prevent them from falling into militancy to defeat the White Legs. He fears war with the White Legs would change the Sorrows from what he views as a life of simple innocence into a more warlike culture - the same way of thinking that led the world to ruin, led Joshua Graham to become the Malpais Legate and created men like Salt-Upon-Wounds.
