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 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 my helping the Sorrows evacuate Zion to safety out of a desire to both remove them from harms 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 to become the Malpais Legate and created men like Salt-Upon-Wounds.

Endings

 * If Daniel dies, the Sorrows who survive the assault on Zion Valley mourn his loss, as is their custom. Word of Daniel's passing reaches the New Canaanites several weeks later. They pray that their brother will be well-received by their Lord.
 * If he leads the Sorrows from their home in Zion to safety in Grand Staircase, Daniel continues to wonder if he's made the right choice. He spends his life evangelizing the beliefs of his people to a new generation of young men and women, as his ancestors had for centuries before him. He is happy with his family, but for the rest of his life there are nights when he awakes with sadness to find he had been dreaming of Zion.
 * If the White Legs are defeated, for years after Daniel does his best to minister to the Sorrows' spiritual needs. Try as he might, he cannot hold back the tribe's increasing militancy and reverence of Joshua Graham. Demoralized, he returns to his family and Dead Horse Point. His failures haunt him for the rest of his days.
