Operation DOPPELGANGER was a ploy by Maximilian Liao to substitute Hanse Davion with a double that would seriously weaken the Federated Suns and prevent the formation of the Federated Commonwealth. Much of this conspiracy was made public to the citizens of the Inner Sphere as Hanse used it as a rationalization for the Fourth Succession War. What was not publicly known was the role Myndo Waterly and ComStar had in the conspiracy as well.
History[edit]
Not much was known about the man who would be molded into Hanse, this was hampered by the fact that from 3015 until 3025 Capellan Confederation scientists (actually seven recently abducted Federated Suns scientists from Sanilac) completely subsumed the identity of their subject. He genuinely believed himself to be Hanse Davion. After years a rehabilitative therapy, in 3029 he was finally able to recall his own birth name: Daniel.[1][2]
Third Succession War[edit]
In 3025, Ardan Sortek was captured on Stein's Folly. He was thoroughly interrogated for his knowledge of Hanse Davion and his mannerisms. Unknown at the time, Daniel was also on planet and the results of Ardan's interrogations were implanted into Daniel's psyche. Daniel was later inserted into the Davion Summer Palace on Argyle where he took the place of Hanse. Hanse in turn was also abducted and interrogated in order to make Daniel even more convincing. After a daring escape both Ardan and Hanse were able to prove their own identity and arrest Daniel.[3]
Daniel was transferred to Milton in an attempt to rehabilitate him and restore his sense of identity.[4]
Fourth Succession War[edit]
On 1 June 3028, Daniel was in a therapy session on Milton when he was asked about a desire to have a child. This triggered dormant conditioning that demanded he "protect the child." Daniel escaped, murdering the doctor and an aide in the process. While his thought process was still jumbled without the expected conditioning reinforcement, Daniel knew he must get to Terra.[4]
After the events on Terra concluded, Daniel was transferred to Poulsbo where his therapy resumed. It was here that he was able to recall his name was Daniel.[2]
