Daniel Allison was a fourth-generation [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] who grew up touring the [[Terran Hegemony]] via his mother's duty stations. Allison would attend the [[War Academy of Mars]], first seeing service with the [[135th Royal BattleMech Division]] in [[2690]] after graduation. Allison quickly attracted fame in the SLDF as an exceptional marksman and astute tactician for his prowess in hunting bandits on [[Hazelhurst]]. Coming to the attention the 135th's commander [[General]] [[Ellis Wilfred]], in [[2692]] Allison was one of three MechWarriors from the 135th sent to the [[Military Academy of Aphros]]' prestigious Gunslinger Program. Daniel Allison would excel there, becoming the only trainee to defeat all of his instructors in one-on-one combat. His last match against Colonel [[Jack Henry Fiesta]], lasted a fierce forty-eight seconds.<ref name=ER2750-84/>

Following graduation from the Gunslinger Program, Daniel Allison was promoted to [[colonel]] and command of the [[Twenty-ninth Royal Dragoon Regiment]] in [[2701]], also serving as the [[regiment]]'s champion. In [[2702]], Allison and the Twenty-ninth were rotated to [[Annapolis]] where the [[Draconis Combine]] duelists had an impressive record of thirty-one wins and no losses. Allison's first duel was against ''[[Sho-sa]]'' [[Tomo Fukuhara]]. Though Fukuhara fired first, Allison was able to evade most of the ''Ronin'' MechWarrior's laser and missile fire, firing two [[PPC]] shots in return, the first severing Fukuhara's [['Mech]]'s left leg and the second breaching the ammunition magazine of Kuritan's [[LRM 10]] and gutting his 'Mech to earn the first SLDF victory on Annapolis.<ref name=ER2750-84/><ref name=SL59/>

In [[2702]], Allison and the Twenty-ninth were rotated to [[Annapolis]] where the [[House Kurita]] duelists had an impressive record of thirty-one wins and no losses.

By [[2704]] Allison was already famous enough as a gunslinger that he was invited to serve as the Grand Marshall of the 'mech games on [[Solaris VII]]. He later fought a duel on Solaris VII with ronin, Kaneda Fujima, who he had defeated in a duel two years previously. Piloting a brand new [[Black Knight]], Allison won the second match as well, resulting in Fujima's death, although it is unclear if Fujima was unable to eject as his [[Marauder]]'s ammo exploded or if he chose to remain onboard as a result of the shame of loosing to Allison again. Forty-two years and twenty worlds after defeating Fukuhara, Daniel Allison would retire from the SLDF on his seventy-fifth birthday, having served longer than any other gunslinger, with a impressive dueling record in his ''[[BattleMaster]]'' of fifty-nine wins, zero losses and one draw.<ref name=ER2750-84/><ref name=SL59/>

Upon his retirement from the SLDF, Daniel Allison went to work for [[Kallon Industries]] as Vice President of BattleMech Design, which would see him working on many prestigious projects but is most often remembered as the father of the exceptionally accurate [[Garret D2j|Garret D2j targeting and tracking system]].<ref name=ER2750-84/>
