Personal history

The Marshal Brandan Gareth, officially a loyal Steiner officer, in secret a ambitious man aspiring to create his own state, would seize the opportunity to "tutor" the young Duke, separating him from the rest of his family, and assuming in secret, the control of Defiance Industries. Then, Gareth starts what he called "Operation Excalibur", a plan to secede the Isle of Skye and create his own state, "the Free Star Republic". The young duke, ignored all of this. He dreams to be a MechWarrior, but Gareth only left him to briefly pilot the first prototype mech of Defiance Industries, the Defiance during his presentation. When the Gray Death Legion attacked his factory from the inside, Daniel sees his opportunity: using his great knowledge of the place, he infiltrated the factory alone to take the prototype, and used it to attack the Legion forces from inside. Damaged and weakened, they were on the verge of defeat, and Daniel was close to making that defeat possible. However, in a desperate move, Lori Kalmar, the new leader of the Legion, made a giant bucket of metal liquid spill over his mech. With his mech overloaded, Daniel ejected inside the building, a suicide move...but, incredibly, he survived when his parachute was caught on the roof, and was rescued afterwards. Katrina Steiner forgave him as he hadn't any knowledge of Gareth's plans and he enlisted in the Legion temporary, making his dream of becoming a Mechwarrior come true. The count served in the Legion during 7 years, and in 3065 he has the rang of captain. Years later, when the Gray Death Legion was destroyed fighting the Syke Separatists in Hesperus II, during the FedCom Civil War, Daniel survived legion's destruction. Then he was in charge of Defiance Industries, and incorporated the remains of the Legion to join the Defiance Self-Protection Force. They would later become known as Brewer's Legion.
