Daniel

Daniel (also known simply as Danny) is the leader of the Elite Masters in Skylanders: Heroes, as well as the central protagonist. He is the Elite Master of the Pure element, a very rare and unique element capable of harnessing the powers of the other elements as well as giving Daniel other special powers.

Biography
Daniel Butterfield lived with his family in the town of Drag Valley. His mother was a doctor while his father was a scientist for Vortechs. He also had an uncle and an older sister, but he didn't really interact with them as much. One day, without warning, Daniel collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious while at school. While at the hospital, accompanied by his friends and family, it was revealed that Daniel was suffering from an unknown disease. The disease wasn't contagious, but it was deadly. Of course being an unknown disease, there was no known cure. Daniel's parents spent several months searching for answers until Daniel's father was convinced that he had found the answer he was looking for and decided to go to his lab at Vortechs to get all necessary supplies to finish the job. However, when he left that night, he never came back. To this day, Daniel is still suffering from his disease and with no father-figure in his life. Now, he does the best he can to stay close to everyone he cares about and make the best out of everything, because he doesn't know if it'll last much longer.

Allies
Brad - Brad is Daniel's best friend and second-in-command. The two of them always engage in various events and Daniel knows he can trust him to keep the team in balance whenever he is absent.

Wordsworth - Wordsworth and Daniel are good friends, but Daniel cannot trust the latter on his own due to his "foolish" behavior. Whenever he is with the prankster, he tries to teach him a thing or two about responsibility (which Wordsworth hardly listens to).

Trivia

 * In early-production stages, Daniel was originally intended to be of the Magic element. However, this idea was later scrapped and Sue took on the role. The reason behind this is because BC thought that an all-male team would be boring.
 * For some odd reason Daniel has white hair, a trait obviously not found in humans at a young age. Whether this is a side effect of his disease, his connection to the Pure element, or a combination of both is currently unknown. However, it is also possible that he simply dyed his hair white.
