Background Information
Daniel was born and grew up on a large farming estate on the Planet Stuttgart to a low ranking noble family just before the Nomad War. During the war his father Otto joined the Military as many members of their family did over the centuries and lost his life. This affected Daniel terribly as it forced him to grow up as the only male heir to his house. He flourished in his early and later education, but there was a growing resentment in the young man. He blamed foreign corporate interference in Rheinland for the House’s woes on top of the fact that his family also lost much during the Popular Revolution.
In 818 A.S. Daniel joined the Rheinland Military and took part in the Rheinland-Liberty war as a snub pilot and squad leader. After the sabotage of the Bering and Hudson jump gates by the Federal Government, Daniel was stationed in the Hamburg system and served with distinction in a pirate suppression role.
In 823 A.S. after the signing of a peace treaty between Rheinland and Liberty, Daniel was reassigned to pilot a Sleipnir heavy fighter aboard a Donau-Class Cruiser known as the RNC-Hohenzollern and was stationed in New Berlin as part of the system’s Garrison. It was around this time that Daniel joined the Imperial Party as a member.
In 826 A.S. the Hohenzollern was attached to the Battleship Kolleda and served as one of the battleship’s escorts for a time in the Sigma-21 system and aiding in raids into Kusari space.
Upon the return of the Kolleda to New Berlin, Daniel began to work closely with the Imperials during his downtime and took part in the coup de ’tat reinstating the Monarchy. He took part in the initial seizure of the New Berlin system and had a limited role in skirmishes in the Stuttgart system, his home. However the original Hohenzollern was destroyed in an engagement with Federalist forces and he was sent back to New Berlin for reassignment. Following the signing of the Holstein Accords, Daniel was reassigned to the Battleship Westfallen.
In the months following the end of the civil war, Daniel was assigned to the anti-terrorism wing of the Rheinwehr and has distinguished himself as a Hessian hunter. His actions have garnered him a promotion to Bootsman and he continues to fight the Hessian threat wherever he can.
Personality Traits
Daniel Erich Hohenstaufen was raised as the only son of his father Otto Erich. This placed a lot of pressure on the boy growing up as his father was killed during the Nomad War. This made him into a people pleaser growing up and he nurtured his own burgeoning charisma and leadership skills in school and in sports.
His desire to join the military was to uphold his family’s traditions, honour his father’s memory and protect the people of Rheinland. This stems from him seeing the suffering and pain the struggling farmers of Stuttgart have gone through. He is determined to protect his people and fight their enemies.
However, the young man is kind, dedicated and loyal to a fault to the Kaiser and to Rheinland
