History:
Daniel Smith's story is not a pleasant one. While he was still an infant he was taken from his biological parents and turned over to a top-secret government organization designed to train and empower humans with the abilities and skills necessary to fight back against the ever-growing presence of the Supernatural.
As an infant Daniels was genetically modified with a variety of serums, experimental drugs, and supernatural DNA. As a result of these experiments more than four hundred children lost their lives the very few who survived were notably stronger, faster, and had other unnatural abilities which set them apart from their fellow man.
Trained and raised in a closed environment Daniels was educated and instructed in multiple fighting techniques and weapon training, as well as other heavy physical activities which made him conditioned for physical combat. Additionally, the school was done with private instructors left absolutely no room for failure.
He and the other children were constantly monitored and watched for abnormalities. One such child began to show outward signs of werecreature-like changes. Immediately he was pulled from the group and taken into what the kids referred to as the hall. Any who entered the hall were never seen again. This conditioning would continue until he was sixteen years of age.
By that point in his life, full life and death, combat trials were conducted against actual soldiers, and failure led to the hall each and every time. They did not fail, they were not allowed to fail, and they were trained and conditioned from the start to believe that failure was not an option and came with dire consequences.
Between the ages of 16 – 18, he was trained in all knowledge pertaining to supernatural creatures. While this knowledge was limited and some of it was theory at no point did fictional concepts enter their mind. They were not permitted to watch television. Books were monitored, the interaction they had with others was monitored, and everything they did was designed to make them ruthless effective killing machines, genetically modified to do exactly that. So, hearing someone talk about a monster in their classroom didn't lead to laughter it led to twenty children taking notes and sitting up.
At the age of 18 Daniels along with the other children was finally introduced to the world, which was extremely overwhelming. They were talking to another instructor who would teach them the art of blending in, lying, and all about society and the popular cultural behaviors of the times. This included everything from basic conversations to how they performed sex. Which like everything else was monitored and educated. Rather than allowing it to be a natural thing.
At the age of 21 after countless hours spent learning about the world and the people in it. They were given their first mission. Many did not survive; the goal was to strike a vampire nest and eradicate all of them. From there using everything he was taught plus impressive weaponry Daniels was sent on assignment after assignment to capture, kill and destroy supernatural creatures. Everything from werewolves to fae and ghosts.
Daniels had developed some very unhealthy patterns of behaviors, but none were stronger than his prejudice and open hatred for the supernatural, which bordered on sadistic war crimes. If one could think of it, he had done it at some point without regard for their life or their feelings.
Over the years Daniels realized that he was bi-sexual but never felt a draw to relationships or long-term entanglements. In his line of work, which was often referred to as a Hunter, he had no time for such things. However, he did not view women any differently than he viewed men and when performing his hunts, he was more than willing to be with either or others. It made little difference to him and that likely had to do a lot with his conditioning as failure was not an option and he had to be willing to do anything in order to complete his task.
