Born as the result of a drunken one night stand, that ended up forcing two young people to give up their hopes and dreams, to get married, and raise the child neither of them planned, Daniels Helms life was never an easy one. Because neither of his parents really cared much about him Daniel was left to basically fend for himself from a young age. If he ever walked into the house with new things, money, or food, they would automatically accuse him of either stealing from them to get the items or stealing the items. 

When Daniel was six and a half he came home from school to a drunk father stood over by the kitchen table. As he turned he threw a piece of paper at Daniel asking him what he knew about it and demanding he tell him where the fuck his mother had gone. The by had no idea what his father was talking about until he picked up the piece of paper his eyes skimming over the words and picking out the essential ones. 

'Leaving as can't take this crap and have another man'

Before Daniel could say anything to his father the man was upon him using the child as a punching bag. That was the first time Daniel had to make a trip to the hospital but it was nowhere near the last. 

 

After years of abuse, that Daniel always made excuses for, his father one night, not long after a couple of marshals had been to the home, began raving about creatures coming to kill him. He ended up institutionalised and Daniel after lying about his mother, and paying someone to pretend to be here, was allowed to stay at home where he raised himself. The only two differences were, one now he was safe from abuse, and two he intended to help, in any way he could, the only two people who in his life had shown hid kindness and believed in him, the marshals that had helped him and the only way he felt he could do that.... become an informant.
