Danyon joined the Clarion Royal Guard at 18 years of age as his father did and so on and so forth. He spent 2 years being as good a soldier as he could, but grew rather unimpressed with the lack of 'action'. The older soldiers would talk of old glory days and for the most part, they were talking over a hundred years in the past, so who's glory was it?

When the chance came to go on a year long exchange with the UPF, he leapt at it. In that year he trained and took part in numerous infiltrations, attacks on pirate bases, and boarding actions. Finally he had the chance to see what a soldier's life could be.

On returning to Clarion, Danyon tried to change the training system to be more interesting and "realistic", while some did get into his ideas, most just went back to the stories. Completely disillusioned with the Royal Guard, he applied for and was given a transfer to the Royal Marines.

At his heart Danyon is loyal to Clarion and the King, but he can display inappropriate attitudes towards the Royal Guard. He has been heard to call them "Holographic Soldiers", they look nice, but they can't really do anything.
