A member of the Brotherhood of Steel.
Nothing is known about Dane's past save for that they were not born into the Brotherhood of Steel, though how and when they were recruited is also unknown. In their military career, Dane has experienced living in the wasteland and knows the worst of how humanity can be.
In joining the Brotherhood of Steel, Dane was attracted to the idea of having "brothers" and "sisters" that supported each other, and values learning in school about technology. With Maximus, Dane is attracted to their fellow aspirant's fortitude and has sympathy towards him over his misgivings at failing to become a knight as they both dreamed.
Dane is promoted to squire first, but someone apparently sabotaged their boot (putting razors inside) resulting in their reassignment to technician, and Maximus taking their place. Later it is discovered Dane did it to themselves, having been terrified to be a squire.
