Previous life
Daniel Hanes was born in 1950. He lived in California for the beginning of his life, and he married at 21 in 1972 and had a couple of children since then. He went to school for years and got his Ph.D. in psychology at the age of 26. One night when Daniel fell into a deep sleep and his consciousness slipped into a higher plane of existence. His mind went into the Uerica through the dreamscape. He was astonished by the Uerica and he even met Goldyrondo, who convinced him it was real and not a dream.

This led to the beginning of Dr. Hanes's mysterious study of higher planes of consciousness and his search for the Uerica. His work was more important to him than anything, and his family ended up leaving him as a result. This allowed him to create a group of scientists who would help him reach his goals. SCAR is founded in 1981 as a small group working on the secret of the universe. They developed devices to try and access higher dimensions, but the US government became suspicious of their work. After relocating SCAR far away deep in the forest of Pennsylvania, SCAR could finally study in secret.

Personality
Although Hanes is extremely intelligent, he puts himself above others and acts like no one can match his intellect. He is a jerk to those who won't give him respect but he doesn't respect anyone he isn't close to, which is only his group SCAR. He doesn't care about anyone else and he strictly focuses on his work.
