Dr. Dan

Background

Dan is a medical doctor in Canisborough, Pennsylvania. His wife is Sandy and his son is Stewart. Dan was formerly in the United States Army as a medical doctor stationed in Massachusetts. He was forced to leave his previous job when he killed a patient while drunk.

During the events of Lycan Colony (2006) played by Bill Sykes

Sandy is cutting a pepper when she calls Stewart to the kitchen. Stewart falls down the stairs in front of Dan who helps him up. They walk into the kitchen and Dan notices that Sandy is upset. He tells her that they had to move to Canisborough in order for him to find work and Sandy and Dan tell Stewart that they had to move, because Dan was drunk while performing a surgery and murdered a patient. He was then forced to leave the hospital and go to Alcoholics Anonymous. Dan goes to take out the trash and is surprised by Dave (Daveed), his AA sponsor, who tells him that he better show up for that night's AA meeting. At the Town Hall, Dan, Dave, AAmeeting drinkers, AA meeting woman, and AAmeeting gather for their AA meeting. The AA Speaker starts the meeting and during the meeting Dan tells Dave that he notices that no one in town seems to get sick or injured.

The AA Meeting ends and Dave invites Dan to get some coffee. Dan and Dave go to The Village Trestle and as they enter the bar, Zev's Bar patrons, Zev's bar patrons and HumanZEV turn and look at them. Dan and Dave take a seat at a table and order coffee from ZEV. Dan and Dave then eat a steak. Doug Allen and Russ Allen enter The Village Trestle. Dan asks Russ and Doug if he can borrow their ketchup and notices Doug's Special Operations tattoo on the back of his neck. They start a conversation and Dan tells them that he knew Roger and they invite him and Dave to join them. They talk about Roger and Dan mentions remembering Roger receiving a watch when he retired. ZEV asks them if they want anything else and happens to drop Roger's watch. Doug and Russ grab ZEV and he runs away. Doug, Russ and Dan follow him into the kitchen where Grill Cook and Dishwasher stare at them and tell them they are not supposed to be in there.

They continue into the storage area where they corner ZEV. He rants about outsiders and tells them that the steaks were made from Roger. ZEV transforms into WolfZEV and attacks them before running away. Dan and Russ are okay, but Doug dies from a large throat wound. Dan opens the freezer door and shows Russ the chopped up bodies of Sargeant Roger Allen and Hunters. They enter another part of the bar and are attacked by Black Beta Wolves. Dan manages to escape and finds Dave. Dan gets home and Sandy stops him from attacking Stewart, who has turned into a werewolf. Dave and Russ drive to Dan's house and Dave tells Sandy and Dan that Stewart's condition can't be reversed. Dave tells Dan to give Stewart water from the tap and explains that their water source has unusual amounts of silver in it, which allows them to control the locals' changes into werewolves. After drinking the water, Stewart starts to change back to normal. Dave tells Russ and Sandy about the history of Canisborough and that he knew Dan since they were kids.

He tells them that he was working undercover to investigate ZEV and his pack. He says that he needs to bring ZEV alive in front of his tribe in order for ZEV to be tried for his crimes. Dan has a dream that Sandy, Dave, Russ and Doug eat him. Russ wakes him up and then loads her weapons with ammo. Later, a transformed Stewart dances with Sarah as Dan and Sandy watch.
