- "Who gives a shit, Hastings? A newspaper's supposed to make you feel good. Nobody remembers what they read."
- — Danny to Arthur.
Danny Defoe is an ex-employee at the "O" Courant, until Arthur caught him stealing his own works. He was later taken by the Headboys and forced to fight in their arenas to survive. He eventually fights Arthur during the quest Conflict Resolution, intending to kill him for ousting him to the Garden District.
Arthur can either kill him or knock him out.
Appearance[]
Danny is a roughed up Wastrel with a torn suit and green bow tie, with messy black hair and bright blue eyes. Arthur comments on how he has lost a bit of weight since the last time he saw him.
History[]
Before ending up in the Garden District, Danny used to work at The Hamlyn "O" Courant, getting fired after Arthur found that he'd been copying his work line by line.
During Act I, Arthur is forced into a fight against Danny, who intends to kill Arthur for getting him fired from his job. The player may choose either the "The Help" or a Pointy Stick, depending on whether the player is intending on getting the "The Saint" achievement or not. Regardless of the player's choice, Danny always picks the Lead Pipe as his weapon.
It's unknown how he got himself into the Headboy Arena, though it's likely because of the promise of food for those who won. The announcer introduces Danny as a "two-time winner".
Trivia[]
- Danny's name is a reference to English trader and writer Daniel Defoe, who is known to have written the Robinson Crusoe novels.
- Danny's surname, Defoe, is likely referring to the fact that he is the enemy, or the foe, that the player learns to fight against with proper weapons.
