Daniel Monaco is a young headstrong Jedi Knight who is eager to face any trial that is put before him. Though his personality may come off as arrogant and overconfident he is a true servant to the light.

Daniel's life began on Tatooine in small Mos Eisley hut, when the New Republic was in its infancy. There his mother raised him by herself. It was always told to Daniel that his father had run away with spice traders and was never seen again. Daniel's mother got married when he was 5 years old and gave birth to her second child, Angelo. One month after he was born her second husband was killed during a Tusken Raider attack.

After the death of his mother's husband, Daniel always did his best to take care of his mother and brother.

Ever since he was a small boy Daniel seemed to have special powers, yet no Jedi Master ever came for him. It was not until 15 years of age that Daniel discovered that it was the force that gave him these powers.

On an especially hot day, a Jedi Master named Key-Neth Morigon came to Tatooine on a slave liberation mission. Daniel crossed paths with Morigon on the street and began conversing with him. He was amazed by Daniel's general knowledge but what surprised him the most was how strongly he felt the force surrounding him. After his mission was complete, he had gone to Daniel's house to ask for a blood sample to test his midi-chlorian level. It turned out to be 18,248 which was more than enough to be trained as a Jedi. Desperate to give Daniel a better life, his mother allowed him to go with Morigon to Coruscant to become a Jedi.

Morigon took Daniel as his Padawan learner right away, as he was too old to start customary Jedi training. He taught Daniel the ways of the force and in time, he learned let go of his old life and devote himself to the Jedi Order. Daniel became highly skilled with a lightsaber and is very strong with the force. Daniel strived to use his powers to help others and to serve the Jedi Order.

Morigon and Daniel became great friends and he was like the father Daniel never had. This close bond ended all too soon. One day in training, Daniel learned a terrible truth, Morigon was a Sith Maurader of the Mandalorian tribes on Duxen. Soon after Daniel was promoted to the level of Jedi Knight Key-Neth Morigon quickly tried to tempt him with the deceit and empty promises of the dark side of the force.

Daniel refused add continued the path of a Jedi. Surprisingly, Morigon simply left Coruscant, leaving Daniel unharmed.

Once Key-Neth Morigon gave up on his attempts to turn Daniel to the dark side, he wasted no time in heading to Kamino to have him cloned. His will to have Daniel as his apprentice was obsessively strong so he went for the second best option. Morigon took Daniel's evil copy to the lava planet of Mustafar and devoted his life to training him. Morigon quickly went to work brainwashing him about the "treacherous" Jedi, and how they must be destroyed. The loyal clone took in all his master told him, and his hatred for the Jedi grew stronger every day especially for the most "treacherous" of all the Jedi. Daniel. After completing his student's training, Morigon gave him the title Darth Sirius, the name he hoped to give Daniel.

After Morigon's betrayal, Daniel took on a Padawan of his own, Tyler Bausinger. Tyler used to live next to Daniel and his family on Tatooine and was taken for training only a year after Daniel had departed. The two developed an extremely strong bond that was stronger than most typical force bonds  between Master and Apprentice. Tyler, as his Master, is extremely strong with the force, but when together, the two are infinitely stronger. Their powers seem to feed off of one another making each stronger than when alone. The Jedi Council exploits this special bond often sending them on missions that would prove difficult for ordinary Jedi. Tyler admires Daniel greatly and even admits to him that one of his biggest fears is disappointing him.

WARNING!!! PLOT SPOILER FOR KNIGHTS OF THE NEW REPUBLIC EPISODE I.

2 decades after the Battle of Endor Master Skywalker send Daniel and Tyler to investigate a Dark Jedi uprising that was becoming a problem. Daniel discovered that his former Master Morigon was rebuilding an ancient Sith artifact known as the Dark Reaper. Unlike its previous user Count Dooku, Morigon would not use the Reaper for destruction. Instead he would harness the living force to manipulate the minds of anyone who went near it (turning Jedi to the dark side).

After finding a holocron on Korriban containing information on the Dark Reaper, and turning a one of Morigon’s students back to the light Daniel met with the Jedi Council on Dantooine. There he learned there were three other holocrons that were vital to the Dark Reapers operation. The Council sent Daniel Tyler and their newly redeemed friend Cassandra to find them. Little did Daniel know that while he was in session with the Council, Darth Sirius convinced Cassandra to rejoin the Sith.

The three Jedi had little trouble locating the holocron on Dantooine. This holocron revealed that the next was on Kashyyyk. When they arrived on Kashyyyk to search for the holocron, Cassandra receives word from one of Morigon’s followers that the remaining holocron was located on Duxen. When Daniel and Tyler returned with the other holocrons, she turned on them rendering both Jedi unconscious. Cassandra took the holocrons and left the Jedi for dead.

Daniel and Tyler made their way back to Dantooine to inform the Council of their failure, but when they arrived they realized all of the Jedi were under control by the Dark Reaper. After a pointless battle between Daniel, Tyler and their fellow Jedi, Daniel finds himself face to face with Darth Sirius. Tyler and Jedi Knight Edward are both unconscious leaving Daniel to face Sirius alone.

Sirius finds this whole meeting quite amusing as it seems he knows more about Daniel than he knows himself. Daniel learns that his father was no spice trader and that the force itself is his father. That is why Morigon wanted him as his apprentice so bad. Sirius explains how Daniel is the second Chosen one and he is the absolute last chance for there to be balance in the force. Daniel also learns that Morigon was never a Jedi. He manipulated the minds of the Council just so he could have Daniel as his apprentice. Although common for Jedi to begin training at an older age (being there is a Jedi Knight of Master to mentor them) The council only excepted Daniel as a Jedi because they knew his power and feared what he had the potential to become…
