Appearance

Danitz is a man around thirty with unremarkable features, dark-blue eyes, and distinctive burnt-yellow or scorched-yellow eyebrows 637.

• Often disguises himself while wanted, using a wig and beard 339.
• His £3,000 bounty makes public appearances in Bayam particularly dangerous 336.
• Was known to wear a black cloak while working in Bayam’s Resistance Army 1006.

Personality

Danitz is proud of his position aboard the Golden Dream and reacts sharply when others dismiss him as “only” the fourth mate. Although quick-tempered and easily provoked, he can restrain himself when fighting would be strategically foolish 336.

His loyalty to Edwina Edwards is absolute. Captured and tortured by Big Eater Margo’s crew, Danitz refused money, freedom, and threats rather than reveal information regarding his captain’s “clue” 345. He masks fear and pain with insults, mockery, and theatrical bravado.

He is deeply insecure about Edwina’s opinion of him and interprets her professional distance as a possible rejection. His private paper-scrap divination, hidden photograph of Edwina, and vow to become someone capable of protecting her reveal an awkward, idealistic infatuation 446.

• Can detonate gathered flames to propel himself away from attacks 344.

Dream Entry

Danitz can enter dreams and provide a dream-space for secure meetings.

• Used Dream Entry to arrange Sifa’s meeting with Edwina without exposing her physically 337.
• Requires sleep to initiate the ability; he used a scented bottle to relax before entering the dream 337.

Hunter Instincts

• Uses crowds, shops, alleys, fireballs, frightened civilians, and public disorder to delay enemies 343.
• Escaped the Church of Storms’ staged pursuit through Bayam’s sewers 344.
• Proposed investigating the apparently empty eastern sea, leading to the discovery of the invisible island containing the Styx Ruler 451.

Relationships

• Edwina Edwards — Captain of the Golden Dream. Danitz is fiercely loyal to her and privately infatuated with her 345 446.
• Sifa / Hunter Rayleigh — Initially hostile rivals; Sifa rescues Danitz from Margo’s crew, and the two develop a sarcastic but dependable friendship 336 348 476.

• Water Bucket and Ironhide — Close crewmates whom Danitz calls his “good brothers” 355.

• Big Eater Margo — Enemy pirate captain who captured and tortured Danitz for information about Edwina 345.
• Red Hair Zote — Pyromaniac opponent and Margo’s first mate; Danitz was assigned to confront him during the boarding assault on the Big Eater 346 357.

History

Contact with Hunter Rayleigh

Danitz first approached Sifa in Bayam after learning that Sifa possessed information concerning Admiral of Blood. Sifa dismissed him as “just” the fourth mate, nearly provoking a fight, but Danitz chose to withdraw rather than create a dangerous public conflict 336.

He later brought Sifa into a Dream Entry meeting with Edwina. Danitz became suspicious when Sifa professed admiration for the captain and sought to join the Golden Dream, interpreting the calculated praise as romantic interest 337 338.

Bait for Admiral of Blood

Edwina assigned Danitz to assist Sifa’s plan to locate Admiral of Blood’s agents. Reluctant to become bait, Danitz ultimately accepted after Sifa challenged his loyalty to the Golden Dream and Edwina 339 340.

The Church of Storms staged a city-wide hunt through Bayam. Danitz created chaos with fire and evasive maneuvers, but the pursuit exhausted and injured him before Margo’s crew ambushed him after his escape 343 344.

Margo imprisoned Danitz aboard the Big Eater and demanded Edwina’s secret. Danitz refused, taunted his captors through torture, and even bit Margo’s ear when offered a chance to whisper an answer 345. Sifa infiltrated the ship, sabotaged it, and freed Danitz before Margo could have him killed and Spirit Channeled 348.

Service Aboard the *Golden Dream*

After the rescue, Danitz informed Sifa that Edwina had invited him aboard the Golden Dream 350. Edwina temporarily assigned Sifa as Danitz’s assistant, placing the two in adjoining cabins and making Danitz responsible for introducing him to shipboard life 354.

Danitz supported Sifa during his conflict with Jodson, while warning him that Jodson could imitate another person’s abilities and suppress their use 355. During Admiral of Blood’s attack, Danitz was overwhelmed by Senor’s Wraith Shriek and fell overboard; Sifa rescued him 356.

He later volunteered for the dangerous boarding mission against Margo’s replacement ship. While Sifa launched the team from the Purification Cannon, Danitz attacked the enemy sails with enormous fireballs and fought Zote in midair 357.

Recognition and Conspirer Advancement

Danitz joined Jodson’s raid on the Black Raven Pirates despite complaining about being paired with him. Using Sifa’s hydrogen cylinders, he helped sink the enemy ship and seriously injure its captain, Freeman. Jodson credited Danitz with making the greatest contribution, and Edwina personally praised him 447.

After Sifa secretly uncovered Tracy’s informant aboard the Golden Dream, Danitz acted as the visible discoverer of the evidence and brought it to Edwina, unaware that Sifa had orchestrated the operation from behind the scenes 449 450.

Gehrman Sparrow later bestowed the Conspirer potion formula upon Danitz after determining that he had fully digested the Hunter and Provoker potions 782. He had successfully advanced by the time Sifa encountered him again in Bayam 1006.

Separation and Reunion

When Sifa’s naval identity was exposed, Danitz felt personally betrayed and demanded to know whether Sifa had ever considered the Golden Dream’s crew companions. Though angry, he still told Sifa not to let the Feysacans kill him 476.

By the time of their reunion in Bayam, Danitz had become a Sea God believer and a liaison for the Resistance Army. He was startled and intimidated by Sifa’s advancement to Demigod status, but still bantered with him and mobilized Resistance Army leaders to help locate Lin Rui 1006.

Trivia

• Danitz’s bounty was £3,000 during his first encounter with Sifa 336.
• He considers Edwina’s general-knowledge classes aboard the Golden Dream difficult enough that most people would quit within a week 336.
• His “The captain likes me / The captain doesn’t like me” paper divination had an admitted fifty-percent accuracy rate, but he chose to trust its favorable result 446.
