Daniel is a Priest in a small, nearly rural town. He is very respected in his community, because a large chunk of their community follows this church. Despite his occupation, he doesn't have any faith for the god he preaches. This is not something he is in denial of, this has always been a pillar of truth in his beliefs since he was a child. His father was a deacon in the church, and a close friend of the church's bishop. The Bishop mentored Daniel, as his parents wanted him to grow up inside the church as well. His parents died in a car accident when he was a mid-teenager. This lead to him relying on the church for the rest of his teen years. He took responsibility for taking care of his little brother, Tadeo, who was a toddler at the time. He has been taught to be a great speaker and communicator, and uses this to sway the churchgoers opinions, usually as directed by the bishop.
The reason for his atheism was also taught by the Bishop. He is a cultist and specializes in necromancy, as the bishop is trying to find a way to make immortality possible.
