Command Seal: A Double-Headed Eagle.
Personality: Due to being born from a normally-forbidden union between Mage and Scientist, Daniel is loyal to Chaldea Security Organization because they accept him and his origins while the Mages’ Association and The Church would not. This loyalty plus the belief that Chaldea knows better than other associations makes him apt to arrogant behavior towards those who enter Chaldea from the Mages’ Association or from other organizations which know of the occult, an arrogance fueled by resentment at their prejudices and a desire to pre-empt them - Far better that others hate him on his terms, is his belief.
Despite this, however, Daniel desires friendship like other people his age, and is quick to accept offers of it from people who successfully convince him that no, they’re not prejudiced pricks out to get him. He is especially receptive to people his age, although as a hormonal teenager attracted to both men and women, he finds it hard
not to rapidly develop feelings for the first cute person he sees.
Character Goal: Find something he values more than Chaldea and their vision of the ‘Greater Good’.
Bio: Daniel was born to two members of Chaldea Security Organization, a Mage and a Scientist, who would not have otherwise met if not for the reach of the group. Raised in a loving, but unorthodox manner, Daniel was taught the basics of both magic and science, of how the mundane and miraculous worlds worked. At the same time, however, it was drilled into him that his existence would be seen as an abomination by the Mages’ Association and that without Chaldea, he’d be killed gruesomely. This ensured that Daniel would see Chaldea as the only group which truly loved and understood him, confirming the boy’s loyalty.
Note however that his parents did genuinely care for him, making sure that whenever there were children his age in the organization, that Daniel had a chance to interact and play with them, whether they were offspring of other Chaldea members, designer children made by the organizations’ experiments (the inhumane nature of those were kept secret from Daniel), or even outright homunculi. This taught Daniel not to be prejudiced at people who could not control their biological origins, while at the same time entrenching his dislike of those who would dictate the lives and deaths of those people based on being artificially-created.
This suited Chaldea perfectly - It was true enough for Daniel’s consumption, after all.
But despite Daniel’s loyalty, he cannot have the wool pulled over his eyes forever, and the boy slowly began to have an inkling as to Chaldea’s darker side. But despite this inkling, his loyalty was merely tempered with a realization that a society or organization does not have to be perfect in order to be worthy of loyalty - Because perfection didn’t exist, and flaws can be repaired or mitigated, including Chaldea’s.
Besides, the Magus’ Association and the Church were far worse, right?

Magecraft: Stellar Alchemy - A form of Alchemy mixed with some elements of Astromancy which claim to distill the essence of the Stars, Moon, and Sun into potions which reflect some of the magical qualities of the celestial bodies. With this, one can make substances which explode into literal Star-fire, drugs which induce Lunacy or Lycanthropy (or suppress the latter) or even grant oracular visions...
Crest: Seven Generations.
Mystic Codes: Chaldea Master Uniform - A Mystic Code which allows for weak healing and reinforcement Magecraft which increases one’s physical capacity.
Alchemic Blaster - The Alchemic Blaster looks like a Toy Pistol from all outward observation, thus causing a double measure of contempt from Magi who already hate technology. However, the Alchemic Blaster does not fire bullets, but rather a liquid explosive which contains alchemical compounds along with mundane chemicals. The alchemical compounds, in contact with air, transform the liquid explosive into something resembling stellar fire which dissolves magical and mundane protection alike. Basically, a squirt gun that fires fireballs using alchemy.
Note that if the Alchemic Blaster is sufficiently cleaned-out, it can fire other, more beneficial compounds at people, such as healing potions and strengthening elixirs, as well as sleeping draughts and poisons.
