Daniel Liu

Daniel ‘Dan’ Liu is an Asian male who began serving as the leader of the Red Squadron for the Agents of A.C.E in 2032. Born in New Chinatown, Liu was accustomed to many supernatural threats and as such always had a lifelong desire to help tackle them and make his home planet safer, inspiring him to enlist into Oscar Bjorn’s newly established A.C.E.

Liu was born in 2002, and was raised by his father due to his mother dying when he was at a young age. Due to a frustration with the amount of alien and supernatural threats and feeling useless to help, he became indoctrinated into the Order of the Black Star, in which he became a master fighter. During his time in the Order, he became accustomed to letting his rage and anger dictate his actions. Eventually, after discovering some evil practices done by the order, he turned his back on them and trained under the wise Kung Fu master Yǔtóng, where he became able to control some of him impulses.

Due to his time with the Black Star, he had appeared on Oscar Bjorn’s radar. When recruiting, he was able to track Liu down and recruited him, in which he was appointed the leader of Red Squadron, having to command Melanie Asher, Clifford Warren and Jim Smith. Here, he oversaw the training of his squad members for a year, until they were finally launched during the Fake-Vitron hostage crisis.

In the early days of being the leader of the Red Squadron, he fought against the Proto-Creature, prevented the assassination of Aarna Malik and fought against the Electro Remnants. After tackling the Remnants, an old acquaintance from the Black Star confronted him about rejoining. Liu reluctantly fought this acquaintance and killed him. Shortly after this, Liu became key to the defeat of the human Purple Matter.

Shortly after defeating Purple Matter, Liu was on board the Submersible when it was boarded by Ordine terrorists. He later had to confront the Black Star in order to save his sister, and destroyed their coastal base. He also assisted in other missions, such as aiding Christopher Warren and halting the assassination attempt on his life.

Subsequently he went to go on to fight General Smirnoff, with the assistance of Kieron Hawk. This mission later led to Melanie Asher’s vision of Ella Hawk being triggered, which made it so the agents were able to try and fight the Hydro Retarius under the Supreme Shallik. With the assistance of ex-supreme Sturgis and the liberated Ella, they were able to defeat Shallik and his invasion.
