John Storm and Dan Hawk at the helm of the Elizabeth Swann, under missile attack from CIA

Dan Hawk is John Storm's best friend, loyal above and beyond, and the youngest crew member of the Elizabeth Swann. He is a computer genius and accomplished hacker; as it turns out. He also designs electronic circuits, especially for robots. But also for convenience electronics, by way of a hobby.

Dan feels the cold, so is not all that keen on the Antarctic, or the Sectasaur, who frightens John's companion sailor. He feels right at home with Kitty, providing intelligence and other support to Commander Storm RN.

When Jamaica, Spain, Panama and the United Kingdom, make claims against the discovery of one of Captain Morgan's thirty-six ships, in a location that John refuses to disclose, citing his Article 10 and 11 human right, as per the Universal Declaration, the right to a Fair Hearing, and to be Presumed Innocent, Dan is called on to hack the computers of the Claimants. Whereupon, Hal's analysis of their machines, reveals that they cannot identify the precise origin, or the makeup of any treasure trove that may be onboard. Nor the location of the wreck. This information is part of the reason John wins that case. Whereas, in 2011, one of Captain Morgan's ships, his flagship Satisfaction, was discovered off the coast of Panama, and became the property of the Panamanian Government. Notably, Peru and Mexico, waived all rights, happy that John would do the right thing.

'Dan' used his skills to engineer a custom CRISPR virus to modify Pope Peter Benedicts Pontiff's DNA. Whereupon the Pontiff recovers from stage 4 cancer. Being fed Solar Cola™ by way of boosting his immune system.

When Dan and John rescued the giant humpback whale; Kulo-Luna, she really picked up after they fed her a couple of crates of Solar Cola. John and Dan's favourite drink when they are parched.
