Dano

Young, mouthy Terran-Red acrobat of Ephraim's crew, killed with a single punch by the giant Kavax during the abduction.

Story so far

Dano, the cocky young Red acrobat of Ephraim's crew, helps carry out the child-abduction, bounding through the crashed shuttle with a gymnast's ease and hauling the stolen Pax out over his shoulder after cutting the boy's lion clasp for a trophy. When he tries to draw on Ephraim for sparing Lyria, Ephraim faces him down—but the fight ends when the gas-slowed giant Kavax rises, shrugs off two of Dano's bullets, seizes him, and caves in the side of his skull with a single casual punch, killing him instantly. Volga is forced to torch his corpse to hide the evidence, and the memory of his egg-cracked skull haunts Ephraim through their escape.

Dead.
