Daniel Nox

Daniel Nox is the last protagonist introduced in The Human Game. He is one of the players.

Personality
The unluckiest player of the bunch. Not only has he lost his keycard and thereby the entrance to his room, but he's also a walking disaster who can't walk three steps without falling down or accidentally breaking something. In the worst cases, such as when he was running from Seth, who recently fell into despair, he'll trip and fall on top of his crush, Kate. It should be noted, though, that he isn't hated by fans.

Role in the story
Like it says in the beginning, Daniel Nox is the last protagonist who is introduced in the story. However, he appeared way before he was properly introduced, but only partially. He was first seen by Kate Greenwood who only saw his legs. He was introduced last on purpose, because he even dislikes being himself.

As such, Daniel was not present on the first main meeting, but met Cancel on the second meeting instead (much like Abigail Faust). Like Kate, he got punished by Cancel too and was forced to wear a collar the rest of the story.

While he tags along with the rest, Seth Turner Sato takes him apart and pushes him Camilla's room in. He threats him and interrogates him because he thinks Daniel stole something unspecified from him. After these painful minutes, Seth suddenly says there is someone calling him and walks away. Daniel tries to follow, however, he loses his way quickly enough.

When he sees what happened exactly after Seth walked away, he ran back to the group and crashes into Kate. When he gets up, he painstakingly explains what he saw and what happened. Camilla opens her door with a sigh and a confrontation between the group and a nullified Seth appears.

The group flees into a room, but the danger is some time thereafter averted. Joe urges him to get away from the door, and when he hesitates, he is slapped by him. Daniel continues to be in the background of the story.

Kate Greenwood
Daniel has a hopeless crush on her because she helped him once when he made a large mistake that almost cost his job.

Joe Verger
Daniel is a great fan of Joe's poems. He cannot decide whether Pollux or Ash Hearts was the best.

Camilla Lloyd
He is acquainted with Camilla in a much lesser sense, having bought a book from her once. When met with her again, he cannot recall her name correctly.
