Magnus Dan or just Dan is a hero of the Druids, who had powerful magic and swordsman abilities known over the lands. Eventually he grew too old to fight, but also felt that the demise of Druids was drawing nearer, so he required someone to succeed him. He sent a test to many Sentinels and Vikens. However, when they returned, only a few survived and those that did were too frail to receive his legacy. All hope seemed loss, until Dan took note of Ryan, and immediately picked him as the successor, and entitled him as the Vanquisher of evil. He also gave Ryan the ability to change himself into Dan's form.
