Daniel Hagman was a Chosen Man with Sharpe's Rifle's. Before the war he lived in the countryside of England where he learned to use a rifle by poaching. Eventually however, he was caught and given a choice of joining the army or facing punishment (which at the time could likely be deportation or even hanging) He survived the war and returned to England, however he would later reenlist and fight at the Battle of Waterloo where he was killed alongside Harris whilst defending Le Hay Sainte. Hagman was portrayed throughout the series by John Tams, who also sings much of the folk music featured.
