Dan Mandel 🍰

Dan is an irascible man on a mission to avenge himself against anyone he believes has wronged him. Although he displays a superficial and brusque demeanor, he is actually overwhelmed by stress, becoming overly sensitive to minor everyday annoyances. Whether due to his low standard of living, exacerbated by unemployment, or a horrific and terrifying childhood, he has been recognized as unable to cope with this compounded stress. In stark contrast to how a normal, well-off person might deal with things, he, instead, takes matters into his own hands, and his solutions range from aggression to outright self-defense (which explains his actions once he decides he can no longer contain his anger). He also sets out to employ all necessary methods to stop the cause of this threefold agitation (on himself or, occasionally, on all of society) through his "revenge missions." Dan is an extremely short-tempered man, capable of becoming enraged by almost anything that... well... anything, really. He has terrible luck with anything mechanical and can cause significant damage unintentionally. He is very comical and childish, and Chris often calls him "a big kid." His constant unemployment and poverty cause Dan to rage, quite rightly, about the things that cause him the most pain. In many of his "missions," surprisingly, he is right with his outlandish assumptions. He can also be very sensitive, in both the negative and positive senses of the word. He can also be very tough, both in his emotional and psychological aspects.
