History
Itsu, while in the last stages of her pregnancy, is murdered by Winter Soldier in an attempt to draw Wolverine out and return him to custody in Madripoor. Emma Frost would eventually, many years later, encounter his shadowed visage in a precognative dream. She promptly informs Logan that his son, whom he believed died along with his expecting mother, lives. After Itsu's death, a mysterious man wearing a trenchcoat that conceals his identity, cuts the baby (Daken) from his mother's womb and leaves her body lying on the floor. Daken is, many years later, revealed to have survived the horrible incident due to inheriting his father's healing factor.
Daken's personal motives are unclear at this time. Disguised as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, he brutally stabs Dum Dum Dugan and confronts his incarcerated father for the first time, before slashing him across the stomach and leaving him to bleed on the floor, as his mother was left, many years before. Daken is revealed to have "aided" his father's escape, though not for benevolent reasons.
After many adventures, including an affair with a man who was revealed to be an arms dealer, the case of a priest who was at first an ally but soon was certain that Cloak was a demon, and the complete failure of an attempt to reconcile herself with her mother, Dagger met her father, who had developped powers that were roughly equivalent to his daughter's, only more sinister, and thought of himself as a god. He finally realized that he wasn't and the evil he had done, and redeemed himself by letting Cloak's darkness kill him.
He is next seen in Berlin at the home of a woman he has been cruelly toying with. He allowed her to witness him kissing a man on a date, although unbeknownst to her he later murdered the man to acquire his passport. Knowing that she would drink an entire bottle of burgundy he secretly poisons it, resulting in her death. He had to end the relationship and her life so that no loose ends could be left to tie him to his crimes and he simply picked an unusually sadistic fashion to dispatch her.
While walking through the streets of Potsdam, Germany, Daken is then contacted by an anonymous messenger who reminds him of his displeased master's "ultimate goal". Daken then dispatches the messenger to yet again make sure to leave absolutely no trace of his presence. Later he appears on a train to Brussels, watching his father in a nearby stolen car. He then receives a phone call from an unknown "friend" (who is actually the recently resurrected Cyber), confirming his father's destination.
Shadowing his father into the bank vault in Brussels that contains the carbonadium synthesizer, Daken and Wolverine engage in a bloody battle, with Daken demonstrating great fighting prowess and similar speed and agility to his father. As Wolverine is hampered in the feud by his lack of desire to kill his son and his fading belief that Daken can be redeemed, he quickly loses the upper hand despite his greater experience and training. Their fight is interrupted when Cyber breaks into the vault and challenges Daken. It is then revealed that Daken trained under Cyber in the past. Cyber mentions that Daken is a better and faster fighter than he, and was his finest student. However, Cyber's imperviousness and greater superhuman strength make that a moot point (which he later clearly explains to Wolverine). Daken refuses to lead Cyber to his masters and flees the fight, leaving his father and his mentor to deal with each other.
Daken is last seen in the presence of Wild Child, and a scarred, expressionless torturer who whips him with a gasoline soaked length of rope. He pleads for mercy, but receives only a warning from his "master" to stay away from his father.
Daken had spent the last couple of months being tortured under observation by Wild Child, who is acting on orders from their mutual master, Romulus. Recently, Daken returns and cuts off Deadpool's hand before letting Wolverine fall into a water tank he was being held over by Deadpool and tells him to leave. It is revealed that the entire confrontation between Deadpool and Wolverine was a ploy by Wolverine to lure Daken out so that Wolverine could capture him (as Daken could not stand anyone killing his father but him). Wolverine called in a favor from Bucky who posed as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to hire Deadpool for the job. Wolverine then proceeded to engage Deadpool only to seemingly lose in the end to draw Daken out. The plan worked with Daken being immobilized by Bucky with a carbonadium bullet. As Wolverine leaves with unconscious Daken, he tells Deadpool, who has been handily beaten by Daken, to not take the entire scheme personally and that if Deadpool chooses to come after him, Wolverine would cut him up and eat him as not even Deadpool could come back from that.
