Personality
Daniel appears to be a very compassionate man, who is racked with guilt over getting so many guilty men set free, which resulted in his daughters death. This led him into alcoholism, giving up hope and to giving up his practice. He seems to have regained some hope and given up drink after meeting Sabrina-- perhaps because he believes Sabrina is the person who will finally cheat the devil.
