Lore & Background
The source article does not provide a separate lore section. The biblical figure Daniel is described as a noble Jewish youth of Jerusalem taken into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon. Most scholars agree that Daniel, as depicted in the Book of Daniel, was not a historical figure. He is considered a prophet in Christianity but not in Judaism. The Greek text of Daniel contains three additional tales: the tale of Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon (two episodes).
