Maj. Duke Danton is an instructor and pilot in the Earth Defense Directorate in 2491 CE.
In his cadet years, Danton had been trained by Brigadier Gordon. Sometime later on, he and Wilma Deering were romantically involved, both early on in their careers at the Directorate. Due to Deering's relentless determination, the relationship dissolved and they kept their relationship strictly professional.
Achieving the rank of major in the Defense Directorate, he takes on the task of training new pilots in light of recent losses against the Draconian Empire, including Regis Saroyan, the son of Vistula's Earth-appointed governor, Tabor Saroyan. In 2491 CE, following the reanimation of William "Buck" Rogers by the Draconians, Deering and Rogers travel between Stargates as part of his introduction into the reality of the 25th century. It is on return from this exercise that Rogers and Deering come across Danton, and decide to intervene after Saroyan's Thunderfighter comes under attack by pirates, much to Danton's chagrin.
As hotshot pilots with many of the same qualities, Danton and Rogers clash with one another, culminating into "demonstrating" 20th century battle strategy via the use of various [[football] plays—which results in damage to a pilot training room in New Chicago.
Unaffected by the sickness plaguing the Defense Directorate's pilot corps, Danton is assigned by Dr. Elias Huer to the honor guard conveying Saroyan back to Vistula, so that the Directorate may make use of the opportunity to investigate the source of the poisoned food discs (BR25: "Planet of the Slave Girls").
