In death, Dan had become a different man, a better man (or skeleton). In the pursuit of redemption for his ignoble death, he was able to overcome his cowardice, facing Zarok's fiercest monsters, including the sorcerer himself. He had also become more selfless and heroic; he saved the imprisoned [[The Town Mayor|town mayor]] and a group of [[Captured Farmers|captured farmers]] from Zarok's henchmen and made sure to not harm the possessed inhabitants of Gallows Town. In other words, he had finally lived up to his legend. This transformation of character was fuelled by the mocking comments of Gallowmere's [[Information Gargoyles|gargoyles]] and [[witches]], as well as the [[The Heroes|heroes]] from the [[Hall of Heroes]].
