Dan Cooper (“Coop”) was born into a U.S. Air Force Secret Space Program in 1953 and trained for advanced intergalactic military service from the moment he could walk til he was deployed at age 17. Genetically engineered by Japanese geneticists in 1952 and trained throughout childhood in elite sword-fighting disciplines, he later served a full “20 and back” tour of duty (1970–1990) with the U.S.–German Dark Fleet. Renowned as a Kensei—a “Sword Saint”, on both timelines, a title reserved in Japanese tradition for warriors of unmatched mastery and spiritual insight—he fought in duels across multiple star systems in multiple galaxies and earned the respect of warrior societies who later pledged to protect him when he returned to Earth. Despite heavy pressure from the U.S., Nazi, and Draco command structures, Coop became a rebellious figure who openly challenged their refusal to release advanced technologies to humanity.
