'''Emile Danko''', also referred to as '''"the Hunter"''', |
'''Emile Danko''', also referred to as '''"the Hunter"''', was a former senior agent of the [[Department of Homeland Security]], who served as the leader of [[Danko's team|a team]] of soldiers hunting [[evolved humans]]. He was originally doing this on behalf of his superior, Senator [[Nathan Petrelli]], but since Nathan's [[Flight|ability]] has been exposed, Danko was left in full charge of the operation. He was framed by [[Sylar]], who [[Shape shifting|took on]] Danko's identity and killed some of his agents. After being given a [[compass]] by [[Joseph Sullivan]], Danko was killed by [[Edgar]], whom [[Samuel Sullivan]] had ordered to murder Danko and retrieve the compass before Danko could take him in. |

When two of [[Nathan]]'s bodyguards try to apprehend [[Donald Essex]], they are subdued by Donald's [[Water mimicry|ability]]. Danko sprays an unknown spray into Donald's face, which causes Donald to lose consciousness. Soon after, Nathan arrives and asks if Donald is dead. Danko says that it is hard to tell, and Nathan says to wrap it up and head back to [[New York]]. When Danko asks what to do with all the water in the room (which is actually Donald's dissolved remains), Nathan says to pour it away into the Mississippi River. |

Danko and his team capture [[Tracy]] at her home. He then tells Nathan that he has captured the first of them. Later, Danko gets into [[Mohinder]]'s cab, right after [[Peter Petrelli]] leaves it and forces him to drive to a car park where Danko's team is waiting. Mohinder overpowers Danko and starts to run away, but is intercepted by [[Noah]], who makes out like he is there to help but instead he brings Mohinder back to Danko. Danko delivers the posthumans to Nathan at an aircraft hanger and informs him of [[Sylar]] and [[Claire]]. |

After the plane crash, Danko orders an air strike, much to Nathan's frustration. Danko and Nathan begin to argue, with Danko comparing the [[evolved humans]] to rabid dogs, and that they must be "[[Death|put down]]". After [[Daphne]] is shot by Danko's team, Matt manages to [[Telepathy|control the mind of a soldier]] and escape. Danko manages to shoot the soldier, and capture Claire. He threatens Claire and blames her for the deaths of many soldiers, before pulling out his gun and almost shooting her in the back of the head. [[Nathan]] quickly stops Danko, and sends Claire home. Danko and Nathan argue again, and Danko continues to label the [[evolved humans]] as animals. When Nathan and Tracy meet out in the woods, Nathan secretly brings Danko and Noah; even though he promises to meet Tracy alone. When Peter reveals himself out in the open, Danko and Noah prepare to aim at Tracy and Peter. Noah is persistent in shooting Peter, and tells Danko that he doesn't have the proper shot on Peter. When Peter flies away and escapes, Danko is frustrated and stares at Nathan coldly before leaving. According to a [[:Image:Angolacoup.jpg|file]] Angela read, he was linked to civilian deaths in a Angolan coup. |
|||
When [[Tracy Strauss]] attempts to [[Freezing|drown]] [[Noah Bennet]] in his car, Danko shoots in the window, saving him. He proposes that Bennet and he team up to kill Tracy before she kills them and reveals that despite his operation being shut down, he's still hunting evolved humans. Later at an abandoned [[Building 26]], Bennet attempts to save Tracy, himself and Danko by removing Danko's memories of Tracy. [[The Haitian]] [[mental manipulation|erases]] his memories, but later Tracy approaches him in his apartment. Finding him with no memory of her she decides not to kill him. Danko then finds [[Edgar]] in his apartment who demands that he give him something. When Danko refuses, telling Edgar that he would never get it, Edgar [[Edgar's victims|kills him]]. |

Danko is in the control center of Building 26, discussing surveillance efforts and the status of their operation. He stares at a wall of photographs of evolved humans, while telling his men that Claire is "on probation" — for now. Nathan comes in and clarifies he wants this operation to be as gentle as possible, which is the opposite to what Danko wants. There is palpable tension between the two men. Later, Danko and Nathan meet [[Abby Collins]], who informs them that their operation is worrying the [[The President|president]]'s handlers, and Homeland Security are now overseeing their team. Danko resents the intrusion of yet another politician, while Nathan suggests a tour and talks to Abby alone. After [[Tracy]] kills [[Mark Leggett]], Nathan talks to Danko revealing that he knows Danko let Tracy escape deliberately. Danko says he did it to protect the agency. |

[[Tracy]] calls [[Noah]] over to [[Danko's apartment]], and he finds her crouching over Danko's body. She explains she had decided not to kill Danko when he had [[Mental manipulation|no memory of her]], but [[Edgar|a man]] arrived and killed him before she left. Noah notices all the wounds are around the stomach, and reaches inside, pulling out a key. He tracks the key to a safety deposit box that contained a [[compass]] which [[Samuel]] sent Edgar to retrieve. |
|||
After Noah being drugged by Peter, Mohinder and Matt, Emile Danko becomes concerned that Noah hasn't checked in, and orders his team to find him. Nathan is surprised they are having Noah under surveillance, but Danko also reveals they are doing the same to him. Danko says Noah and Nathan's connections to Claire Bennet and Peter, who they have been somewhat partial to, compromises their decision making. At the storage unit, Peter begins procuring weapons and gear, all the while being watched by Nathan's agency due to a security camera. Danko has his men move in, but Peter manages to distract them with a flash grenade and flies off with the weapons. |

Matt decides to discover more about Danko, and delves into Noah's mind once more. In a flashback one week prior, Noah is seen paying a visit to Danko's house. The two seem to be at odds, but Noah assures him he'll obey his orders. Peter flies off to confront Danko, while it is also shown Danko's men are mobilizing outside the hotel. Before Danko can give the order to move in, he is stopped by Peter. Danko tries to get Peter to shoot him to prove his point that people like him are dangerous, but Nathan arrives at the scene (Danko is surprised how he got there so quickly). Peter shoots Danko in the arm, but Nathan warns Peter that by killing Danko he will effectively be writing a kill order on all people with abilities. Nathan also informs Peter of the imminent raid on Matt and Suresh, causing Peter to fly off. Danko then orders his men to move in. |

Noah formulates a strategy to counter the telepaths, and Danko helps capture Parkman. |

Later, Nathan has made a deal with his brother - all of the information that he stole in exchange for Parkman and [[Daphne]]. Danko manipulates this deal and turns it into a trap. When Peter arrives to make the exchange, Danko looks on through the scope of a sniper rifle. He takes a shot at Peter, causing him to stumble over the edge of the roof. Danko watches on in disbelief as Peter appears to fly off unharmed, likely unaware that it was Nathan who saved him. |

In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 401|chapter 1 of The Agent]], [[Rachel Mills]] learns about Danko and is compared to him while in training.

Rachel is told to report to him for orders and finds him talking with [[Nathan Petrelli|Senator Petrelli]]. The senator is arguing with Danko that the detainees are going back into custody--that they are not assassins, but Danko says that the detainees should be killed.

Rachel recalls that Danko has had her searching through some old websites, stuff that used to be run by people with abilities.

Some of the agents started looking at Danko differently after the incident when one of the fugitives broke into Danko's apartment, but Rachel Mills didn't, so he rewarded that loyalty with an assignment following day. Danko finds Rachel Mills and Jason at the shooting range and tells them to get their gear together--that they need to be on a plane to [[Costa Verde, CA|Costa Verde]] in fifteen minutes. When Rachel prompts him with questions, he explains that their mission is to find and capture [[Alex Woolsly]]. In addition, Danko informs Rachel they think that Alex had help escaping them before, and that the [[Claire Bennet|cheerleader]] is in the same town. Regarding the cheerleader, he instructs Rachel to inform him if they can find any evidence that the cheerleader is involved, and await further orders. He then leaves, walking out the door. |

In [[The Agent chapter summaries#Chapter 406|chapter 6 of The Agent]], [[Jason]] recalls delivering a message from Danko to [[Rachel Mills]] the first day he met her. Later, after witnessing Rachel use [[teleportation|her ability]], Jason tells Rachel that he promised Danko turning Rachel in would go smoothly. Rachel replies that is a lie and that if Danko knew he would be there with a SWAT team, hoping Rachel would make a break for it so he could kill her. Rachel adds that she thinks Danko will kill her after making her suffer. Jason says he thinks she is wrong, and Rachel responds that is cause he is not like Danko or her. |
