Christopher Danton was a male Human scientist in the 20th century.
Biography[]
He served in the United States Marine Corps during World War II, where he was twice wounded and received citations for his bravery. Following the war, he attended Yale University, and after graduating in 1948, attended Harvard University. There he earned doctorates in particle physics and applied thermonuclear energy. Sometime after 1961, he joined Project Hercules, an effort to develop enhanced fusion technology.
As of 1968, Danton was married with two daughters. He voted for the Republican Party candidates in the presidential elections of 1956, 1960, and 1964.
In 1968, Danton shook hands with Aegis agent Gary Seven, who posed as a scientist overseeing final procedures of the enhanced fusion bomb test. Two days later, Danton completed a checklist from the control room just prior to the test, and used binoculars to spot project lead Diana Winters at the cooling tower.

- Danton's birthdate would make him only twelve years old when the United States entered World War II, and fifteen when the war ended. Beta Five's brief biographical synopsis also gives his graduation date from Harvard as 1942, which would seemingly conflict with his age and wartime service.
