Dan Kessler--and he is nearly always referred to by the entirety of his name--is an electronic music playing hippy. What he plays is as similar to techno as Nine Stories by J.D. Salinger is to Penthouse Forum.

He grew up in the mountains of upstate New York, playing in unchlorinated waters and seeking out perfect moss patches.

Despite the assumption of passersby, Xen and he are in no way related.

He was a very good friend and occasional band mate of Zack before Zack vanished with some of Dan's equipment.
