―Danny West

Danny West was a boxing trainer in Shoreditch who trained his best friend Eddie O'Connor. A boxing trainer for 20 years, Danny's concerns in his life are his gym, his boys, his gambling habit and making enough money to support all these things. He has got his hands in just about everything, from debt collecting to nightclub security, from racketeering to protection schemes. His habit has landed him in trouble and now that the Collins crew are calling the debt, Danny is one throw of the dice away from gambling his last.

2004

Danny West runs his own gym, and due to getting in trouble in debt with the Collins crew, he needed money fast. He arranged a team together so that they could rob a bank and make some easy money. Danny's team consisted of: Eddie, Errol, Arthur, John and Sam. When the job went wrong and Arthur and Eddie were captured, Arthur gave up the whereabouts of John before being killed by Alexei. Alexei then questioned John before killing him and John gave up Danny's whereabouts, telling Alexei that he was responsible for the theft of the icon. Alexei told his boss, Viktor Skobel this information. Viktor, Yuri and some of his men went to the gym along with a load of their men to kill Danny. However, when they arrived, the Collins crew were already there and had come to collect their debt. Jimmer Collins and his men then engaged in a shootout with the Russians. Viktor and Yuri escaped while their men continued to shoot it out with the Collins crew. Jimmer also managed to escape when Mitch and his team arrived in order to clean up the mess. Jimmer witnessed Viktor kill Danny in the Shoreditch gym massacre and would later unintentionally reveal this to Eddie. After hearing about Danny's death, Eddie swore to avenge his best friends' death, who at the time he believed was Jimmer Collins. When Eddie tracked Jimmer down however, Alexei and Yuri had already come for him and Jimmer told them that Viktor had killed Danny at the gymnasium and that Eddie, a boxer who worked for Danny, probabaly had the icon. Eddie overheard the whole conversation and realised he had been chasing the wrong man. Yuri then killed Jimmer and Eddie followed him in order to kill Viktor. In the finale of the game, Eddie finally avenged Danny's death by killing Viktor and finishing off the Skobel gang for good.
