Olivaw, R Daneel. Humanoid robot
constructed, 4920AD, in Spacetown on Earth
by Drs Sarton and Fastolfe.
Assisted Elijah Baley in solving the death of Dr Sarton
in 4921AD and again in solving the death of Rikaine Delmarre. He was placed in
charge of the "mirror-image" case which involved two mathematicians aboard a
Spacer vessel in which he solicited the help of Elijah Baley. In 4724AD he again
partnered Elijah Baley when the Earthman was requested by Aurora to prove the innocence of Dr
Fastolfe when he was accused of rendering the humaniform robot, Jander Panell, inoperative. Last to see Elijah Baley
alive. Joined the establishment of Gladia Solaria
after Dr. Fastolfe died. Independently postulated the notion of the Zeroth Law of Robotics. Together with Giskard, deduced that Amadiro
and Mandamus of Aurora where planning to increase the
radioactivity of Earth and thus make the planet uninhabitable. Unfortunately he failed in
his attempts to thwart the plan. Obtained the ability to control human emotions from
Giskard. Daneel did what he could, with his new abilities, to save Earth and its
inhabitants. At one point he tried to coerce the Galactic Empire to deliver
uncontaminated soil to Earth. When this failed he arranged for the final inhabitants
to be transported to Alpha.
Daneel, in his attempts to guide humanity, assumed the persona of
Eto Demerzel and maneuvered himself into the position of First Minister under Emperor Cleon I. It was in this position that Daneel assisted Hari Seldon in his Flight across Trantor and in realising his dream of
psychohistory. Daneel was quick to grasp the importance of psychohistory in the development and guidance of
humanity. In order to protect Seldon, it was Daneel who appointed Dors Venabili as his protector in 12020GE. In order
to create unrest within the Imperial government, and without realising the truth of it, Leskim Joranum accused Daneel of being a robot. An
indictment which eventually convinced Daneel to stand down as First Minister.
For many thousands of years Daneel tried to come to terms with the Zeroth Law of robotics until he engineering the
founding of Gaia. His plan was to
help humanity become a single organism and, thus, remove its abstraction. When he
considered Gaia mature enough he first maneuvered Golan
Trevize to Gaia in order to decide the future of mankind and then to his current
location on the Moon in order to bring
the hermaphroditic child Fallom to him where he could
make use of the greater capacity of the long-lived Solarian brain that was independent of
Gaia.
