'''Brian Danielson''' is the husband of [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria's]] cousin [[Erin Chambers|Erin]] (do not confuse with [[Brian Taylor (character)]]).
 
==General==
Husband of [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria's]] cousin [[Erin Chambers|Erin]] (do not confuse with [[Brian Taylor (character)]]). He apparently once worked in government intelligence, though in what capacity is unknown. He did not have his job long, however - possibly because Erin liked telling everyone what Brian did for a living - and was fired after his honeymoon. It is possible he was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA CIA] operative, though a more believable post would have been with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_Freedom Iraqi Freedom]) - there is also the possibility that he was outright lying about it and had another government role.

At some point, before (or possibly during) his relationship with Erin, he contracted herpes from an unknown partner.
 
In Season 5, his marriage was breaking down and it came out he was living off Erin's salary while studying for a real estate exam,. It was also revealed that he'd got her to sign a pre-nuptial that'd give him 50% of her assets if there was a divorce, and that they'd only gotten married because he'd given her herpes and she felt nobody else would want her. Erin wanted a divorce in "[[Aunt Nauseum]]" but Brian was able to talk her out of it after flying to Switzerland and they had a second honeymoon there. (It is often [[fanon|assumed by fans]] that [[Grandma Barksdale]] paid to send him there, to keep the couple together)
 
Erin wants a divorce in "[[Aunt Nauseum]]" and actually hires her aunt [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]] to start the proceedings, but Brian is able to talk her out of it after flying to Switzerland and they had a second honeymoon there.

Brian's last name was not revealed with precision in the show. It appears from the way Daria referred to the wedding in "I Don't" that his name is Danielson, as the bride's name almost always comes first in wedding announcements by convention. In some fanfics, Brian is known as Brian Chambers.

[[Rita Barksdale]] ''really'' hates him.
 
===Brian's work in government intelligence===
As Brian never expands on the details of his work in government intelligence, the field is open to speculation by fans. It is possible he was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA CIA] or other Intelligent Service operative. There is also the possibility that he was outright lying about it and had another government role.
