At the beginning of The Bronze Bow, Daniel is very loyal toward Rosh and treats him as his hero. When he tells Joel about Rosh, he says he is a good man and the bravest man in the world. Daniel obeys Rosh's commands when he orders him to take care of Samson and when he assigns him to steal from the miser. He respectfully asks Rosh if he can go to Capernaum to try to recruit Joel to their cause. Chapter 8 states that Daniel "worshiped and feared Rosh." When Rosh gruffly orders Daniel to fix his favorite dagger, Daniel obeys, and when he moves to the village, he creates a band of men to be Rosh's army there.
However, in chapter 17, Rosh has been making raids on the homes of the villagers, stealing from fellow Jews like a mere bandit. Although Daniel wants to remain loyal to Rosh, he sees that the people are turning against him. In chapter 18, Joel is captured by Romans while performing undercover work for Rosh. Daniel goes to Rosh to ask him to rescue Joel, and Rosh refuses. At that point, Daniel disagrees with and argues with Rosh outright. Finally he says, "I am not one of your men. Not any longer." He leaves the mountain and Rosh forever at that point.
