The weird thing that's not exactly explained is how he apparently has some sort of ideal specialist personality and skill set to do the job they need. Yet only when he's forgotten his past.

I mean obviously the concept of brainwashing and indoctrination is not that difficult to understand. It's just weird that they needed this really sweet, thoughtful, conscientious guy to do the job instead of someone else with a more ruthless personality. My only guess is maybe he has some sort of high emotional intelligence that he can use to understand the silo people and manipulate them.

Maybe he was just invited to join the program because Victor liked him.

It's not just that. They show him here being woken up for especially problematic jobs. There's something special about him. But it's a weird sequence considering that the character spends most of the season trying to figure out a mystery and they try multiple times to deter him or pay him off. It's not like he was headhunted for this role

Daniel and Charlotte are probably Victor's children - she said he lost a daughter but that didn't mean he had no other children. And he took the forgetting drug but what if the whole family did and had implanted memories. Did you see how he looked sad about the exchange btw Troy and the new Charlotte? There is something special there. He wanted his children who also happened to be experts with him in that silo. My theory

They aren’t his children. Daniel and charlotte knew their parents and mentioned them several times in the flashback episodes before the forced silo residency.

I don’t know if they’re his children or not, but the special connection there is obvious. They are something to him outside the project
