Fallout – Understanding Paladin Danse’s history

fallout-4

So I've found out that

Paladin Danse is a synth.

What is his history?

Where is the human Danse?

Best Answer

There is no "human" Danse. Danse was a Synth designed by the Institute, and most likely had his memories wiped (so he had no idea that he was actually a synth). What Namikaze's brought up in the comments is possible but so far nothing canonical has been addressed in game.
