Daniel Whitehall is a British intelligence agent also known as the Kraken.

An elite assassin and member of the terrorist organization Hydra also used the name and debuted in Secret Warriors #2 (March 2009). Writer/artist Jonathan Hickman stated in an interview with Comic Book Resources that "Kraken" is a new character. The other Hydra character with that name [Commander Kraken] was "a real b-list character and pretty lame. Our Kraken... has a long and elaborate history and we're going to be delving into that in a major way". Kraken is a legendary Hydra agent, whose existence had been unverifiable, until recently. Any S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that tried to find documented proof all disappeared. The Kraken preferred to work behind the scenes, seeing it as his mission to help people become what they are meant to be, usually with dangerous results. For decades he was responsible for developing Hydra's best assets, training their best talent. This involved a lot of human trafficking, theft, and murder. He was the head of the school that trained orphaned girls (including a young Viper) into human weapons. The current Kraken is actually the second Kraken not Daniel Whitehall, having stolen the original's identity by taking his equipment and reading his journals.

It is revealed that this second Kraken is actually Jake Fury, who had infiltrated the highest rungs of HYDRA to help his brother bring about its destruction.

Daniel Whitehall appears in season two of the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., portrayed by Reed Diamond. This version originally went by the name Werner Reinhardt and was a member of Hydra in 1945, prior to being arrested by Peggy Carter and the Strategic Scientific Reserve. In 1989, an elderly Reinhardt was freed from life imprisonment by Hydra infiltrators within S.H.I.E.L.D. and encounters Jiaying, an Inhuman woman whom he encountered during WWII and has not aged since. He dissected her in an attempt to find out why this was and transplanted her abilities to himself; restoring him to his WWII age and unknowingly becoming the target of Jiaying's husband, Calvin Zabo's, revenge. In the present, Reinhardt took the name "Daniel Whitehall" and took over as Hydra's North American leader. He also leads an effort to acquire a Kree artifact called the "Diviner" and utilizes Johann Fenhoff's work to brainwash people into Hydra's service, during which Whitehall clashes with a S.H.I.E.L.D. team led by Phil Coulson. Whitehall is eventually killed by Coulson, depriving Zabo of his revenge. Whitehall also makes minor appearances in flashbacks depicted in the season three episode "Paradise Lost" and the season five episode "Rise and Shine".
