Elder Dalton

Elder Markus James Dalton is, at first, the deuteragonist of the 2000 LDS film God's Army. He is the companion of Elder Allen. He is the son of a widowed man named Gene Dalton. He is the one who teaches Allen the rules of being a missionary, but he is not a real health nut. Eventually, he has cancer and is hospitalized, yet he is determined to serve the rest of the mission; at one point, he and Allen give a blessing to a crippled Benjamin Yao, and he is healed.

Eventually, Elder Dalton dies in the hospital and is replaced by Elder Downey as Elder Allen's companion.

Elder Dalton was portrayed by the director Richard Dutcher.
