Dan Cody was one of the minor characters of the text. In Chapter 6, the narrator mentioned that Dan Cody was "fifty years old then, a product of the Nevada  silver fields, of the Yukon, of every rush for metal since Seventy-five". And it was the moment when Jay Gatsby first encountered him. The narration continues about Cody, mentioning that the "transactions in Montana copper that made  him many times a millionaire found him physically robust  but on the verge of soft-mindedness, and, suspecting this  an infinite number of women tried to separate him from  his money".
