I assume that Daniel had a bad back from all those years of relentless hard work.

But notice that when he's alone, he's not that slouched.

I don't know. Maybe it's just the demons trying to get out. lol

To come off as meek and humble; someone who isn't to be viewed as a threat.

Maybe to look like a man who has a bad back from years of hard work. So people think he works with his men or at least did at one point. Plus everyone he is speaking to probably has a bad back or bad something and it is relatable.
