Dan Cody is the man that showed Gatsby how to become rich in his get-rich-quick schemes. Gatsby met him by helping him tie down his yacht because a storm was coming and could have killed him. Cody took him in like if he was his son. He was involved in the transactions in Montana copper this is what made Cody into a millionaire.
Dan Cody dies later on and Gatsby inherits all his money but Gatsby decides to give some of the money to Cody's Mistress Ella Kaye. During him knowing Cody he changed his name from James Gatz of North Dakota to Jay Gatsby of West Egg Long Island.
Gatsby never drinks in his parties because of Cody. Cody was a mad drunk and an alcoholic he hated seeing him like this so he never drank to afraid to see if he was a mad drunk or an alcoholic.
