"Something of vengeance I had tasted for the first time; as aromatic wine it seemed, on swallowing, warm and racy: its after-flavour, metallic and corroding, gave me a sensation as if I had been poisoned." - Charlotte Bronte |
Eyes: Green
Personality: Darien is all over the spectrum, and quite frankly, insane. At random times, unless he is preoccupied with work, he seems to suffer from visual, audio, and tactile hallucinations. When he is working, he is straight-laced, silent, cold and calculating. When not working, mostly he tends to look off into space or grin like he is going to cut your throat for saying even nice phrases, such as good day, to him. His smile, as much as his actions, reminds people of the Mad Hatter although he does tend to slink through the shadows, so for the most part, goes unnoticed. Due to this attitude, he doesn’t have many friends, if any at all (he really has no affection for anyone), but many enemies because he is insane enough not to care about the consequences of his actions. Brief History: No one, that he knows of and including himself, knows anything about him before October 31st 1608. On that date he found his wife Astrid, sleeping with Leo Redfern. Lost in a rage he grabbed Leo off of Astrid and pinned him to the floor, ripping his throat out. Astrid, not of good temper herself, pulled a wooden spear on her husband and stabbed him from behind, trying to save Leo. The stake went under Darien’s shoulder--clean through and missing any vital organs. Darien managed to remove the stake and plunged it into Astrid’s heart, watching silently as the light faded from her eyes. Afterwards, he walked over to Leo's still writhing body, and while the wounded vampire’s eyes widened in outrage and fear, pulled out Leo's left fang, then staked him through the heart. No one knows how Darien survived from his own stake wound, but some suspect a witch acquaintance aided him. He has been...well not right since this incident occurred. Adding to all of this, removing a vampire’s fang is a huge degradation to vampires and as such he and the Redferns’ have had a blood feud since. The fact that he wears Leo's fang as an earring also tends to make him a constant target. Strengths: His unpredictability. Darien is also an advanced fighter and swordsman. Weaknesses: Getting targeted because of his highly unusual and very insulting ear accessory. Quirks: Other then he is crazy? He tends to drink a lot and have conversations with his hallucinations, which many believe is actually the ghost of his dead wife, Astrid. Also, he can't stand for anyone to see or touch his most visible scar.
