Darin Sanders

Darin was born the youngest child to Erik and Iliana Sanders. He remained quiet throughout his upbringing and was often out-shadowed by the wants and needs of his two older siblings Malcolm and Kim. Darin often fell victim to Malcolm's rage in several feuds throughout their youths - something which the Sanders family dismissed as harmless brotherly conflicts.
== Destruction of Family ==
Darin's life fell apart when he heard that Malcolm had murdered Kim's new husband Deon Walker in San Myshuno. After much evaluation and therapy, Darin realised he had always idolised Malcolm and been jealous of his brother. He reached out to Kim but she remained unable to face her family. Darin maintained a close relationship with parents Erik and Iliana until they sadly died of old age.
== Darin's Epiphany and marriage to Patrice ==
When Darin hit a certain point in his life, he realised how little he had achieved. He gained a newfound interest in finding a stable income and became a babysitter. He also scored a beautiful new girlfriend in Patrice Malone. The two decided to move into a nice Brindleton Bay flat together and subsequently married. Darin was very much aware of Patrice's lack of desire to settle down but proceeded to cling onto her and keep their marriage healthy. Darin became very flashy and enjoyed displaying his wealth. Shortly after Darin and Patrice's move, Darin's cousin Declan Mondragon and his wife Chaya Mondragon also moved in. Darin developed a deep desire to bear children and feared he was getting old so had to act quick. A much younger Patrice, on the other hand, was very hesitant with her stylist career flowing. Darin grew jealous of Declan when Chaya fell pregnant and gave birth to a son named Javier.
== Reunion with Kim ==
Darin was incredibly pleased when Kim, now living in Brindleton Bay and married to Arthur Barnett after a rollercoaster serious of events, reached out to him and organised frequent family meetings involving him. He developed a close relationship with Kim's grown twins Abraham and April whilst also helping to raise her and Arthur's toddler Bertie Barnett. Despite this newfound happiness, Darin felt something was missing from his life and became desperate to bear children.
== Darin and Patrice's Disagreement ==
Darin was terrified Patrice would leave him, but seriously wanted children and knew she did not. He tried to urge her onto his side but this only widened the rift between them. Darin suggested adoption but Patrice was still reluctant. Unexpectedly, Darin passed away from health issues without bearing any children, leaving Patrice with a tremendous guilt.
