Darren Mondragon

Darren was born in San Myshuno and lived his childhood in an apartment. The family was led by his great-grandparents; Nadine and Gilbert. He had been told that his father lived in Sulani. Darren had been praised by his family as the man to continue the Mondragon legacy, and felt a degree of pressure. He was saddened to learn of his great-grandparents' deaths. Since then, his grandmother Katarina monitored him and often pushed him to be a specific type of man, something which damaged him in the long run. He met Gracie Marcus, who had just come out of an explosive marriage with a son in tow. Darren and Gracie married and Darren agreed to raise Matty at his own, naming him Mondragon. The Mondragons were not pleased about this move seeing as Matty was not truly part of the family. Darren took up a career in acting. When Darren's mother, Tanya went to StrangerVille to reunite with Jasper, Darren was unsure, and stayed with Katarina. However, upon learning that his half-brother, Kenny had agreed to visit, Darren decided to travel there with his uncle Toby. Darren bonded with Jasper and things were looking up, until Katarina decided to move in too. Due to Jasper's worsening mental conditions and hatred of the Mondragons, he took drastic measures and tried to kill Katarina, but accidentally killed Toby in a struggle. The family mourned his loss as Jasper was sent to prison, leaving Darren heartbroken. Darren bonded with Kenny, his wife Colleen and their kids, Keisha and Clive. Eventually, Katarina died of old age. This gave Tanya the desire to continue the Mondragon legacy, and urged Darren to produce a legitimate heir with his wife. Gracie and Matty moved in and reunited with Darren. Gracie agreed to having another baby and gave birth to Declan Mondragon. This made for a big family celebration. Darren, Gracie and Tanya left StrangerVille to stay with Duane until his death.
