==Summary==
Donovan was a half-vampire, half-human child. He and his mother were outcasts of their village due to Donovan's cursed blood. During his childhood, something caused his cursed blood to awaken and he killed everyone in the village including his mother.
He cursed his blood and went out looking for peace. He devoted his life to Buddhism, but, even after ten years, his heart could not find peace. During one of his travels, he met a girl named Anita. Her heartless, empty eyes told him that she was the same as he. Wanting to save Anita's heart, he set off with her to hunt all the Darkstalkers in the world.
Donovan uses a torturing device called an Iron Maiden to seal any Darkstalker he hunts. He gave it the name Brad Abrude. Inside it is also the severed head of the doll that Anita carries.
As he traveled with her, he found a Sword that was said to give off unearthly powers in the Tibetan mountains. This Sword granted Donovan more powers than ever before, but he also had to use large beads to contain the powers as well. Using the powers of the Fire, Lighting and Ice Spirits, he hunts the Darkstalkers as a darkhunter.
However, after succeeding in slaying many Darkstalkers, Donovan's body absorbed too much of their evil and succumbed to his dark side.
Stripped of his memories and now called Dee, he lives a meaningless life from the shadows of a castle, unable to resist the vampiric impulse of feasting on the blood of young women and feeling all the guilt of his actions at the same time.

Attack Potency: Small City level (As an S class Darkhunter, he is able to fight on par with B+ class Darkstalkers such as Jon Talbain and Anakaris. The latter was able to move the kingdom of Egypt to another dimension by pulling it down through the desert) | At least Small City level (Stronger than before due to having succumbed to his demonic side) 
Speed: At least Supersonic+, likely higher (Able to keep up in close combat with characters such as Huitzil, who makes large use of guns and various types of firearms) | At least Supersonic+, likely higher (Faster than before)
Lifting Strength: Class T (Comparable to Anakaris) | At least Class T (Stronger than before)
Striking Strength: Small City level (Able to hurt B+ class Darkstalkers) | At least Small City level (Stronger than before)
Durability: Small City level (Can withstand blows from B+ class Darkstalkers) | At least Small City level (More durable than before)
Stamina: High (Can sustain battles to the death with powerful, supernatural creatures. Superior to C class Darkstalkers, who can fight an entire army of soldiers just by themselves), very high as Dee (Due to having become a a complete demon)
Range: Extended melee range with Dhylec and summons, several meters with projectiles
Standard Equipment: The demon blade Dhylec, a giant string of praying beads and the torturing device Iron Maiden (These two only as Donovan)
Intelligence: Above Average (Donovan is among the best Darkhunters of the planet and one of the very few people that are able to efficiently fight high-class Darkstalkers, and managed to slay many of them before becoming Dee. He is a very skilled swordsman, able to use the demon blade Dhylec in multiple ways and summon different types of elemental spirits by channeling them through the blade. As Dee, he retains his skill, but with a few more techniques granted by his new demonic nature) 
Weaknesses: He is tormented by his cursed blood and by the fear of succumbing to it. After becoming Dee, he became weak to sunlight and doesn't have his memories anymore, suffering from knowing of having lost something important, without being able to remember what. Everything appears meaningless to him, therefore he has a negative and pessimistic perspective of existence and doesn't know what to do of his life, while overwhelmed by the need of feasting on young women's blood and feeling the guilt of his actions.
Notes: It is unknown if Donovan uses the Iron Maiden as a supernatural prison or only as way to physically execute his enemies.
