### Later Years

Not much is known about Doug's early adult life, other than that he became best friends with Rufus and joined an expedition team with him. He also developed a crush on Donna.

### The Expedition

Doug is first seen when the whole group is investigating the crater. Pepitone is killed during their first night which causes panic among the group. In an attempt to find a way to escape the island, Doug captains a motorboat and is accompanied by Mike, Luke, and Tyreek. It goes awry after The Omega causes the river to become unsafe. Coming back to the campsite, they find the rest of their group, and discover Donna has been killed. Doug, now fueled by anger and vengeance resents Mike, irrationally blaming him for her death. Doug leaves the campsite soon after with Rufus' shotgun, on a revenge quest to kill the Night Slasher, thinking he killed Donna.

Rufus finds Doug in the grand field using Mike's truck and questions what he is doing. Doug states he is after the Night Slasher. After a tense conversation, Doug points the gun at Rufus, but shoots the Night Slasher that was behind him. Doug and Rufus get back in Mike's truck and pursue the Night Slasher through the field. The chase continues into the Inner Island where the truck is disposed of and Rufus and Doug corner the Night Slasher. Doug proceeds to fight the Night Slasher and almost kills him, but Rufus stops him and they discover a sinkhole. The Omega emerges from the sinkhole and kills the Night Slasher, causing Rufus and Doug to return to camp and tell the others about what they've seen. The next morning, Doug, now armed with the Night Slasher's pickaxe, along with Mike, Tyreek, Rufus, and Luke explore sinkhole and find nothing. Upon returning to camp, they are ambushed by the Night Slasher. Doug takes cover with Rufus until the attack ends.

He goes out with the rest of the team to the Mobile Lab wreckage. Rashid contstructs a flamethrower using Rufus's shotgun and Mike radios the Coast Guard for help. The Omega attacks them soon after and almost drowns Doug, but Luke saves him. After a brief interrogation, The Omega causes an earthquake on the island, causing the group to hang onto a grappling hook chain to not fall into the trench below. Doug having belief that Mike can fight The Omega alone, cuts the chain causing everyone but Mike to fall into the trench. Down in the trench, Doug is berated by Tyreek about his recent behavior towards Mike, saying that it isn't fair to him and he shouldn't blame him for the death of Donna. Tyreek gets through to Doug, finally getting him let go of the guilt of Donna's death and motivate him to get off the island. The group then leaves the trench by a trail leading back up to where they fell. Once they are back up, Tyreek is thrown onto a sword by The Omega. Doug is among those who help him get up. Doug assists Mike, Samantha, Rufus and Luke in the final fight against The Omega. Once he is defeated, he begins to sink the island, causing Rufus to sacrifice himself to buy them time to escape, much to Doug's despair. The group takes refuge in a cave, where Doug finally snaps and releases his anger on Mike. Shortly after, Mike attempts to clear things up with Doug to which they both apologize to each other and mend their friendship. Afterwards the Coast Guard arrives to rescue them.

## Personality and Appearance

Doug first comes off as funny and a likable member of the group. He is also shown to be somewhat shy when asking Donna out. However as the film progresses, Doug becomes very vengeful, hot-headed, and rude to everyone around him (except Rufus). It is as if the slightest thing could set him off. He became very dead set on killing the Night Slasher and almost did so, having to be stopped by Rufus. He can also be very irrational, shown by cutting the chain during the trench incident. Despite this the group members do not give up on him and eventually get him to somewhat return to his normal state. Another notable thing about Doug is that he speaks with an Australian accent.

Doug is a Caucasian-Australian man in his mid-30's. He has a cut on his right cheek. He is shown to be very fit and have amazing stamina as shown to chase the Night Slasher for a long distance. He is an excellent fighter, shown when he fights the Night Slasher and triumphs. He wears the same outfit as Mike, Tyreek, and Luke.
