**Derrick Eckhart** is one of the main characters in ***Villains Are Destined to Die***. He is the eldest son of Duke Eckhart and Penelope's adoptive older brother. He is one of the Love Interests in the game *Daughter of The Duke - Love Project*.

## Appearance

Derrick is a tall and handsome young man with black hair and blue eyes, characteristic for the Eckhart family. He is mostly seen wearing elegant and expensive clothing, usually in nuances of black, blue and gold, although he can also be seen wearing his armour while patrolling with the Eckhart knights and an all black hunting suit during the hunting tournament.

## Personality

As a nobleman, he is very prideful and can also look down on people. For example, when Derrick learns about Eckles' origins, he mocks the slave and the fallen kingdom of Delman. Because he is the heir of the Eckhart dukedom, he is always concerned about his family's reputation. Despite appearing stoic, he is actually very emotional. It is shown when Penelope got separated from him during the festival he looked everywhere for her in the capital and came back to the dukedom with a desperate face.

After losing Ivonne at a festival, he isn't as joyous as before and becomes a very controlling person. Indeed, after Penelope's official adoption to the Eckhart family, he's the one who mostly punishes her whenever she would cause trouble. However, he always and still accuses the past and current Penelope every time something could taint the family's name. This shows that Derrick is a very abusive man, both verbally and emotionally, always tormenting the girl.

As the story progresses, he becomes more controlling and possessive towards the current Penelope. It is later revealed by Ivonne that he acts this way because he's in love with her and gets jealous whenever his adopted sister interacts with another man. However, whenever he gives her something in hope that she would smile at him, Penelope only hates him more and grows distant towards him because he always hurts her over and over again by always blaming her over every problem. While his controlling behaviour comes from his romantic feelings, he also acts this way in fear of repeating the same mistake of losing Ivonne.

8 years after the main events of the story, Derrick becomes a loving uncle toward his niece Judith. Even though she looks like her father Callisto, he tries to talk and smile gently at her, and spoils her a lot like Duke Eckhart and Reynold.

## History

### Hard Mode

While dealing with Derrick in Hard Mode, if Penelope chose to address him as her "Brother", his Affection Score would decrease. The protagonist thinks that this is because Penelope was so detestable to him that even being addressed that way was repulsive. She decides to never call him her brother again realizing this.
