## Biography

### Pre-Timeline

Darius Slayton was born in the Plains, mostly living in the Plains Town. From a young age he learned the psychology of the human mind, becoming well knowing with the mental behaviors of people. He soon used this to manipulate and hypnotize people to do his bidding. He attempted to take over the Plains Town with this, but failed and was banished.

### Season 3

Darius's debut comes in the third season, when he uses his charm to seduce Orianna. Brenov shows up before Darius can completely get Orianna under his spell, as he disappears. He later breaks into the hill house that night, abducting Reimi and leaving.

He also stabs an underground into the wall with knives, writing a warning message in blood to tell the Main Cast to get out of town. When they don't, Darius prepares to invade. When Marcus Green and Stasia go to rescue Reimi, Darius uses his psychic powers to mind control them, as he uses the controlled Reimi, Stasia, and Marcus Green to fight Marcus Mariota and Morgan Aldane.

Mariota manages to knock Stasia out, but is stabbed in the back by a hypnotized Marcus Green, nearly killing Mariota. Darius laughs at them, telling them they could leave to avoid all this.

The following day, Darius and Khabib lead an attack on the town. During the battle, Darius dual wields two scimitars, fighting Brenov. He manages to eventually trick Brenov into a bad strike, before stabbing the man with both swords. He then gets in a brief fight with Orianna, before she is forcibly removed from the battle.

Darius claims victory over the town, preparing to take over New Louisville next. Darius succeeds in this, and joins Marvel and his forces for the battle of the Criscoras bunker.

Darius fights in the battle, where he begins to attack Morgan with dual swords. He stabs her in the stomach, killing Morgan's unborn baby. In response, Morgan burns Darius, before Marcus Mariota comes in and beats Darius to death in anger for the deed.
