* Regular Outfit
* Alternative Outfit

**Darius Dakota Redmark** (*Birth name: **William Encanto***) is a Main Character and a major ally in "*Miracula Luxia IV*".

He is a young man who hails from a noble and wealthy family, but decided to leave his lavish life behind, in the hopes that he can help other people instead of simply watching them struggle, as his family has been forcing him to.

In addition, he is also the adopted son of Erika Redmark- one of the greatest Archmages in Avernum who took him in shortly after his parents' untimely demise.

He serves as a main character in *Chapter V*.

## Overview

*A powerful mage and son of one of the most important people in Avernum, although only an adopted one. Although his past is almost unknown, it is no mystery that he is indeed a good person.*

*In order to help others, he left both his beloved mother and his revered home behind, embarking on a large journey to help whoever he can, no matter in what kind of a dire situation they may be.*

*The rise of Darkthrop has led him to believe that he can only be defeated in his soul is ripped off from the real world and banished into the ethereal realms. Thus, he made the decision to learn more about the spirit realm, eventually becoming one and the same with it and infusing his own body with incredible power, at the cost of leaving his own lavish life behind forever.*

*Recently, he learned that Adam Kaos- revered hero and destroyer of Darkthrop during the first war between his people and the heroes of this world- has embarked on a journey to come face to face with him. So, he decides to help him without a doubt, hoping that his knowledge would contribute in the destruction of Darkthrop... for good.*

***Will he accomplish his grand task?***

## Personality

Kind-hearted. Noble. Perhaps a little secluded.

Darius has made it no secret that he prefers to communicate with spiritual beings rather than real ones. Thus, people trust him less.

And yet, they still respect him as a hero, due to the fact that his actions help the world to some extent. Said respect increases drastically as he finally manages to get out of his shell and perform more and more of them.

After meeting Akira and agreeing to help her free her brother from Connor Freeman's grip, Darius becomes a much more level-headed person. He is wise, brave and always considers the possible outcomes of a situation before making his move.

Darius often advises others against making the wrong choice, such as when Akira wanted to launch a direct attack on the gates to avenge her brother- Adam. However, he is also shown to be relatively understanding, most notably shown when he agrees to play a valuable part in the events that are destined to happen.

## Trivia

* Darius's birth name (*William*) is of English origin. It means "*resolute protector*" and "*strong-willed warrior*",
	+ Darius's current name is of Persian origin. It means "*possessing goodness*", "*upholder of the Good*" and "*holding firm*".
* Darius's middle name (*Dakota*) is of Native American origin (*namely from the Sioux tribe*) and means "*friend*" and "*ally*". He chose it on his own accord shortly after he came of age because, to him, it fits his personality better than any other name ever could and also because it serves as a memory of his beloved mother (*Erika Redmark*) when he is away from her, with the clear intention to show that she is just as kindhearted and willing to trust others as he is.
	+ Darius is one of the few characters in the entire "*Miracula Luxia*" series overall who has a middle name.
* William is the first **AETHER**-elemental character in "*Miracula Luxia IV*" and the "*Miracula Luxia*" series overall.
* In "*Ready Or Not*" William's real name is revealed to be Darius Redmark, thus confirming that he is the adopted son of Erika Redmark, who took him into her family shortly after he became an orphan.
* William is the only character who originates from a noble family, but was not related to Adam or his allies before he was introduced.
* William Kaos- nephew of legendary hero Geralt Kaos and the son of his brother, Kaiden Kaos- shares the same name as Darius, in terms of his real name- William Encanto.
