Damien Darhk

## Personality

Damien Darhk is arrogant, overconfident, immensely intelligent, cunning and calculating. According to many of his associates, he is not someone who could be caught off-guard so easily. He is a perfectionist carefully planning out all his schemes & expects his subordinates to follow through without any mishaps, thus killing them if they fail to perform their duties to an adequate standard. Though he is cold, cruel & ruthless, he does have a sense of honor & good morals. For example, he is against torturing innocent children & says it was a line he would never cross. He is also a loving husband & father. He cares greatly about his wife Ruvé & his daughter Nora, as he will kill anyone who dares try to harm them.

As a member of HIVE & The Light, Damien believes that the world is resistant to change & sees himself as one of many to bring about progress. He views his schemes as an act of mercy comparing it to putting down a dog on the street. Despite his supposed good intentions, Damien has shown that it would give him great joy to watch the world burn regardless if he thought it was for the betterment of humanity.

Despite normally being serious & cruel, Damien was shown to have a definite (and sick) sense of humor. He once grinned while mocking an ARGUS field agent whose life-force he was draining, declaring that it was fun & he could do it all day. His demeanor can be described as charmingly demented, as he is often quick to make light of whatever situation he is in, such as throwing in quips or comical references, regardless of the danger or gravity of what is occurring. This trait typically manifests through his smiling & jovial tone of voice at times that most people would consider inappropriate, unusual or creept. It was a rather unnerving trait that intimidates his enemies & befuddles his allies on a regular basis. Damien's ruthlessness was reserved for his enemies & keeping his subordinates in place. This did not extend to his HIVE associates or family.

Though Damien despises being treated as an underling or henchman, he had also displayed a willingness to work with others instead of a leader position to gain what he wants. While Queen Bee is the head of HIVE, Damien is clearly viewed as an equal partner.

* His wife was taken hostage by former HIVE foot soldier Alex Davis. He was once an protege of Damien's but felt Damien had since betrayed him. He held Ruve in the power supply & demanded that Damien surrender or he blew up Tevat Noah. Nora believed him to be bluffing as it would cause Alex's own demise but Damien disagreed. As Damien thought of a strategy, Nora decided to take care of the issue herself. She was able to free her mother but not before Alex hit the switch. As Nora tried to defuse the bombs from the computer, Alex stabbed her mother in the heart, killing her. In her rage, Nora subsequently threw one of her daggers at Alex, landing in his neck & he bled put to death.
* Ruve's death & Tevat Noah's demise prompted Damien's decision to cleanse the world of their sins.
