Haruto Miyano

**Daryll Dupain**, one of the supporting characters in Scarlet Swan, is a 27-year-old doctor residing and working in Barcelona. He was the doctor who suggested cryonics to Felipe Gonzalo's parents in order to preserve him, and he's the creator of IRIS, the lab assistant, and Jaxon Taylor, genetically engineered clone of Jack the Ripper.

The doctor is portrayed by Haruto Miyano.

## **History**

Doctor Dupain is a friend of the Gonzalo family, and when they told him Felipe Gonzalo has progeria, Dupain had the idea to turn to cryonics to cryopreserve his body and slow his age down, if not forever. After cryopreserving the boy, he created IRIS to be Felipe's lab assistant as a detective in the future when he wakes up. The doctor has also been trying to recreate Jack the Ripper in order to teach him modern times, being a huge fan of the killer ever since his case have been solved only by 2004. When he succeeded, he named the clone Jaxon Taylor, only to be killed a few minutes by the hands of his own creation.

## **Personality**

The doctor seems to be eccentric and gung-ho, often siding with good and justice rather than the bad- despite wanting to clone a serial killer. Even though he has a poor way of showing it, his intentions are good and he's eager and determined to "change" the future with his inventions.

He's also a very loyal friend especially for the Gonzalos, who trusted Dupain with their only son with a disease without a cure. He also seems to have a good relationship with Felipe himself, who in turn trusts him, albeit scared.

## **Physical Appearance**

Dr. Dupain has neatly-combed and chin-length black hair with sideswept bangs hanging by his forehead, and his eyes are colored gray. He's measured to be at least 5 feet and 8 inches tall, and he has a lean and slightly muscular body structure. He wears a semi-formal outfit under a white lab coat; sporting white dress shirt, a dark blue waistcoat, black necktie, and black slacks. Other times he's only wearing a black shirt and jeans under the coat, and an occasional stethoscope around his neck.

## **Trivias**

* Like Miles Meyer, Jaxon Taylor, Ava Everett, and IRIS, Daryll Dupain wasn't an original character from the HM Minis and was only implemented and introduced in Scarlet Swan.
* It was planned from the very start that at least a colleague or friend of Felipe Gonzalo was going to die first via Jaxon Taylor, and that friend is Daryll.
* Despite only having 16 minutes of screen-time for the whole 45 minutes of the film's runtime he's considered to be a supporting character, passing IRIS whose only a voice since it's a computer-programmed lab assistant.
* His last name "Dupain" means "of the bread" in French, and he mentions once that his family owns a bakery. It's also most likely that he didn't want to be a baker like his parents and pursued his dream of becoming an inventor.
	+ Daryll's medical knowledge is wide, but he isn't a *medical* type of doctor- he's an inventor and a scientist.
* He's based on Tadashi Hamada from Disney's Big Hero 6.
	+ IRIS is a lab assistant based on Baymax.
