**Desmond Isaiah Foster** is a minor character in *Perfect Without Flaw.* He was Cameron's father who died long before the events of the story. However, it was revealed that he was secretly part of a rebellious group who aimed to change the laws around the Flawed and their rights. Tragically, he was murdered by Beck before he could expose anything, but his will lived on indirectly through his daughter.

## Appearance

Desmond resembles his daughter, Cameron. He has short blond hair that covers one eye, hazel eyes and dark skin. When appearing, he had eyebags and slight stubble, possible forming due to the stress of his rebellious group. He wore a formal blue suit with a red tie. He was a Perfect, so he had ten markings on his face.

## History

Desmond was a Foster by blood, so he was affected by the Foster Curse, meaning he could not cry and was only able to have one child. He had a fairly normal life, marrying Marie Foster and having a daughter, Cameron. At some point, he found out about the rebellious group and joined it. Their goal was to expose how their Perfect society came to be, and use the CB entries to do it. Before they could, however, Beck found out about them and caused their secret location to be blown up, killing everyone inside, including Desmond. The only survivor was a woman named Olivia, who was not at the meeting.

## Personality

Desmond was very selfless and justice driven like his daughter. He did not see the treatment of the Flawed as fair and fought to change the laws, which ultimately led to his death. He showed a lot of love towards his family, even when their relationship began getting strained due to the amount of time he was spending away from them. Even when Marie accused him of infidelity, he reassured her that he would never do that to her and Cameron.

## Story

Desmond is mentioned a few times throughout the series. Marie tells Cameron that her father would be proud of her, on the day that Cameron takes her Perfect exam. On the same day, Cameron tells Edith about her and her father's inexplicable condition where they cannot cry. Unknown to her. this is also the first mention of the Foster curse.

Desmond is first seen physically in a flashback, on the last day he was alive. He fights with Marie about his late nights and attempts to reassure her that he just needs a little more time. He promises Cameron that once he has time, he will go to a photo museum with her. He then leaves the house for the last time.

Desmond arrives at the secret location, late. The group begins discussing how they will use the CB documents and expose the contents to the public. However, they are interrupted by someone they assume is Olivia, but it is actually Beck, who throws a powerful bomb into the room and then jams the door stuck. Desmond, panicked, orders everyone to go out the other door, but it is too late and the building explodes.

## Relationships

### Marie Foster

Marie was Desmond's wife. They had a healthy marriage before it became strained when Desmond started attending the rebel group's meetings. She accuses him of cheating, to which he truthfully denies. He assures her that he just needs more time, and when the "project" is over, he can spend more time with her and Cameron. Marie was left as Desmond's widow after he was killed.

### Cameron Foster

Cameron was Desmond's only child. They had a positive relationship, and Cameron was very upset when he died, although it was hard to show it as she could not cry.
