Darrius
(LAST UPDATE: 1/1/2009)

GENERAL/STORY:
A former Seidan Guardsman who became disillusioned with the oppressive nature of Seido, the Realm of Order, Darrius leads a resistance movement which seeks to overthrow Orderrealm's senate. He takes advantage of the strict laws of Orderrealm to manipulate individuals into joining his movement. One tactic is to have a Guardsman's family murdered, who will then retaliate and be expelled from the Guard. They are then ripe for induction into the swelling ranks. Others joined him of their own volition, such as the cleric of Chaos, Havik.

During Deception, he hires fellow former guardsman Dairou to steal the Seidan government's Declaration of Order, a scroll depicting its laws. It is also speculated that Darrius hired Dairou to kill Hotaru.

Though not explicitly stated, the similarities between Dairou's background and Darrius's method of recruitment seems to imply that he was the one to order the killing of Dairou's family.

REVIEW:
Midways design strategy for Darrius: Just make him look like Morphius from the Matrix, slap on a ninja-ish outfit and walaaah... a new Mortal Kombat character??? Pssh... It's obvious they came up with this character in about 5 minutes. His fighting style isn't very thought-out either, just seems "thrown together" much like the rest of the new MK designs.
