==History==
===Background===
Darius grown up in a city known as [[Bardusk]]. He has had two sets of parents. His second father, Angus McGavin became a drunkard, and he would drink an unknown concoction massively. Darius ran into Angus's room and started playing with his second father's loot. His second father came in and starting attacking him, but he was drunk, so he missed a lot. However, he still hit Darius, and scared him but Darius was determined to find this lute again. So the next night, he went into his second father's room and started playing with the lute. This time, his father wasn't angry. His second father started guiding him onto his quest to becoming a bard.

===[[The Unseen Rogues]]===
Darius is first seen aiding his fellow thieves in a heist on the local museum. He reports to the party that there are 8 guards on patrol that night despite the fact there's only 4. (Being a [[Dvergr Dvergr]] he double counted.) Darius aids this by disguising himself as the head curator, tricking one of the guards into leaving. Despite the heist's rocky start and Darius's sub-par disguise they succeed in stealing an antique vase. The party, upon seeing that [[Thea Mazing]] is missing, waits at a local restaurant for her to catch up.
The party then continues to their "Grandma" [[Mona]]'s house but are stopped by a band of unseen rogues lead by [[Chase]]. After a short tussle they not only defeat the band, but also convince a member of the organization ([[Lester]]) to join them. Unfortunately they also managed to smash the vase during the encounter. Mona is enraged despite Darius' attempts to form an excuse. While at Mona's house the party has to fight off an infestation of [[Hat Rat]]s. During the fight Darius finds a [[Blunt Saxophone]].
The Hat Rats being dealt with, Lester informs the party of Pit boss [[Omally]]'s (Mona's rival,) treasure. Which he hides behind a painting of a naked Kobold woman. They decide to wait until dusk for the plan. They pass time at a local Timmy O's where Thea and Lester decide to get married on a whim. [[Nate Tack]] preforms the ceremony while Darius serenades them with Saxophone music. The Party then proceeds into the Museum. Despite [[Neena Brando]]'s best efforts, she is unable to draw guards away. During the fight she finds an [[Vampire Locket]] and promptly pockets it.
The guards being dealt with the party takes as much gold as they can carry and then returns to Mona's house. There they discover that she has been beaten, and the house has been ransacked by Chase and unseen rogues member who plan on taking them to their boss Omally. upon arriving at the Rogues' Tower, Omally threatens Thea to kill Mona. When she refuses, Omally turns to Lester. Upon seeing one of his own having defected, Omally is enraged and begins to attack the party.

===Fate===
Darius was killed in the final combat against Pit Boss [[Omally]] after an attack by the pit boss was redirected by Neena's [[Lascene]] away from Thea. Darius was then resurrected as a ghost with the appearance of being coated in urine
by a magic trick from Thea.

==Trivia==
* [[Rob]] allowed Darius to use his [[Arcane Signet]] on [[Storyteller]] despite it not being a spell, because of Darius' specific build of having no weapons or damaging abilities of any sort.
* [[Coestar]] initially thought that Darius was a reference to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Twin Darius Twin], a shoot-em-up game for the SNES released in 1991.
* Darius is the second [[Characters#Main Cast|player character]] to die on screen, the first being [[Dankie]]. [[Penwar Lockis]] is suspected to have died, but this happened off-screen and is not canon.
** Darius is also the first character to have been resurrected by any means.
* Darius holds the record for the worst rolling character in URealms Live.
** [[Roamin]] rolled an average roll of 7.63 in [[The Unseen Rogues]]. If you discount the last 10 rolls (which were performed as [[Chase]]), this drops to 7.11. Considering that the expected would be about 10.5, with most characters rolling an average of 9.5-11.5, Darius is by far the most unlucky character in existence.
** In the final encounter against [[Omally]], Darius' series of rolls were: 3, 1, 1, 2, 2, after which he stopped rolling until he died, leading to an average of 1.8.
** In the entire campaign, if you discount Chase's rolls, Roamin only rolled a 15 or higher twice.
