Darrius made his debut appearance in Mortal Kombat: Deception. He is an ambitious, calculating, and unscrupulous character whose intricate schemes further his own ambitions. To his followers, he is a revolutionary and visionary. To his foes, he is a terrorist.
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.

Signature moves
Tricky Blast
Darrius does a 180° turn and releases a bluish projectile towards his oppponent.
Twisty Kick
Darrius dashes forward a bit while he performs 3 spin kicks in succession. This move is taken from Cyrax.
Chest Cruncher
Darrius sidesteps then dashes and punches his opponent on the chest, knocking them down.
Target Practice
Darrius performs a dash punch that doesn't travel as far as the Chest Cruncher, but is a low attack.
