He has tried more than once. He had enjoyed Enoch, living like a God and had even fought with his sister Lathos to rule it. But it had been destroyed. He had tried again centuries later with his followers, but Marie and a few of the other clans had spoke up against him and the Clan Wars started. Darius thought he would win, but of course he did not. He would never underestimate his blood kin again. When the fighting stopped after the Diablo Sisters orchestrated that final battle, Darius fled. His warrior clans had almost been destroyed and he was furious. All traces of him disappeared and with the help of some dark and powerful friends, this included his face. Only his name remained the same. In hiding he learned all he could about the black arts, paid homage to his ancestral demons and planned the next time he would try to overthrow the existing Kindred power structure and make this world his own. Eventually he emerged from obscurity as the great teacher Darius, whom naïve Kindred would come to for tutelage, never knowing that they became pawns in his little game. He kept tabs on Lathos and Marie for it appeared that Magnus had not survived the great war. Of course the Priscus queen would be the first he would destroy.

Silently watching and waiting, Darius has built up his forces. He has become the whisper, the muse to some of the NY clans promising them everything, if they will follow him again. With Gabriella Vicenza, Darius learned the most about his prey and of the fabled triumvirate that would release the power from the other realm…the power that would help him rule. He also learned that Magnus, who was now called Adam was still alive. Darius had always hated the first born, wanted the power he possessed for the wanderer had taught him well, given him so much and he also played quite a role in breaking the thresholds that kept his demon gods at bay.

But it isn’t just the Priscus he wants to destroy or his sister, he’s convinced that all Kindred must die except those that will follow him. He learned from his past mistakes, and now uses others to begin the domino effect. He hopes that the cancer has begun to bloom in Gabriella, that she will betray the Priscus to the Di Nerezza or someone else and Canio or another will take the opportunity to destroy Marie and eventually the ancient clan.

No one…except maybe Lilith and his siblings know who Darius is and even Lathos and Adam will have to look twice. The rest of the world doesn’t even suspect which makes him all the more dangerous. He looks every bit the part of the wise Kindred teacher, whose reputation every one has heard. A Kindred magi per se. Until now. Darius has a few changes in mind as he comes to New York. Chaos should be not far behind.
