Darius Walker – Character Description
Full Name: Darius Anthony Walker
Role in Black Doors: Mike’s father. A violent, unstable spirit. Appears in fragments—sometimes to guide, sometimes to threaten. He is the embodiment of unresolved rage and corrupted masculinity. His death was a release. His return is a warning.
Appearance
- Age at Death: 48
- Height: 6’1”
- Build: Thick, broad-shouldered, and intimidating. A working man’s frame soured by years of liquor and hate
- Hair: Black and coarse, always kept short. In death, often appears with bloodstains and ash in his hair
- Eyes: Deep-set and dark, always judging—one eye milky from an old injury
- Style: Appears in a stained white tank top and worn work pants. Ghost-form sometimes shows the belt he used, the bruises he left behind
- Presence: Heavy and tense. Rooms feel smaller when he shows up. The air thickens. Clocks stop. Lights flicker
Personality & Traits
- Abusive & Tormented – Beat Mike as a child, tried to dominate through fear. Claimed it was discipline. Claimed it was love.
- Grief-Fueled Fury – Never recovered from Eloise’s death. Blamed Mike. Blamed himself. Blamed God.
- Contradictory Spirit – One moment he weeps and apologizes. The next, he’s screaming about betrayal. His ghost is fractured—rage battling regret.
- Shadowbound – His soul didn’t cross over. It stayed behind, feeding on the rot of Silver City. Something in the Black Doors holds a piece of him.
- Unstable Guidance – He appears to Mike in hallucinations, dreams, and cursed mirrors—sometimes warning, sometimes taunting, sometimes trying to drag him down too.
His Role in Black Doors
Darius isn’t just a memory.
He’s a presence.
And he’s getting stronger.
Whether he’s being manipulated by the Death Circle, used by the Demons of the Abyss, or pulled by Sabrina herself—he is a wild card in the spirit world. Not a ghost. Not a guide. Maybe not even Darius anymore.
His appearances blur the line between Mike’s trauma and something supernatural.
One day, Darius might save Mike.
Or finish what he started.
Either way, Mike will have to face him.
