the fact he kills his own brother without even blinking stands out in-universe, even beings like Master and so on show some affection at times (albeit rarely) : Darin shows no affection or remorse, also unlike Ryan Darin is very much a slaver of the worst kind.

when confronted he mocked rather than tried to justify any of his actions, his reaction upon facing death was to simply provoke his slaves further and while the demons massacred their tormentors Darin was completely uncaring of the deaths.

Darin was also unlikely to have kept any promises he made and if he did make deals it was purely for his own benefits.

Ryan was very unfeeling, to the point I'd call him a "blank slate" - Darin was a psychopathic slaver who digusted (and more importantly surprised) a veteran vampire-hunter like Angel.
