n 2027 Darrow was informed of a plan by the Illuminati to install chips on all augmented individuals so that they could shut down the augments whenever they wanted, Darrow became involved and secretly modified the chips so that they also included a way to make the augmented people go insane.

Darrow later held press conference being held at a Panchea station which was apparently made as a way to combat global warming, When it was his turn to speak he executed his plan causing most of the augmented people in the world to go insane and begin killing everyone around them which led to the deaths of millions.

Afterwards he is confronted by Adam Jensen, the two proceed to engage in a verbal debate that Jensen may or may not win, after this Jensen has the opportunity to kill him immediately afterwards or after the signal is shut off, if Jensen leaves him alive it's not clear what happens to Darrow.

Darrow's plan was ultimately successful as it led to augmented people becoming segregated and legal augmentation was severely reduced if not completely stopped.
