Biography[]
He and Captain Frye got their first mission under Hummel in Alcatraz when he took over the island and took hostages. Hummel even congratulated them, saying that they were the finest soldiers he had ever encountered, which caused the officers to thank the commander. But they became greedy because their "mission" was to force the US government to give them $100 million in cash; otherwise the team would launch VX gas rockets to San Francisco, thus destroying the city and it's whole populace altogether.
One night, as security around the island was breached, Darrow, along with other marines, massacres an entire SEAL team sent to retake the island by luring them into the shower room, and firing from an elevated position. After the battle, Darrow suggested that Hummel execute a few hostages for the SEAL team's interference, but Hummel (who secretly had no intention of killing anybody and was appalled by the SEALs' deaths) coldly refused.
The very next morning, when the deadline arrives and the money is not delivered, Darrow and Frye grow impatient and manage to convince Hummel to launch a rocket at the city. While leaving Darrow to aid Hummel and his longtime friend Major Baxter in delivering a final ultimatum to the US government, Frye authorizes his fellow soldier - Sergeant Crisp - to make preparations for the launch. a VX missile fires, but Hummel, who couldn't bring himself to kill innocent civilians, turns the missile off course to hit the ocean instead.
Darrow, angered by this, brings his other marines to see his commander. He then becomes outraged to learn that the mission was a hoax - as Hummel had no intention of destroying San Francisco or killing its populace - and thus no ransom will be paid. Just as General Hummel calls it quits, Darrow decides to launch the last VX rocket anyway and he kills the general with Captain Frye's help, although Darrow is injured.
In the lower lighthouse, Darrow prepares to kill Goodspeed with a knife, but Goodspeed asked if Darrow likes Rocket Man, the Elton John song. Darrow says he hates the song ("I don't like soft-ass s***!"), but Stanley says he brought it up because the captain was indeed the Rocket Man. Goodspeed then fires the last missile, which has had its VX payload removed, sending Darrow out the window, and the captain is impaled by a post, stone dead.
