Biography[]
Season One[]
Clark Kent and Chloe Sullivan visited the Mansion to interview Lex about Level Three and other secrets that LuthorCorp were hiding. Before he could answer the question, Darius entered the room and told Lex his father was on the phone for him.
Season Two[]
When Dr. Helen Bryce moved into the Mansion, she took a tour to investigate the rooms. She came upon a locked room on the third story in the east wing of the mansion when Darius appeared behind her. She said she was looking for the solarium and Darius offered to escort her there. Helen then asked about the locked room but Darius stated it was off-limits because Lex had the only key to it.
Season Three[]
After Lex found Morgan Edge in Metropolis, he convinced him to confess on tape that he conspired with Lionel to kill Lex's grandparents. While Lex reviewed the tape at the manor, his security guard Darius informed him that his father had called again. Lex avoided the call and hid the tape behind his wall safe before an assassin bursts in and shot Darius dead.
After a brief struggle, Lex leaps out a window, badly twisting his ankle and sought refuge at the Kent Farm. Clark found Lex and offered to go to the mansion and retrieve the evidence in the safe. When Clark arrives there, he found the safe empty and the window repaired: a small shard of glass, however, was the only evidence of the break-in.
When Clark returned to the farm, he reported what he found to Lex who was convinced he was being set up and insisted that he had to find Edge to prove he's not crazy. They went to the warehouse where Morgan was but found it had been transformed into a sewing factory ran by immigrants. Clark and Lex returned to the mansion to search for clues, but they find Darius alive and well.
When his psychiatrist, Dr. Claire Foster, arrives, Lex consequently threatened to kill both of them for their betrayal. Eventually, Darius' double-cross was uncovered by Clark, who used his super strength against the guard in order to get the truth. Darius admits he's been spiking Lex's scotch with a hallucinogen. He then forces Darius to call his contact and tell him to meet him at the stables with a bag of money. Darius thought he was insane but complied and was never seen again.
