Biography[]

Early Life[]

Darin Call was born in 1969 to Doris and Bill Jarvis. His mother died in childbirth and was not given a proper name by his father, who was a pedophilic serial killer who targeted young adolescent boys. Referred to as The Hollow Creek Killer, young Darrin was forced to assist his father in abducting, torturing, and killing countless teenagers. One day a victim named Tommy Philips convinced Darrin to give him the keys to the cage he was held in and allowing him to escape. Tommy attempted to bring Darrin with him but his father caught him and prevented him from leaving as well. Darrin however fought back and sliced his father in the face with his knife, allowing him to escape. The guilt from not saving Darrin led Tommy to become an alcoholic as an adult.

Darrin was found and put into foster care, and was given the name "Darrin Call". He didn't say a word for his first year of foster care due to his extreme PTSD, and eventually surpressed his tramatic experiences as an unwilling accomplice to murder. He was eventually prescribed Phenothiazine and Alprazolam to treat his trauma, but he had his doctor take him off these drugs when Darrin decided he wanted to remember. However, this would backfire massively as it caused him to lose what little grip he had on reality.

Haunted[]

Call is first seen attempting to refill his Alprazolam prescription after being without it for a month and presumably wanting to go back on it. The pharmicist however cannot find his prescription on file. Darrin, while in the midst of a flashback to his traumatic past, is angered by this and knocks down a row of pill bottles on a shelf. A stock boy attempts to intervene and calm Darrin down, but he notices his box cutter and has a flashback to his father threatening him with his knife. This causes him to take the knife and stab the stock boy in the throat with it, killing him. He then gets into a fight with several customers who attempt to subdue him, wounding two with the box cutter and killing a bank guard with a gun that he stole from him. He also tries to shoot the pharmicist and wounds another man with the gun before leaving for his doctor.

Call heads into the office of his state - appointed psychiatrist, Charles Cipolla, interupting a session with another patient. He begs Cipolla for his drugs back while fighting off his flashbacks. As the doctor tries to calm Darrin down, the patient attempts to flee and against Cipolla's warning, touches Call which causes him to stab the patient with the box cutter. Cipolloa reacts with shock before Call murders him as well. He then changes his clothes, takes his file from the filing cabinet and leaves.

Darrin then goes to the Stenor Orphanage, where he was sent to live as a child. He then goes the front door and asks the woman who answers about Mr. Cureton, a "nice man" who used to work there. After stating that Mr. Cureton has retired, the woman calls the children inside and tries to get Darrin to leave. However Darrin sees a reflection of himself and imagines it as being his father. This triggers another flashback and he grabs a boy named Ryan who reminds him of Tommy, slashing the wrist of the woman when she tries to stop him. He then hiijacks a minivan, which is a problem as Call doesn't and never has had a driver's licence or driven an automobile.

However Call still somehow manages to drive to his father's house, and confronts his father with Ryan. His father, Bill Jarvis, reacts calmly to Darrin's arrival, saying he always knew he would find his way back home. However as Call perpares to shoot Jarvis, SSA Aaron Hotchner, still tramuatised by his run-ins with the The Reaper, goes into the house unarmed and attempts to talk Darrin down by telling him that his father is too old and weak to hurt anyone anymore, and killing him would deny him and his father's victims justice. Darrin however refuses to listen, and shoots his father in the chest three times, killing him. Hotch however was able to get Ryan out of the house before this happened, allowing him to be spared this sight and any further harm. The death of his father finally frees Call from his flashbacks, and he stops twitching, stuttering, and overall adopts a much more stable body language.

Tommy then visits Call as he is being held in a police cruiser. He apoligizes for leaving him behind with his father, but Darrin says he has nothing to be sorry about, as Tommy allowed him to no longer fear his father and thanks Tommy for saving him. He is driven away as he looks on happily at the schoolchildren his father would watch when he could no longer kill. He is then presumably institutionalized once more.

Trivia[]

  • Call is inspired by multiple real-life serial killers:
    • David Edward Maust, a serial killer of boys who was abandoned by his unstable mother, raped by a boy in the foster system, and even later attempted to kill the aforementioned rapist, to no avail.
    • Gerald Stano, a serial killer of women and girls, mostly in Florida, having been removed from his dangerously unsafe birth home, after which his adoptive mother legally changed his name.
