Complications:
Relationship - Derby is deeply in lust with Tats, in spite of (or maybe because of) her body art. She doesn't have any interest in him beyond professional partnership, though.
Greed - Darby wants wealth and is willing to do pretty much anything to get it.

Known Background: Darby used to be a petty theif and occasional kidnapper until the day he met Doctor Bettany and learned that he worked for CREST. Figuring that the scientist would be worth something to his employers, Kilauter kidnapped him and issued a ransom demand from the company. He was surprised when they responded with a refusal to pay, willing instead to hire a new nanotechnology specialist. In exchange for his freedom, Doctor Bettany offered to use his expertise to make a weapon for Darby to use. Grabbing his lucky derby, the criminal put the scientist to work. When he was finished, Darby had the most deadly bowler on the planet. Darby then used the hat to kill Bettany and set his sights on higher-profile crimes.

The Derby was created and designed by Jim Caswell. He is an NPC.
