His authority commands the City Watch, allowing him to manipulate investigations that threaten his allies. Throughout his arc, Darius embodies the corruption rotting the city's foundation. He collaborates with powerful guilds like the Calo, trading protection for illicit gains. This alliance blinds him to emerging threats, specifically the cunning of Locke Lamora and his crew.
