History
| “ The Masons are not innately stronger than any of the other characters in the Red Faction universe. Their power lies in their ability to "change the conversation." As one of the old families on Mars, they have been around longer than almost anybody else. Their words and actions carry weight. When they speak, people listen. When they strike, people join. „ |
The people of Mars had few heroes and fewer pieces of their past. The Masons - From Ray, who fought alongside Parker against the Ultor Corporation, to Alec, who defeated the EDF - were an amalgam of Washing, Jefferson and Adams rolled together with the fighting spirit of the Minutemen. Darius is the scion of this legacy, though he never asked for the responsibility or wanted it. He just wanted to be left alone to live his own life and not the one Mars had seemingly demanded of him.
He might have succeeded in avoiding the "Mason destiny" if not for the Cultists. While doing his tour of duty for the colony as a solider/engineer, Darius was unable to stop the White Faction's Adam Hale from destroying the Terraformer, the great machine originally palced on Mars by the Ultor Corporation to allow for breathable air across the planet's surface. The Martian atmosphere quickly deteriorated to the point that not only the caverns and deep places of Mars were more sustainably habitable. While the Colonists didn't necessarily blame him for the disaster, his guilt ate at him and he was never as comfortable with them as he once was.
