| Darren Watts - President, Hero Games
Darren Watts was found wrapped in swaddling clothes on the front steps of a Hungarian monastery in the winter of 1821. Raised in a barn, he learned to read and write while serving as an apprentice to a cruel barrelmaker named Heinrich.
He ran off to join the circus at twelve and worked for many years as a contortionist and knife-throwing target. He learned the secrets of the fakirs and even today tends to turn invisible when his concentration slips.
He spent the late 18th century swindling wealthy widows in France and Denmark by claiming to be the lost Dauphin, which may actually be closer to the truth than he himself understands. In the mid-1930s he was shipwrecked on a small island off the coast of Mexico, where he developed phenomenal archery skills and found a silver wrestling mask that he wears everywhere to this day.
Most recently, he was written out of continuity in a big summer crossover event and came to work in the game industry. This is the only photograph we have been able to find of him, since he firmly believes that cameras steal the soul of their subject.
