Pre-Foundation
Darkling was born in Russia, with not much family or friends other than his parents and his cousin, Jenny, and a friend named Nora. Darkling's father wasn't the greatest, drunk most of the time and abusive to Darkling. This continued for the first 16 years of Darkling's life until he found the Crimson Box. He was then introduced to Crimson, the spirit that would be sharing his body for the foreseeable future. Crimson was more than just another voice, but would periodically take control of Darkling and kill people in the night, attempting to recover the power that he once had long back. This string of murders, along with video evidence, soon caught they eye of the Foundation. They quickly contained him, sending him to a containment cell that he would be staying in for a while.

Containment
Darkling found himself in a cell under the supervision of Dr. Derzker after his capture. For the first few years he was contained Darkling was in constant pain from tests, going in and out of his demonic form, and unhospitable living space. Derzker did not help in any of this, in fact he mainly made it worse, for more than what the Foundation asked of him. To put it plainly these years were living hell for him, because all the Foundation saw was a beast, and the Ethics Committee is a joke. Soon though, an incident brought a new light to Darkling. Derzker had been in Darkling's cell, without security personnel. Darkling, with his abuser in front of him, took the opportunity to attack. This led to the cocky Derzker being taken off duty and a new man put in charge. William. William was one of, if not the first to see the human still in Darkling. He decided instead of learning Darkling's abilities, he would try and help Darkling control it, to ease his suffering. And so Darkling slowly started to learn how to use, or really limit, the abilities he had. It took up the other half of his time in containment but soon he was human again. He showed promise with his understanding of other anomalies, and soon earned himself a role as a researcher.

Foundation Employment
Dr. Darkling was more than another keter anomaly, but proved to be a great researcher. In less than three years he earned his level-4 clearance. He mainly works on SCP-049-K, or Vivi, whom he sees almost as family, and two other SCP's. He has been reunited with his friends, Jenny and Nora, through rather strange coincidences. Jenny, a D-Class, and Nora, his therapist. Jenny is not allowed to be terminated to make sure Darkling contains Crimson.

Anomalous Characteristics
Being an anomaly causes certain affects on a person. And for Darkling, these are quite apparent. For starters, he has grown permanent horns on his head, red eyes, and a tail. A more internal affect on Darkling was his curse to love someone else unconditionally. This was Dr. Nana, and it would only dissipate once that person loved him back. This has happened, and has been resolved. Another physical one is the fact that Darkling can enter two other forms than human, though they remain unnamed by the Foundation. The first, his berserk form, Crimson has total control, and will kill without regard. The other is named his demonic form, where Darkling is aware and in control.
