History

Captain Darcy leads the elite British army squad, The Rifle Brigade. Schooled at Oxford where he played rugby and cricket, Darcy joined the Grenadier Guards and was posted to India in 1927. There he had a leading role in the suppression of the Bhajee and Popadom mutinies. Darcy was involved in the 1938 "Beef Curtains" scandal and was promoted to Captain after single-handedly defending Sidi Bugbug in 1941, refusing to surrender to Rommel.

Darcy's family earns a reputation for having its history of serving Britain's historical wars such as early as the Roman invasion of Britain, the English Civil War and the Zulu Wars. Also his descendants were leaders of the Rifle Regiment's predecessors. His present family in particular includes his brother Bobby, which Hugo finds him at odds with, his mother a alcoholic yet bold in her own ways, and his father who lost his limbs during the First World War and rants his war life.
