Now he's paranoid. He believes that Tandi is out to get him. He's obsessed with revenge, and he wants Tandi dead. He's riddled with guilt 'cause he hid and lived, rather than dying with his gang... and the list goes on and on.Doc Jones

Darion is the leader of the New Khans raider gang in 2241.

Background[]

An older man with thin, gray hair, Darion is in good shape for his age. What keeps him going is hate and fear. The former is directed on President Tandi of the New California Republic, whom he blames for all the miseries in his life and then some. The latter is paranoia derived from survivor's guilt, fearing that the Vault Dweller would one day return to kill him.[2]

Darion is the son of Garl Death-Hand[1] and was originally a part of his father's war band, the Khans. When Garl made the mistake of kidnapping Tandi in 2162, Aradesh asked the Dweller to save his daughter. The Khans never knew what hit them and the war band was wiped out, breaking the Khans in New California. Darion hid during the fighting, the only reason he survived. This trauma was the foundation of all his future life.[2]

For eighty years, he plotted his revenge and rebuilt his gang, hiring mercenaries to replace the Khans who died. Some time before 2241, he became strong enough to occupy Vault 15 right under the Republic's nose, putting up a smokescreen in the form of the Squat under Zeke. He even managed to plant a spy right in the Congress Hall of the NCR. However, years of living under stress and paranoia had taken its toll. Although fit for a veritable ancient (nearing one hundred years, much like Tandi), Darion is a mental wreck. He has an enslaved doctor tending to him, trying to prolong his life enough for him to see revenge.[2]

The Chosen One denied him that luxury. Striking at Vault 15, they wiped out the New Khans and Darion, securing the Republic's expansion northwards.[3] In the end, Darion's fear was somewhat true, as the Vault Dweller's descendant was the one to kill him.

From him, you can find out that this gang of Raiders is none other than the descendants of the Khans, the Raiders who kidnapped Tandi in Fallout 1. Darion, the leader of the reborn Khans, is the son of Garl and would like to destroy Tandi for the havoc she, and your ancestor the Vault Dweller, visited upon his father's band of Raiders. After you learn of that from the doc, he'll heal you if you need it, as long as you haven't hurt any of the squatters (#1)."

They kidnapped this girl, Tandi, and held her for ransom. Her father didn't take kindly to that, and hired some merc to get her back. Darion was the only one to come out alive.}"
