Evil Darius Jenkins is the main antagonist of Elevator to Nowhere, the 34th book in the Give Yourself Goosebumps series.
Overview[]
Evil Darius is an alternate universe version of Darius Jenkins and comes from a universe in which headhunting is a casual sport. An accomplished headhunter, he has won a trophy for the most heads collected within a year.
Biography[]
Evil Darius captures his good counterpart and puts it in a machine that shrinks his head. After that, Evil Darius goes to the main universe where the reader and Jamie Jenkins are. Having already killed his universe's version of the reader, he also wishes to get the head of the main universe's version of the reader for a matching pair.
In several of the bad endings of the A storyline (and one bad ending in the B storyline), the reader and Jamie are incapacitated (but, oddly, never killed) by one of Darius's inventions, allowing the Evil Darius to kill them. In the B storyline, you can also be killed by some of Evil Darius's inventions in the headhunter universe if you enter his lair. In the good endings for both storylines, he is killed by electrocution. In the A storyline, he falls for one of his own booby traps when he's under the control of the Captivator Helmet, and in the B storyline, one of the inventions of his good counterpart powers a disk that zaps him with a lightning bolt and reduces him to ash.
Appearance[]
Evil Darius looks the same as normal Darius.
Personality[]
In contrast to his good counterpart, this version of Darius Jenkins is a cruel, sadistic murderer who likes to torment his victims.
Trivia[]
- There is apparently another evil version of Darius in the Truants' universe, who created toys to hurt children. However, he is never actually shown in person, let alone met by Jamie and the reader.
