Darren Matthews

Darren Matthews is a lead character in the TV series, "Elemental". Darren is one of the five teenagers apart of the Elemental Warrior team.

Darren Lorenzo Matthews was born April 2nd, 2003 to Stephanie Crest and Terence Matthews. Originally from Illinois, Darren and his parents moved to Aldridge when he was just 8 years old. Darren's family suffered a tragedy after the death of his mother when he was 10. She supposedly died from natural causes (this is what everyone told Darren). After her death, Darren's relationship with his father kind of took a rough turn. His father barely spoke or got out of the house much. Darren was pretty isolated because of how protective his father was over him. He didn't really get out of the house his 7th grade year when he told his father he wanted to go out for the basketball team. Darren made the team with flying colors and quickly became a star player. This title brought a lot of love and hate towards Darren. One night after one of his games, Darren got jumped by a group of the other players as he was exiting the gym. This incident caused his father to enroll him in self defense and fighting classes, where he became a very skilled fighter. On the side of his athletics, due to stress, Darren took up smoking and hangs with one of the baddest drug dealers in Aldridge, DeAndre Baxter "or D-Man". This friendship comes as a dismay to some Darren's family members. As he entered high school, Darren had already made a name for himself in basketball. He made varsity in 9th grade and is now the starting point guard in 10th. He is in the top ranked 25 players in the country, a huge college prospect, and the face of the Northern Elite Basketball Association. Things were finally looking up for him considering his past. His family was happier and he was happier. Everything was going in the right direction, well that is until he discovered his hidden ability.
