In his ending in Vampire Hunter ( Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge), Donovan sacrificed his humanity in order to protect Anita. He flies at his enemy and emits a large ball of lightning against his foe in this state.ĭonovan's ultimate fate is a sketchy subject. He can also temporarily revert to his true form as a Darkstalker, a dark skinned human-like demon with yellow hair and wings. With both Dhylec and his prayer beads, Donovan can summon gods from Buddhist and Hindu mythology (though the wind god in the Press of Death attack appears to be from Greek mythology) to fight alongside him. When they are swung, they give off an aura of blue and white energy. His large prayer beads or japa malas can be used as a barrier or can be swung towards enemies. He can also ensnare opponents with his psychokinesis, suspend them in the air, and slam them on the ground as seen in his grab attack. His psychokinetic abilities allow him to levitate Dhylec off the ground and can even ride it through the air. Thus, Donovan became her guardian, and Anita has kept the headless doll ever since.ĭonovan's primary attacks utilize both his martial arts training and his large demon slaying sword, Dhylec. He welcomed Anita to acompany him not only to find herself but to aid him in battle, as she had some unique abilities as well. Donovan subdued the attack and told her that anger was the most easily summoned emotion, but that this was proof that she could still heal her own heart. Anita responded with a violent psychic force. Taking his sword Dhylec, he sliced off the head of Anita's doll. The people told him that Anita had never exhibited any kind of emotion or said any words since her family was slaughtered by a Darkstalker. Donovan easily dispatched it, and turned to the villagers for an explanation. As Donovan came onto the scene, she was threatened by a monster.
On one of his journeys, Donovan came across a young girl named Anita. His reasons are spiritual in that hunting the dark gives him a meaning to his existence, to protect others from the dark, and maybe even cleanse himself of his tainted blood. He does not hunt for profit like Baby Bonnie Hood does. The Darkstalkers' arrogance may have been their undoing with the creation of Donovan.ĭonovan is a Dark Hunter but is not part of any official organization of dark hunters. Combined with his powerful telekinetic abilities, his strength, his mental discipline as well as the power of Dhylec and his spirit beads worn around his body, Donovan became a force of justice to be feared by all evil.
This sword had the unique ability to channel the spirits of various elementals and gods for use of their power. Along his journeys as a wandering monk, he learned many things, and eventually came into possession of a gigantic magical sword known as Dhylec. Donovan is a man who seeks an answer to his cursed existence. Donovan wandered the world for a long time, following the teachings of Buddhism in an attempt to control his massive power as well as inner turmoil. The end result was the death of everyone in the town, including his mother. One day, a terrible event occurred in his hometown which had something to do with him. His true origin is unknown, however it is known that he was shunned as a child for his tainted blood. These go unused, and the game simply plays the move's startup frames in reverse as a recovery motion instead.Donovan is a Dhampir, the offspring of an affair between a vampire male and a human female.
