Emmet Darland



Emmet Darland is one of the Bastion Suits of the One Concern. As with each of the suits, he shares a name with a region: the Darland Ascent. Darland is the most prominent Suit, making many appearances throughout the game. He appears to be the head of the Suits, as he sits in the head chair in the conference room atop the Bastion. He seems to be one of the few characters in the game with full knowledge of Him and his relationship to the Concern and the Planet, but he never divulges this information.

Escaping the Tower
One of The Tower's Pupils has escaped in a Hazard Armor suit. In order to completely brainwash the pupils, they are forbidden to go outside, lest they see anything of the real world. Darland sees to it that his disobedience is punished, and that he is made an example of for the other pupils. Robin observes a ChemiCo Contra member being forced by Darland and Mr. Chatter to use Mind Control gun on the condemned pupil. They then force him to commit suicide in front of the others as a warning against disobedience. They have difficulty controlling the pupil but are eventually successful.

Before the final events of the tower, he can be witnessed at the top speaking with Aisling Ferrier. Ferrier is concerned that He will notice the planet running out of Ivory. Darland assures him that the Escape Plot plans would be finished well before the Ivory was depleted enough for the Planet to start to crumble.

Searching for Elro
After Royal accidentally summons Him, the plans to escape must be accelerated. Darland addresses the One Concern Army in One Concern West, instructing them to quickly prepare Rocket B17. He lies, saying that it is needed to research a new type of Ivory found on the Small Moon. Before the meeting is over, General Chrome exposes the Escape Plot to the army. His betrayal prompts a fight between him and Agent Black. Darland escapes to the Bastion during the chaos.

Chaos in City One
When Robin arrives at the top of the Bastion, she finds him sitting in the head chair, getting shaken violently by Ferrier. Ferrier warned Darland about Him possibly coming early, and now it may be too late to escape.

The End
In the post-game, Darland is shown sitting at the top of the Darland Ascent. He has his suitcase with him and what looks like a head injury. What happens to him afterward is unknown.
