Character Information Character Name: Diego Hargreeves Played By: David Castaneda Original Canon: The Umbrella Academy
Personality: Diego spent most of his life being #2 to #1. As a result he is always working to prove to first his father and his siblings that he is good enough to be #1 and then later to himself that he's good enough in general. He has deep seated feelings of resentment about always being in Luther's shadow and this comes out more often than not through aggression directed at Luther. When he was a child he also stuttered, which set him apart from the family and was something he had to train himself to over come.
Despite not having any qualms about resorting to violence, and having a never ending well of anger to pull from, Diego is capable of being soft to those he cares about. He often says things that are as sharp and hurtful as his knives to either get his point across or to keep people at a safe distance. He is the most gentle and careful with his mother who is one of the most important people in his life. This is a clear indication of how highly he regards and cares for her. He is less gentle with his siblings who he tends to have more of a love/hate relationship with. This is most likely due to the fact that they were constantly competing with each other for attention and recognition from their father.
Diego can be ruthless and dangerous when fighting. He believes in justice and has taken it upon himself to operate as a vigilante outside of the law where he continues the tradition of wearing an Umbrella Academy mask. He may no longer be a member of the Academy, but he does fight for and believe in his family, even if they complicate things for him. Since breaking free of the Umbrella Academy and stopping his seeking for Reginald's approval he follows his own code of right and wrong. He is extremely self-disciplined and relies on his fists and wits to get by. He's not above mopping floors to make ends meet. His freedom far outweighs his comfort level.
Abilities & Skills:
Special Abilities; Being able to throw knives around corners/make them curve in flight. Holding his breath for a prolonged period of time.
Skills; Diego knows martial arts, boxing and is a skilled marksman.
Childhood: Diego doesn't know who his biological mother was and hasn't looked for her. He was always second best to Luther in Reginald's eyes and has carried resentment for that since he was a child. Nothing he did was ever good enough or impressive enough to get him that coveted role of #1. As he got older, this resentment and anger probably was taken out on his siblings more than once by getting into fights - physical and verbal. When he was younger he had a stutter and felt shame about it, which also added to his frustration and anger. His mother helped him overcome it slowly and her kindness and care served as a good counter agent to the anger he felt towards his father. That being said, when he was part of the team he worked well with the others. He was good at following orders and making his own on the fly when necessary. He truly believed that the Umbrella Academy was making a difference and saving people. And then Ben died and as he processed the death of his brother he determined that while serving and protecting others was important, doing it for Hargreeves (who he blamed for Ben's death) wasn't.
He tried to join the police academy but was kicked out, which led to him returning to his roots and becoming a vigilante, except this time without a team.
Present Occupation: Custodian/Boxer/Vigilante Present Residence: Boiler room of a boxing gym.
