You never should’ve trusted me…I should’ve just stayed home. I’m a Dino nerd who played a video game and I’m no good at this…
―Darius Bowman


Darius Bowman is the main protagonist of the Netflix series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and its sequel series, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. He is twelve years old in the original series and 18 in the sequel. He becomes one of the campers at Jurassic World's Camp Cretaceous after they are stranded on the island following the Jurassic World incident.

He is the son of Frederick and Mrs. Bowman, the younger brother of Brandon "Brand" Bowman, and the best friend and adoptive brother of Kenji Kon.

Background[]

Darius Bowman is a twelve-year-old boy in the first series and a young adult in the sequel. He was born sometime in 2003 to the late Frederick Bowman and an unnamed mother. Since he lives in a world filled with dinosaurs and humans coexisting with each other, Darius is fascinated by all of the prehistoric creatures that have been brought back to life. This fascination started with his father, and they especially enjoyed reading articles related to research and paleontological findings, especially those related to the doctor of paleontology Alan Grant.

Personality[]

He may be the youngest of the campers (at 12 years old), but Darius ifs intelligent, brave, selfless, and a born-to-be leader. After his father's passing, Darius became more determined to visit Jurassic World before the incident involving the I-Rex created by IGen. After this, Darius wishes to escape Isla Nublar and reunite with his mother and brother from the mainland. Initially, Darius seems to conflict with the brash Kenji Kon. After the two survived an encounter with Toro, the two had a begrudging respect for each other. Despite this, he remains a kind person. In season 2, Darius is still trying to be a leader of the others. He bonds more with his campers, particularly Kenji. Since his father's death, Darius has had no father figure in his life because his mother never remarried.

He is also fairly supportive of all members of his friends, willingly supporting Brooklynn and Kenji's relationship and being elated for Sammy and Yasmina after learning they had officially become girlfriends. Despite his status as a leader, but having to survive dinosaurs and being a leader has put a toll on Darius. In Season 2 he takes it upon himself to protect his friends, even willing to protect each other. Darius also feels guilty for telling Mitch and Tiff, who turn out to be big-game hunters, about the dinosaur watering hole. By the end of the series, Darius found himself becoming more responsible and has come to see Kenji as a brother, even convincing his mother to adopt Kenji.
