Appearance
While acting via remote double as Vice President on December 26th, he appeared as an aged man, with blue eyes and combed-back grey hair, in a green suit. In his true body, he was described as an old man with wrinkly skin, looking as desiccated as a mummy, with a tattered yellow cloak. The sand construct he was hidden in was in the shape of a feminine doll with exposed ball-joints and a metal mouth restraint like a dog muzzle, clacking open and closed, paired with one in the shape of Melzabeth Grocery.

Hawaii Invasion Arc
As the Vice President, he was present during Roberto's press conference in Oahu regarding the aftermath of World War III.

Los Angeles Arc
At some point after Anna Sprengel regained her body and created R&C Occultics, Darris came into contact with them and secretly allied himself with them, acquiring the magic and title of Citrinitas, the latter at least given to him by Anna herself.

Early in the morning on December 26th, Darris was present in Los Angeles as Citrinitas to defend R&C Occultics HQ, while remotely controlling a double of himself in the White House, involved in the correspondence between the American government and the joint Anglican-Academy City force involved in Operation Overlord Revenge, their counterattack against R&C Occultics. After tricking the President into giving the joint force the go-ahead prematurely, he used his magic in conjunction with the meteorological control provided by the Logistic Hornets to engulf the city in a giant sandstorm and trapped the city's population and the joint force in the sand.

Throughout the day, Darris continued to operate as Citrinitas in Los Angeles (at one point fighting and trapping Kanzaki Kaori), hidden inside one of a pair of constructs fashioned in order to place the blame for his actions on Melzabeth Grocery and acting towards that end, while accompanying and secretly undermining Roberto as the Vice President in the White House.

After the Sisters came to Kamijou Touma's aid in Los Angeles, facing the magic-hijacked Five Overs, he was exposed as a traitor when he fell for a trap in Roberto's speech and said something he should not have known. His treachery revealed, he ended up in a gunfight and clash of words with the President before abandoning his remote double.

At the same time, he was fighting Touma in Los Angeles, calling on the Logistic Hornets to engulf the city again. However, when he tried to have one crash after Stiyl Magnus disrupted the weather control, the Hornets began to reject his commands. Not long after this, Touma succeeded in reaching and defeating him, destroying his constructs and spiritual item, while he was also confronted with the reality of his position. With the core of his magic destroyed, the population of Los Angeles freed and Darris was subsequently arrested.
