Damario Palomares



Damario Palomares is one of the ensemble protagonists of the short run series Sunset Kills: Break the Darkness. At the beginning of the series, Damario is a demon slayer and a supernatural chosen one in New Gauntlet City, operating in Chantsville.

Damario has been struggling to live a normal life ever since his parents disappeared without a trace when he was sixteen years old. His life also changed drastically when he discovered a silver knife in his grandmother's belongings that embroiled him in the supernatural world that surrounds him and forces him to face powerful supernatural enemies.

Damario can be described as a dedicated student and protector. He is stand-offish, intelligent, athletic, protective, and overbearing at times. He can be vulnerable and hotheaded when confronted by things that challenge his interpretation of a situation.

Early Life
Damario was born on October 31, 1996, in Gauntlet City and lived there peacefully for 16 years with his parents, as well as his aunt Ramira. They led a quiet suburban life, free of the supernatural. However his life was turned upside down when his parents disappeared without a trace when he was sixteen. Ramira became his legal guardian and he moved in with her to an apartment across the street from the Vermillion Room Speakeasy.

When he was moving in with his aunt, Damario discovered a silver knife that belonged to his grandmother. Within hours of touching the knife, a demon attacked Damario and Ramira. Through the knife's power and an awakened spirit in Damario, he was able to vanquish the demon and save his aunt. Since that day, he has been put on a path to slay the demons that stalk the night.

Damario learned that it was dangerous to get too close to anyone when a man he was dating was killed by demons while waiting to meet up with Damario for a date. Damario now regularly patrols Rockwell Park, both to save new potential victims from demonic attack and to punish himself for the life he couldn't save.

Through interrogation of the imps, the group discovers that demons are flocking to Chantsville to witness a performance by the Twilight Orchestra at the Chantsville Concert Hall Gala later that week.

Later that night, Damario learns that Ramira has accepted a job performing flamenco at the same gala the demons were planning to attend. He promises to attend the performance, planning to put a stop to whatever plans the demons have in store for the evening and protect his aunt.
