Talk:Dark Passenger/@comment-1846457-20110913145023/@comment-87.153.47.124-20121008161742

When identifying the "dark passenger" solely as that which drives a person to do evil, I'd have to say NO. Even despite the cruel things Doakes supposedly did while in Black Ops in his first career. He was acting on orders there and shows signs of compartmentalisation towards what he had to do, which climaxes in him argueing with Dexter while being held captive and, after the Kill, displaying a behavior similart to that of Harry on discovering Dexter killing a human. So: No, not a dark passenger of that quality in Doakes.

Yet, when identifying the dark passenger as that which makes a person obsessive and compulsive and following a personal logic (their own "code") despite of conflicting input from outside sources (let`s call it "sane reasoning"). Then yes, his obsession with Dexter (even if rightfully so) is a display of such a quality. But so would be Lundy's insistence on the existence of Trinity and other such hunches. Maybe that trait and the trait of "dark passenger" stem from the same psychological source?
