Like I said before, I believe Darren is capcom's subtle way of putting Lao back (for now, I hope). His texture and colour is exactly what I thought Lao in newer games would looks like. The giant back plate that acts as 'weak spot' and the arms. So it's not surprising that they'd remix Lao's theme and put it back in.
