"I would much rather be dead right now, but at least I have her... and puns. I have those too."
Personality: He's a lot saner than his brother. He's often in high spirits among his peers, however this is just a facade. He's very serious and depressed. He felt that he has been living too long for anyone. He realizes that this 'carnival' is a poison. He also is very tired when he is alone. He doesn't act depressed when his brother is around. He is serious, but seems happy when he's around. He doesn't know if his brother realizes that he wants out badly. He does have a touch of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, if things aren't exactly how they are supposed to be, then he becomes angry and lashes out at the offending person. When it is fixed, he is quick with an apology. Another thing he is known for is to make terrible puns. He's been around a while and he's heard them all. They are the only thing besides Alaska keeping him sane at this point. He does break the sacred rule very often... He calls Alexander, Alex.
History: Desmond was the younger of the two siblings. He always got looked over and people were always comparing him to his brother Alexander. He often tried to get out of his brother's shadow. It never worked however. He was always shown up. He resigned that he would always be second best to his brother. So he started being a follower. He even stayed when his brother started the Carnival. He was of course given second in command. He did however not like being there. Desmond often tried to undermine everything that his brother was doing. None of his plans worked however. That was until Alaska joined the Carnival. Alex took an immediate liking to her, but she choose him. Desmond couldn't believe it when it happened. He was sure that she would pick his brother. It always happened. People like him more. Desmond often wonders if the tunnel of dreams would work for him. He wondered if the tunnel would give him that release of this joke of a life.
