Generose
The oldest son of Beatrice Ziaty, and the older brother of Jeremiah and Mandela. Darlington had escaped with the rest of his family from Liberia after watching his father be killed in their home. Darlington joins the Under Seventeens Fugees. He is one of the more talented players and at first, he is competitive with another talented player, Peshawa, as they both vie for Luma’s preference. But when Luma treats them equally (not speaking Arabic with Peshawa, and inviting him to dinners with the Ziatys), they begin to work together to score, and the team is undefeated the following season.
