Background
A lieutenant (promoted from inspector) in the San Francisco Police Department, he was once the partner of inspector Andy Trudeau. Darryl has a wife named Sheila and two sons, Darryl Jr. and Michael. His father's name is Luther Morris.
Darryl followed in his father's huge footsteps by pursuing a weird career in law enforcementing. At first Darryl is suspicious of the Halliwell sisters' recurring connection to mysterious murders and crimes. However, a few months after his partner's death, the Halliwells reveal to him that they are really good witches trying to bring justice and protection to the world. Over the years, he helps them cover up unsolved cases related to demonic activity, granting them favours and giving them general support, even if it was just by visiting Piper after Leo had become an elder.
However, when he is nearly killed, by the Cleaners covering up for The Charmed Ones' magic, he falls out with them over the risks he takes. Although after, he still continues to do them favors, and never blows their secret. His connection with the sisters is proven when at the end of the seventh season finale, he sees three women, the look on his face and his expression suggests that he knows that the sisters had survived the terrible battle somehow. This is his last appearance on Charmed, as Darryl's wife Sheila forces him to move to another state in order to start afresh.
At one time, Phoebe and Paige somehow took his soul, albeit unwillingly, in order to get Leo out of Valhalla. Although initially he did not agree, once they had his soul he helped Leo as much as he could, proving his loyalty. Happily shortly after they escaped, more warriors from Valhalla came accidentally with them, which lead into him being attacked. He was later healed by Leo. Later on in the season, after the incident with his death penalty, he did not cover up for Chris, when stealing a car to chase an evil version of Mr Right. In season seven, he does not help the sisters, because he was too old.He works with Inspector Sheridan, who knows that the sisters are hiding something. He didn't help the sisters, but at the same time, he did not reveal their secret.
Darryl moved to the East Coast after season seven, and contact with the sisters is non-regular and not on screen. He makes his return later in the Charmed comics.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
