In 1870, Dario was living in an impoverished village in rural England. He was already displeased with the miserable conditions of his life when his [[Diego Brando's Mother|wife]], then about 16 or 17 years old, gave birth to a [[Diego Brando|baby boy]]. Believing themselves too poor to be able to care for the child, they carried the newborn into the mountains to bury him. Dario dug a grave, placed the baby inside, and filled the hole with dirt himself while his wife stood by.

Although Dario is never seen again, his abandonment played a considerable role in shaping Diego Brando's hatred for the world. At the farm, Diego and his mother were looked down upon with scorn because the absence of a husband effectively rendered Diego a bastard in their eyes,<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 30}} P.18.</ref> which was highly stigmatized in Victorian England. Diego directly blamed the farm workers' apathy towards his mother's suffering on that social stigma, and vowed to get revenge on all of them for letting her die, as well as his father for abandoning them in the first place.
In 1890, twenty years after Dario's abscondence, [[Hot Pants]] reported that he was still alive and that she could help Diego find him.<ref>{{Ch|SBR Chapter 73}} P.31.</ref> As an adult, Diego's vicious contempt had not dulled at all; the mere mention of his father caused him to scream in her face in a raw display of rage and pain. It is unclear whether Hot Pants was telling the truth about Dario's status, but the promise of being able to track down his father was ultimately what convinced Diego to partner with her.
