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:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“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)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
