Human Revolution
David Sarif wanted to have Hugh Darrow by his side during the augmentation hearings in Washington, saying that it would go much smoother with him there, given his popularity with the senators. Six months later, the two were talking via the holocomm, with Sarif accusing Bill Taggart, saying that his speech to the United Nations started the anti-augmentation riots, and pushed Purity First to attack Milwaukee manufacturing plant. Hugh Darrow does not have any augmentations himself, as he does not possess the genes that allow for compatability between the human body and augmented prosthetics. Because of this he is shares the view that neither augments or purists should decide on the fate of the human race, and it should be left to evolve naturally.
