Douglas is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Marcus) of "sins of the Father" and the deuteragonist of Redemption and "And Then There Were Four" and tritagonist of "Power Play" And a supporting character in "The Future Sounds Like Us."

Crush, Chop and Burn (mentioned only)
Douglas is only mentioned when Donald tells Rose that Adam, Bree and Chase are his brothers' kids that he adopted after he died in a volcano.

Redemption
Douglas is the deuteragonist of the third book, with the title of the fic, "Redemption," refers to how Douglas became a good man. The story's split between Douglas and Leah.

Despite his past with Leah, Douglas goes to her when Victor Krane increasingly becomes a threat. Leah initially refutes and shouts at him for sending Marcus after her, calling him out for kidnapping her, nearly killing her and Douglas and trying to turn Chase against her and their family. Leah agrees to do as Douglas says. He later confronts Krane, but is unable to finish him off when Donald Davenport returns with his rescued wife and daughter and tosses Douglas out, despite him just saving Adam, Bree, and Chase.

Douglas appears again, where he unintentionally sees Chase and hifighting g h on theirte da because of a mission alert. In the end, Leah refuses to come with Chase and Douglas approaches her and stays with her so she isn't left al because Krane could attack them both if they were alone.

Power Play
Two years later, Leah and Chase thrive at the bionic Academy and in between and then there were four and Power Play. In between the unexplained two years between the events of And Then There Were Four and Power Play, Douglas reconnected with his son, Daniel, the Fourth bionic kid that he had secretly created and made Leah his son's mentor. On one of their missions, Leah Dooley (now eighteen going on nineteen) and Chase are separated from their siblings, Douglas joins Donald and Leah's best friends, Taylor and Logan in the search for the missing siblings and successfully find Adam and Bree but Leah and Chase are still missing. They find Leah and Chase afterwards.

Four weeks later, Leah approaches Douglas because something is wrong with her bionic arm and her arm capsule does not seem to be working, and she keeps glitching. As Douglas checks her arm, Leah feels nauseous from her morning sickness and vomits, he asks her what else is bothering her. She also mentioned that her menstrual cycle was a couple of days late and that she and Chase spent time together. Douglas figures out that Leah is pregnant with Ella and she is left pondering what to tell Chase. Initially, Leah's boyfriend is reluctant to do so and joins Donald and Rose, who want the baby aborted in great fear that it will affect Lea's body since it already did so. However, Adam, Bree and Tasha disagreed and sided with Leah.

Douglas wanted to stay neutral until Leah points out that he was hurt when Donald stole adam, Bree and Chase and inside what it would be like for her if Donald took her baby away from her. Douglas joins her side and encourages Chase to be there for his kid because Douglas couldn't be there for them.

Douglas got into an argument with Bree, as the former hoped the baby would be a boy. However, Bree wants the baby to be a girl because they only have her, Leah and Naomi as the only girls in the family.

Later, as Leah and Daniel are talking to each other when Leah goes into labor, Douglas takes her to the hospital when Marcus (rebuilt) attacks them and stole Leah. Douglas saved Leah from giselle Vickers, and he tried carrying her to the hospital but she knows that her baby is coming as Chase continues to fight droids with his brothers and sister against Marcus. Douglas calms her down as Daniel comes and holds her hand as she gives birth.

In the end of the book, Leah and Chase have their child, and names her Ella Theresa Davenport.

Douglas questions why she gave the baby Perry's middle name, and Leah glares when Douglas said "I'm kidding kid." She explained that she did so because she doesn't want Perry to kill her if she find out the back wasn't named in honor of her.

Personality
Douglas was once a cold, uncaring, selfish, and childish. Donald reveals that Douglas wanted to turn bionic superhumans into supersoldiers, more specifically, children. He also had no qualms turning Adam, Bree, and Chase into bionic superhumans of mass destruction, selling them to the highest bidder, whether they be dictators or mad Men. Leah and Chase note that Douglas and Donald act like children. Though he had a father/son relationship with Marcus, he didn't seem to care that Marcus would burn out before he was sixteen. However, he told the other kids not to tell him that and wanted him to believe he was getting a new car.

Despite his negative traits when he was evil, Douglas still cared for his bionic children. He did what was best for his youngest creation, Daniel, by giving him up for a chance at a normal life and he did take on a stray dog, otis, giving him bionics to save his life and he saved Chase from an avalanche (in this case, however, Douglas was attempting to manipulate Chase) and later protected the Lab Rats from Victor Krane saving their lives once and stayed with Leah after her failed date with Chase, and claimed her to be his niece. When he did capture Aram, Bree and Chase in "Sink or Swim," he wanted to use them for crimes while wanting to develop a family connection with them, like making Mondays family game nights.

According to Jane and Ella, he's a good father now, but he tries too hard to bond with his son's girls because of the past bad blood between their families.

Abilities

 * Genius Level Intellect: Douglas is considered one of the smartest people in the world. It was he who made Adam, Bree and Chase and gave them their bionics in the first place. He was also able to hack Eddy, Davenport Industries, and Donald's bank account all without being caught. Douglas has lots of intelligence on bionic abilities and he has shown capable of giving Chase his Laser Bo ability, Adam's Pressurized Lung Capacity, and Bree ability to turn Invisible. Douglas even created a virus while thinking on his feet to fry all of Giselle's systems. However, he has trouble decrypting Victor Krane's software.


 * Martial Arts: Just like Donald, Douglas is an accomplished fighter, able to take Donald on at an equal level. He claimed he was the better fighter of the two; however this was not proven, as their fight never reached a climax.
 * Medical Knowledge: Douglas is savvy about medical treatments. For example is aware of common practices of how doctors deal with amnesic patients. However, the credibility of his knowledge is questionable as he never completed his doctorate, because he flunked out due to screaming at the sight of needles. He was able to heal Leah's arm and able to help her with giving birth to Ella.


 * Cooking: Douglas went to cooking school as a result he can cook very well. He can even cook street food, when he became a vendor while hiding from Krane.
 * Impressions: Douglas claims he does a killer Krane impression, but when he pretended to be Krane while trying ot get Taylor to remember how to deactivate a doomsday app, she hoped that if she was going to explode, she would take out Chase and Douglas.

Donald Davenport
(Brother)

Douglas and Donald grew up together, but the latter was often the one to overshadow Douglas and sometimes, used to bully him when he was younger, being not that different from their sons, Chase and Adam. He tries desperately to get back at his brother for taking his children and plotted to get them back. However, the brothers reconciled when they worked together to recreate Bree's chip. (Main Article: Donald and Douglas)

Chase Davenport
(Son)

Out of all his children, he appeared to connect with Chase the most, due to both feeling overshadowed by an older sibling and underappreciated, as he saved Chase from an avalanche. However, he manipulated his son the whole time and offered to give his son Bree's speed and Adam's intelligence while he had the opportunity to protect Leah. However, he was manipulating his son the whole time. Despite this, Douglas saved the kids from Victor Krane when he tried to kill them. Since re-creating Bree's chip and reconciling with his brother, Douglas and Chase began growing close. (Main Article: Chase and Douglas)

Leah Davenport
(Step-Niece/Friend/Daughter-in-law/Former Enemy)

Douglas was the one who sent Marcus to date Leah, to distract her and was aware of hers and Chase's relationship. Despite their status as enemies, in Redemption, Douglas came to Leah when Krane became unstable and made sure she wasn't alone (both on hopes to prove he was changing for the better) and Leah came to him when she needed him to help Bree by recreating her bionic chip after she destroyed it. Since then, they've gotten along better, while having a small rivalry once in a while and Douglas gave her a bionic arm after learning she would never be able to use her normal arm again and he trained her how to use it. He also helped her and Chase with their first child.

Daniel Davenport
(Youngest son)

Daniel is Douglas' youngest son and child. He gave him up for adoption because he knew he could not raise a child while on the run. He reunited with his son when Daniel was thirteen and contacted Douglas, who was not ready to be a father. Experiences with Adam, Bree, and Chase taught him to be a both a better father for Daniel, such as be honest with him, help him get used to his bionic abilities and give him advice on family.

Ella and Jane Davenport
(Granddaughters/Great-Nieces)

Ella and Jane are Chase and Leah's children and so far, Jane and Ella appear to be Douglas' only granddaughters, as they mention having what they hope isn't another boy in the family. He never gives the girls' bionics because he knows they won't be ready for it until they are older. Ella mentions she and Jane stick around Douglas more than Donald because of the latter's bigger ego. However, they mention he should lay back a little bit because he tries to hard to make up for what he did to Chase and Leah in the past.
