Damien was one of the four human Intersect candidates who fit Chuck's psychological profile for the perfect candidate.
Damien is a former Navy SEAL who won an award for marksmanship. He was recruited by the CIA, but, his appearance led the agency to embed him in one terror cell after another for ten years. Despite excelling at both physical and "cultural" testing, Damien is not chosen as the Intersect.
When Chuck's first choice, Brody, is found murdered, Damien immediately makes a lot of noise about being everyone's primary suspect because of his appearance, and storms away. As he opens the door to exit Castle, an explosive is triggered, injuring him and tidily ruling him out as a murder suspect. Chuck, however, later realizes that Damien really was shielding behind the door, that he knew the explosive was there, and was therefore the murderer. He strategically detonated the explosive to deflect suspicion. He later murdered Lewis, the bomb expert, and hid the body so that when he turns up missing he will be suspect.
Damien eventually threatens to detonate a boombox full of explosives if they do not get him to a doctor, but Director Bentley shoots him and retrieves the boombox. It is safely exploded in the Castle secure room without further injury. After Damien is interrogated, it is revealed that he was paid $10 million by Vivian Volkoff to kill Chuck.
