 He collects many things from mankind except books due to his lack of interest in reading (mainly fiction).In Sons Of Destiny, Mr Tiny proclaims he is the father of Darren Shan and Steve (Leopard) Leonard, having engineered the war between the Vampires and Vampaneze simply to throw the human race back into the bloody chaos he loves, and pitted his own sons against each other just so one would become the Lord of the Shadows, a tyrant who would rule over the ruined world.Darren manages to destroy these schemes by letting a mortally injured Steve stab him to death.
