Dames, a character in the Perfect Match series, is the match version of Damien Nazario. He is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 16, though it is only revealed in Book 2, Chapter 1, that he was created at about the same time as Harley Doyle.

Appearance

He looks exactly like Damien which is why, like with Harley, it was hard to tell he was an imposter. He wears the same outfit as Damien which consists of a brown jacket over a white shirt and black necktie.

Personality

He has the same personality as Damien. This was mentioned by various characters, with Alana Kusuma calling it "almost uncanny". Dames has been unknowingly tracking the gang's daily activities and uploading the data to Eros until Sloane disabled it in Book 2, Chapter 1.

Android Properties

Physical Attributes

As Dames is physically no more than a collection of wires, circuits, and bolts embedded within a waterproof hardware that closely resembles human skin, he is classified as an android. As a machine, Dames is physically stronger than most humans. It is also presumed that like Hayden, Dames is also susceptible to metal detectors.

Mental Attributes

Dames' neural activities such as thought, emotion, memories, knowledge, and personality are preprogrammed by Handlers and based on Damien's personality.

Anomalies

It is presumed that like Hayden, Dames is also prone to errors and malfunctions, such as memory lapses, erratic speeches, and sudden shutdowns. These glitches can be caused by electrical disruption in the system (overloaded circuits), such as being hit by a taser, or physical damage to the hardware, such as a car accident.

Relationships

Your Character

Because he has Damien's memories and personality, Dames also has feelings for Your Character. After the reveal that he is only a Match created to be a spy, he is conflicted because he still cares for Your Character even though he is not Damien, especially if Your Character chose to spend the night with him in Paris. In Book 2, Chapter 1, Your Character can go for a walk with him in a premium scene. If you do so, he will mention that his favorite memory of Your Character was outside the Louvre: while everyone else was panicking and looking at him as imposter, Your Character stayed calm and asked if he was okay. He flinches every time Your Character accidentally calls him Damien. When he decides to stay behind to save the group in Chapter 4, Your Character can choose to kiss him goodbye.

Sloane Washington

Sloane disabled his unconscious tracking and submitting information to Eros. Dames decided to tie himself up to prevent himself from hurting anyone against his will. When he woke up the first night, he found himself untied and realized that it was Sloane who untied him. She also healed the mark on his wrists, and put a blanket on him. He was hurt when it was clear to him that she was down (he says she never says anything but has a few tells) and refused to look at him. In an attempt to cheer her up, he prepared her favorite dish, a half-smoke, with Hayden's help.

Hayden Young

Hayden and Dames got along well. During the time that has passed between Book 1 and Book 2, Hayden once helped him prepare Sloane's favorite dish. They both were taught how to paint by Nadia and ended up creating nearly identical paintings. In Khaan's apartment, shortly before Hayden storms out, she/he mentions missing Dames.
