Damian Desmond is a supporting character in SPY x Family, playing the second son of Donovan and Melinda Desmona. He is a first-year student in Cecile Hall's third grade and Anyar Forger's rival at Eden Academy.

This character first appeared in manga Chapter 8 and anime Episode 6 when Anya carried out a plan to approach him as part of the Loid Forger mission. In the storyline, Damian was a key target in Operation Strix's Plan B. In the mission, Anya hoped to befriend him in order to approach the Desmond family.

Throughout the manga, Damian appears in various arcs, such as Eden Beginnings, Secret Police, Stella Star, Doggy Crisis, Midterm Exams, Campbelldon Tennis, Imperial Scholars Mixer, Cruise Adventure, Loid's Past, Friendship Schemes, Bus Hijacking, Wheeler, Term Finals, Term Break, Poacher Hunting, Eden Scandal, up to the current arc, including various Short Missions. In the anime, he appears in Seasons 1, 2, and 3.

Damian is a 6-year-old boy from Ostania, 110 cm tall, with dark brown hair (or greenish brown in the anime) and narrow hazel eyes.

He often wears the Eden Academy uniform, but his casual attire consists of a white vest with the “D” logo, a long-sleeved shirt, black pants, and brown shoes.

Personally, Damian initially appears arrogant, conceited, and prone to looking down on others due to his family status. He craves praise, expects special treatment, and is reluctant to show weakness.

But underneath, he's actually a mature, intelligent, ambitious, hardworking, and very caring and kind child. He also longs for recognition and affection from his family.

Damian secretly has a crush on Anya, though he finds it hard to admit it. He has several nicknames, such as "Lord Damian" from his best friends Emile and Ewen, "Sy-on Boy" (a play on the word "scion") from Anya, and "Master Damian" from his family's butler, Jeeves.
