History
When David was eight years old his father was killed by Steelheart on the Day of Annexation. After a short time homeless and alone he is taken in by a Factory, where he, along with many other children, works in exchange for food and board. He is obsessed with researching Epics and finding their weaknesses, and with the Reckoners, the one group who continues to fight the Epics when even governments have stopped. He manages to track down the Reckoners when they plan a hit in Newcago and convinces them to let him join them. He tells them that he had seen Steelheart bleed, and convinces them to target Steelheart next. They successfully execute a plan which results in the destruction of Steelheart's government and the eventual death of Steelheart himself.[2] In Firefight, he, Prof, and Tia travel to Babilar to take on Regalia.
Abilties
David has no superhuman abilities but uses a rifle and tensors.
He is notoriously bad at metaphors, and vastly prefers rifles to handguns.
Another notable ability is that when he was being turned into an Epic at the end of Firefight, Regalia, a high epic, remarked that Epics had no choice in becoming an epic or not. David was able to stay human, and Regalia later states that Calamity won't tell her how David resisted the process.
He hates being called a nerd and has an infatuation with Megan Tarash. He runs point most of the time.
He has killed many epics, including Mitosis, Instabam, Sourcefield, Steelheart, Regalia, and Newton.
