" You can only push a man so far before he starts pushing back" One of the greatest assassins ever to walk the planet. David started his career killing the enemies of the United States. With more money and time thrown into his training than the cold war spy network David is put simply a human weapon. For ten years of his life he was a cold, ruthless killer. A single minded super-assassin.
While wounded on a mission in Mongolia he was taken into the care of Ducard and his group of killers. Talked around to their way of thinking be was trained as a member of the Shadows and paired with Lady Shiva. Through hardships and shared dangers the pair fell for each other and Sandra soon bore them a child, Cassandra. The birth of his daughter changed David. Suddenly all those people he had killed weren't just targets. They were living, breathing people. His thoughts turned to his then master. How many innocent babes like Cassandra and how many proud, good women like Sandra would his plots kill? Unable to bare the thought of being part of this he voiced his concerns to Sandra who seemed to shrug it off. Sandra was not the only person who heard however and while David watched over his sleeping daughter sinister shadows detached themselves from the walls.
In the sudden and explosive violence that followed David was wounded and forced to run. Sparing a moment to kiss his daughter upon the brow and whisper a promise of return he fled into the night. For years he wandered before arriving in Gotham where he remains to this day. Despair haunts him each and every day, turning his life into purgatory for his sins and the failure to rescue his wife and daughter from the Shadows grip.
Forever on the run to keep Ducard from turning on his loved ones, David is not much at first glance. While fairly handsome he is a diamond in the rough. Often sporting a thick stubble and shoulder length hair. He is utterly anti-social and constantly looking over his shoulder for the next assassin to try his luck. A born survivor, David remains calm and to a degree freindly ( in his own way) untill threatened where he reacts with extreme and yet well planned violence. While a complete socio-path David is protective of any who become freinds with him. He has a soft spot for children and will never suffer them to be hurt if he can help it. This has resulted several times in him being injured such as when holding down a section of Gotham City from rioting gang members during the attack of Ducard and Scarecrow. Cursed with perfect memory, David is hauntedb y the faces of his previous targets and those people who he has killed since. Above all these faces the joyful memories of his wife and daughte rprove bitter-sweet. Too proud to give in and let his tormentors win, too fearful of judgement to turn the gun on himself David exits in a half-life. Forevero n the run from those who hunt him. There is however a small glimmer of hope. A method to the madness. Soon fate will have more surprises for him.
