He wore a brown ragged tunic with a v neck collar and a green long sleeved shirt underneath, cinched at the waist with a brown belt. His fitted pants were brownish, and he wore black shoes.
David was timid but friendly, and quick to greet the party with kindness. Although he was constantly being humiliated and abused by Dominico, he smiled and stated that he was grateful he was given a home at all and continued to be loyal to his master up until his death.
Story[edit]

He was penniless, starving, and tired when he arrived but, Dominico took him in as a servant at his mansion which made David extremely grateful and loyal to Dominico. His job included looking after Dominico's dog, Sir Leopold.
Evil Jessica arrived in Arcadia at Dominico's mansion, searching for David because he was descended from Kupas. Dominico, however, believed she was there for himself rather than David. The Hero, Yangus, and Angelo, stop her from attacking them.
After Evil Jessica's defeat, she returns back to her normal self but the sceptre is lost after Sir Leopold takes it while everyone is distracted. After his disappearance, David is ordered to look for him. During a visit, the party see David in the courtyard getting attacked by an Evil Sir Leopold, who has been possessed by Rhapthorne's sceptre. He mortally wounds David and escapes.
