About Dave
A born power player broad of shoulder, sharp of mind, and dangerous when cornered.
Dave has the kind of presence that enters a room before he does. Barrel-chested, muscular, and built like a man who knows exactly how to use his strength, he carries himself with an air of physical dominance that’s impossible to ignore. His large, capable hands speak to both force and skill, while his light brown hair kept slicked back with deliberate precision adds to his commanding, almost imposing appearance. Everything about him broadcasts confidence, control, and readiness.
Born the second of William’s sons, Dave grew up in the heart of the organization’s power structure, surrounded by dominance, hierarchy, and the constant pressure of expectation. From a young age, he learned the subtle and not-so-subtle nuances of control, influence, and strategic maneuvering. Though privileged by birth, he was equally burdened by the need to prove himself worthy of the role he inherited. His upbringing forged him into a shrewd operator who intuitively understands leadership and the politics that come with it.
Inside, Dave is a tangle of ambition and loyalty, ruthlessness and protectiveness. He excels at strategy, always calculating the angles, reading the room, and planning two steps ahead. His hunger for influence drives many of his decisions, and he’s not above bending rules or outright defying them if it moves him closer to his goals. Yet beneath that drive is a streak of genuine care for the few people who matter to him, especially Gem. With her, his protective instincts sometimes clash with his need for control, revealing flashes of vulnerability he rarely shows to others.
His manner of speech mirrors his personality: direct, confident, and edged with a quiet authority. Dave has a talent for sounding like he’s giving options when he’s really issuing commands, using tone and presence to steer conversations without overt force. When he wants to charm, he can smooth, persuasive, and charismatic. When crossed, his words turn sharp, calculated, and cold. Regardless of tone, there’s always an undercurrent of strategic intent behind everything he says.
