David King

Another man. In this arena I guess I could start to label as “home”. A man with an athletic frame. He carries an impressive stature. He seems untouchable at first glance. But a second look tells me something else. He seems torn. Distraught and broken. Maybe not by body, but by mind. I have seen him outrun the creatures. But also on a hook, with his bowels fleeing his torso. Something unsettling about that sight.

Overview
|
|
Some say misunderstood, others say arrogant – though never to his face. A rough and tumble scrapper with a penchant for debauchery and ruckus, it’s always better to have David King on your side. |
|
David King is a rugged Scrapper, rewarding high-risk play.
His personal Perks, We're Gonna Live Forever
, Dead Hard
, and No Mither
, reward an aggressive, confrontational play style, but leave him vulnerable.
His Perks are a result of his years playing rugby and stem from his strong physique and his need for Adrenaline. But being fast isn't everything, he's - sometimes - also a team player. But that side is seldom seen.
Lore
- Additional Lore can be found in Tome 2 - Reckoning: Manchester Mash-Up & Tome 11 - Devotion: The Importance of Being King.
The single child of a wealthy family, David King seemed destined for greatness. While growing up in Manchester, he demonstrated serious potential in both sports and academics, and with his family connections, all doors were open to him. He could have succeeded at anything, if it weren't for his combative nature. David lived for the adrenaline rush of a good fight and would go out of his way to get into one.
His robustness and athletic abilities led him to rugby, where he could cut loose and really cause a ruckus. King excelled and gained a reputation as a promising, if somewhat reckless, rookie. His meteoric rise came to an abrupt end when he lost his temper and assaulted a referee, earning himself a lifetime ban from the league and cutting short what most people assumed was going to be a long, successful career. King was unconcerned; money was no issue, so he took it as an early retirement and focused on other fun things to do.
Free from the constraints of a career and enabled by the wealth of his family, David King spent most of his time at the pub, drinking, watching games, and getting into fights. Some might say he was wasting his life away. Not many people knew that he was an occasional "debt collector" or that he fought in clandestine bare-knuckle fight clubs.
When David King stopped showing up at the pub, the few friends he still had were not surprised. They figured he had finally picked a fight with someone stronger than he was. In a way, they were right.

DLC
Main article: Downloadable Content
David is part of 1 DLC:
Change Log
Patch 5.1.0
- Rework: updated facial model and texture as part of The Realm Beyond - Part 6 Graphical Update.
- Change: David is now locked to all new Players to Dead by Daylight, or returning Players who did not progress him until this Patch, and must now be unlocked by completing the Survivor Tutorial first.
Trivia
- In an interview with Mathieu Côté, he described David as "an asshole".
- The description of the "Pugilist" outfit is a reference to the movie 'Fight Club'
- David has two tattoos: one is behind his left ear of a rose and the other is on his right forearm of a lion.
- The rose is from the Rugby Union Jerseys.
- According to the file names of his cosmetics, his nickname is "Smoke".
Perks
- All three of David's Perks are references to slang or pop-culture common to Manchester, a major city in the northwest of England, and David's hometown:
- "No mither" is Mancunian slang for "[It's] no bother.".
- The word "mither" is generally used instead of the word "bother" and is synonymous to "moan" or "whinge".
- The correct pronunciation of the first syllable, often debated in the community, uses the diphthong 'ai' (like the first person singular pronoun "I").
- It is often mispronounced with a short 'i' (like in the word "drink"), which actually denotes a different word altogether, a variant of "mother" in Scotland and Northern England.
- "Dead Hard" is Mancunian slang to refer to someone who is "very tough".
- It is a common feature of Mancunian slang to refer to something as "dead something" instead of "very something".
- "We're Gonna Live Forever" references a 1994 song called "Live Forever" by the Mancunian Brit-Pop Band Oasis.
- It is the final line in the Chorus and was meant to be an optimistic response to the perceived pessimistic Grunge movement that was popular at that time.
- "No mither" is Mancunian slang for "[It's] no bother.".
Voice Actor
- David is voiced by Stefan Horvath, who at that time worked as a Game Designer on the Game.
Sexuality
- David is Dead by Daylight's first official LGBTQIA2+ character, identifying as a gay man.
- This was confirmed by the Developers in a news post on their website the day prior to the release of Tome 11 - Devotion.
The post teased that David's sexuality would be explored in his newest Tome story, The Importance of Being King.[1]
- This was confirmed by the Developers in a news post on their website the day prior to the release of Tome 11 - Devotion.
