Early Life
Like all New Era hackers, their information is very vague and unknown to anyone who operates outside of their organization. At some point in time, Daivd had decided to join New Era for reasons unknown although since he's an Orthodox Christian and New Era is affiliated with The Order, it could be because of religious reasons.

The Divide
During the events of The Divide, David is first mentioned by members of the US Military after a cyberterrorist attack by New Era had hit New York. Irons investigates and he's soon able to trace the attack back to Munich, Germany but he goes alone since David is rumored to have been connected to Christopher Karishima, the leader of New Dawn and the known terrorist leader who kidnapped his sister.
