Personal History:

Dave was born in bonnie Caledonia in 1932. A rural boy, living with his father at Cadderlie on the north shores of Loch Etive.

At 22, he missed the last war which left him spoiling for fight in his formative years. Joining the RAF Regiment at 18, he guarded various airfields across east Asia. Dealing with the after effects of the death and atrocities committed was too much for Dave, who was discharged at 21 as an Early Service Leaver.

Dave subsequently trained as a nurse. In the contrast to his military life, he found he had a affinity for healing, and making people healthy brought Dave to a high in life. It was around this time Dave discovered his mind-affecting properties, and was able to spread his newfound happiness with those around him. In researching his abilities, his foray into the scientific and philosophical brought him into contact with the Fledgling Foundation, which he now serves with his military and medical skills.

Miscellaneous:

  • Dave hates the grimdark.
  • Dave will try to discuss his philosophical ramblings far too often, but will likely just cause everyone around him to nod and seek an exit.
  • He's working on a book. Ask him about it!
