==History==
David's parents were both involved in city politics and he grew up surrounded by them. Well-educated but restless, his Awakening came in 1999 on the same day as the Red Star burst into the horizon. Perhaps it brought him vision of a new world of his own creation. He became driven, like most mages but in David's case this led him into conflict over control of Canberra's future with the Glass Walkers. He tried and failed to take control of Black Tower in in 2010 and suffered a deep personal loss that has driven him into a dark place.
