David (Bandit)

David was an infamous Bandit- the first leader of the Darkness of Duskwood gang.
He is the nephew of Benedict and the uncle of Derek Darkheart.
He made his first (and only) appearance during the events of "Miracula Luxia" 's second Chapter- "From Zero To Hero", and served as a minor, yet influential character, as well as its main Antagonist.

=== Killed By ===
* Himself (Indirectly Caused, Alive)
Before facing Jared and his allies, David met the boy's lost sister- Marinette. At that time, she was desperately looking for her brother and she needed help. Thus, the bandit leader made a deal with her- he would lure the child and his friends to their HQ and reunite her with him. However, she would have to swear total loyalty toward him and his gang.
Her chances limited to a single solution, Marinette regretfully chose to accept, but not before forcing him to make a promise that he will not hurt any of them.
Unbeknownst to her, David found and captured Jared's highschool friend- Akari- and forced her to join his hang. This made Marinette angry at him. Still, she had no choice but to accept it... as much as she didn't like seeing the poor girl suffer like this.
However, this chain of unfortunate events planted a seed of mistrust within her. And, as long as he was alive, it never disappeared.
In other words, he ultimately caused his own demise.
*Marinette Kaos (Caused, Alive)
Jared and his allies confront David and his henchmen after the latter try to kill them. They try to bring him down, but things come to a halt as Akari reveals herself to have joined the gang. Much to her former friends' dismay.
This gives David the perfect chance to strike down his target. He uses a powerful ice spell to freeze Jared in place and tries to kill both him and John (Who rushes forward to protect his friend).
However, his plan to kill the heroes and escape with his life fails when Marinette enters the room and confronts him herself. After revealing crucial information that shows how cruel, wicked and manipulative he really is, she attacks him in front of her younger brother and his friends.
David tries to strike another deal with her, but his efforts are in vain. She has had enough of him and his petty trickery. 
Without thinking twice, Marinette stabs David in the neck, leaving him gravely wounded and shocked during his last moments.
* Annie Mitchell (Alive)
However, it was not Marinette who actually killed him. It was Annie.
Taking advantage of the bandit leader's moment of weakness, she snuck up behind him and stabbed him in the back. The sword that she used to perform this deed pierced right through the vile bandit's heart, killing him almost instantly.
* John Braveheart (Undead)
However, this is not the end of the bandit leader. Shortly after his death, he reanimates and stands back up, much to the surprise of our heroes who did not know that such a thing could happen to those who die without receiving some sort of head injury.
He tries to attack Jared and his allies, but fails and is killed again when John shoots an arrow into his skull. Ending his life for good.

* Numerous counts of unnamed people
== Trivia ==
* David is the first character in "Miracula Luxia" who reanimates into an Undead after his death.
** Interestingly, he is also the first character in the "Miracula Luxia" series overall to reanimate into an Undead.
* After David's death, two more characters take on the role as leaders of the "Darkness of Duskwood" gang. One of them is his uncle- Benedict (the true leader of the gang) and the other one is his nephew- Derek (Who takes the role after the demise of his grandfather at the hands of Jared and his allies).
** Benedict is the leader of the gang during the events of "Miracula Luxia II" and Derek- during "Miracula Luxia III"
* Just like Steele Brennte, David was a fearsome bandit who was feared and hated by many because of the deeds that he has done and the people that he killed, coldly and mercilessly. Ironically, the only on-panel victim whose death he is responsible of in any way is him.
* David has dichromactic eyes. His left one is dark purple and his right one- dark blue.
* Although there is a slight resemblance (As well as similar personalities) between him and Trajkov, the two of them are not related to each other.
* Curiously, David has a scar of the right eye. And so does his nephew- Derek.
* During the time when he was alive, David had a tattoo of a demon on his right shoulder.
* David's death is the primary catalyst that starts the long and tedious conflict between the "Darkness of Duskwood" gang and Jared's group- a problem that lasts for many decades. The hatred between both parties is still present in "Miracula Luxia III" when Derek Darkheart (David's nephew) confronts Adam (Jared's son) and tries to kill him, as punishment for the mistake that his father made in the time before he was born.
** Curiously, Adam knew almost nothing about the conflict at the time when he met Derek for the first time. It is heavily implied that his father tried to hide what he and his friends did during that time, to protect him from a fate worse than death.
