=== Origins ===
Born as David Seaborn, he is the son of a sea captain. After his father died at sea, he was taken under care by his grandfather, a blacksmith and grew up in the Free City of Andrea, learning the art of smithery and brawling. He was also good at getting caught with daughters, sisters, and wives of noblemen and merchants, as well as once caught in bed with daughter and wife of the Captain of the City Guard of Andrea, forcing him to leave the town in exile when he was sixteen-years-old.

By the age of nineteen, David was skilled with a sword being trained under a former mercenary and an exiled frank knight in prison with a bounty on his head of dead or alive in various cities and provincial regions, with Antos and Lanpur being his most prominent ones.
In Late 107 CE, David travelled beyond the Blue Sea to the Talmerian Kingdom of Valmont, taking up the name 'David Rivers' with a sellsword company following the death of his grandfather.
In Sternlands, David came into prominence when he championed for a nobleman in his trial by combat for killing a Captain of the City Guard in Eastwood, Thomas Eastborn, who was the nephew of Ser George Eastborn who served as the Captain of the City Guard of Tumbleton. During a drought that plagued much of the Western Easternlands during 108-11 CE, Tumbleton was one of the cities that fell under loss of stability and workforce, during which, Ser George took leadership as the Commander of the City Guard that led to the appointment of Thomas Eastborn as the New Tax Collector of Tumbleton, and David Rivers entered into Lord Thomas' service as his personal bodyguard and enforcer.

=== Knighthood ===
Following the control of drought, Tumbleton faced an internal threat of power, that led to the First Skirmish of Tumbleton, where David Rivers played a strong role in holding the defense line and killing nearly thirty men in battle singlehandedly, earning him the nickname, "David Gellert". After which, David was knighted by Lord George Eastborn, the Sheriff of Tumbleton. Lord Thomas remained in office as Tax Collector of Tumbleton, going on to forge alliances with the fifth-richest nobility in Eastville and the second-ruling nobility of Tumbleton, House Fargo of Tumbleton by marrying Lady Elaine Fargo, taking on Fargo Sigil as his own.
=== Household Guard ===
Following the matrimony, Lord Thomas appointed Ser David as his Guard Captain. Afterwards, Lord Thomas moved to Toyne where he was appointed as the New Tax Collector and later rising as the Deputy Magister for Revenue.
=== District Royal Office ===
His fortunes continued to rise during his service in Toyne, briefly serving as Captain of the City Guard during the riots following the assassination of the Viceroy of Toyne, Lord Jonothor of Rivermont.
In 114 CE, he was appointed as the Captain of the City Guard of Tumbleton upon the return of Lord Thomas Fargo, who was appointed as the Sheriff of Tumbleton following Lord George's death to pox.
In 119 CE, following the poisoning of Lord Eustace Beetroot in a tourney, Lord David was appointed as the Commander of the City Guard of Tumbleton.
