## Biography

### Early Life

## Personality

Davidson is a man who believes in extreme measures for law enforcement and only deals in absolutes. He wants to clean up Siren City by any means necessary, and believes that crime unpunished is a crime in itself. He is an idealist with respect for law and order, unjaded, uncorrupted and still filled with hope and faith in the system. He swore to honor the badge with his life and to extinguish the epidemic of lawlessness with extreme prejudice. Unlike Shadow, Davidson is almost religious in his mission, as he views low-life criminals as sinners. He does not care about his personal life, as he is a man obsessed, which is one of the reasons he is not on speaking terms with his ex-wife.
