David (Underworld)

David is from the Underworld universe.

David is a Vampire and the pure born son of Thomas, the leader of one of the remaining Vampire Covens, and the Vampire Elder Amelia, as well as the progeny of Selene. He is also the only rightful heir to the Eastern Coven. He is one of the protagonists of Underworld: Awakening and Underworld: Blood Wars.

David was born sometime around the year 1990 to the Vampire Elder Amelia and a Vampire named Thomas and is a pure-blooded Vampire. His age is unclear; however, it is suggested that he must still be quite young, as the Purges only occurred roughly twelve years before the film's events, yet he says he's only heard of the Death Dealers, a group of the Vampires' warrior elite, who were all but wiped out during the original Purge. This means that he was only 13 years old when the Lycans killed his mother Amelia and when the initial Purge began. One of his father's comments puts David's age at around or just under 25 years old.

When David hears about a brutal Lycan attack and takes it upon himself to investigate it. While there, he catches sight of a female Immortal jumping down from the underside of an underpass. From her Death Dealer attire, he surmises that she must be Selene.

Following her at a distance, David witnesses her interrogate and kill an Antigen scientist then follows her into an abandoned building, where she confronts him, having known he was following her. David tells Selene about the current state of the Vampire and Lycan clans, and the two hide from a group of Lycans.

David and Selene discover a young girl hiding from the Lycans. Not knowing who the girl is, or why the Lycans are after her, they take her with them as they head to David's Coven. While driving away, they are pursued by Lycans, who brutally and single-mindedly attack the young girl. To the amazement of both Selene and David, the child shifts into a Hybrid form, and tears a Lycan's head in half with her brute strength.

While David drives the van out of the city, Selene speaks with the girl and learns that the child is her daughter. When they arrive at the Coven, David carries a weakened Eve in and has her tended to by the Coven's doctor, Olivia. He and Thomas then argue about the presence of Selene and Eve, with David disputing Thomas's accusations that Selene is responsible for the dismal state of the Vampire species. Unhappy with the current state of the Vampires and his father's ineffectual leadership, David is hopeful that he can continue to work with Selene, either at the Coven or outside of it.

Later that same night, when a force of two dozen Lycans besiege the Coven, David stands up and takes command when his father orders the Coven retreat to the shelters, ordering the use of the Coven's supply of silver ammunition when the attackers are revealed to be Lycans, and even engaging the Lycans in battle.

During the battle, David is fatally wounded and dies in Thomas's arms. Selene then uses her own Hybrid blood to revive David by cutting him open and introducing her blood directly to his heart, changing David into a Vampire-Corvinus Strain Hybrid.

After recovering he saves Eve and helps Selene reunite with her before leaving Selene and her daughter Eve to return back to the Eastern Coven.
