Biography
Dave was a native of Santori Isle on Miranar, and was part of the Screaming Sixes thruster boarding club. He was known for his hot temper, which got him into trouble when tourists began hitting on a local woman in Bar Method. Dave got into a fight with a large group and put a number of them in the hospital. The Dominion Marine Corps, admiring a man who could fight that well, gave him the choice of ten years in the marine corps or forty years in prison. He chose the Marine Corps, though was disappointed that he had to cut his dreadlocks.

Dave was assigned to Rho Squadron, and kept a piece of his thruster board to remind him of home. Occasionally, he would smell the piece of plastic to remind him of what he was fighting for, ignoring the comments from his squadmates. As criminal recruits did not get R&R, Dave had to turn to only gambling and Scotty Bolger's Old No. 8 Whiskey for pleasure.

During his station on Seti, the base's sensor tower malfunctioned allowing a group of zerglings to enter the barracks. Dave, drunk from last night, did not get up to the alarms, and was attacked by a zergling in his bunk. Virgil Caine and Birch managed to kill the beast on top of him, but not before it had killed Dave. Virgil kept the piece of his thruster board he carried in serve as a reminder of him.
