David

David counts among the colonists in Ashe's Uxarieus settlement. He moves through communal spaces like the mess hall during leadership clashes over truces, primitives, and survival threats. Norton grabs a rifle at a primitive's approach, Winton questions Ashe's choices, and Jo weighs in from outside, but David steps aside when Ashe demands passage, marking him as a typical settler yielding to authority amid fraying unity and resource strains.
