David is a tall, solidly built man who has dark brown hair, eyes and dark skin, as these are the physical attributes of the man whose body Lestat has stolen and placed David's soul into. David is a fledgling of Lestat's, which makes him immune to Lestat being able to read his mind. Prior to Lestat making him a vampire, David was an elderly man, though he now walks in the body of a young man. In his new body, David is able to pass as human. Lestat considers David to be one of his dearest friends.
