David

Low Level Chaos
Repentance

After a brief moment of reflection, Corvo Attano magnanimously spares the mercy-seeking Daud and, hiding the weapon, leaves to fulfill his mission. Dowd, having collected his livings and monetary savings, sails alive from Dunwall to Serkonos, his homeland, to live out the rest of his life quietly and peacefully. But before that Blade of Dunwall, now already a former killer and leader of the whale fighters, pays tribute to the fallen Empress by laying his blade to her cenotaph.

High Level Chaos
Farewell to the master

The thirst for revenge prevents Corvo Attano from sacrificing the life of his mistress’ murderer, and so the former Lord Protector kills the master assassin: cutting the killer’s throat and dumping the dying one down, into the flooded alleyways. Those who have found the body of the whaling chief arrange a funeral: they put the mentor’s body on a raft, set it on fire, and send it down the Wrenhaven River. If Billy Lerk survives, she will come secretly from everyone to lead the teacher to the last journey.

After being betrayed by his “right-hand man,” Dowd is depressed. He is plagued by nightmares, and in one he fights Corvo. At a low level of Chaos Daud will easily deal with the Lord Protector, but here at a high Attano will be far more agile and, having broken the hand of the chief of the whalers, will pierce the same with his sword.

Kitoboev swallows thirst for revenge. They, like David, want to deal with Delilah’s bouncing. But the problem is that Delilah is locked away with her witches in Brigmore Manor, and she still has to get to it: the manor is located up the Renhaven River, deep beyond quarantine territory. Dowd decides to pull Lizzie Stride, leader of the Dead Eels gang, out of Coldridge and on her smuggling vessel, the Undine, break out of town and reach Delilah. Dowd helps Lizzie regain power in Dead Eels and retrieves the Hatters' stolen spool from the ship's engine for her.

And finally, reaching the Brigmore estate, the head of the whalers learns Delilah’s true motives: the witch wants to perform a ritual and forever inhabit the body of young Emily in order to rule the entire Empire under her person. Daud must stop the power-hungry witch, or the Empire he knew will come to an end.

Corvo still came

The cruel irony of fate is that the great deed of Daud—the savior of the Empire—will remain unknown to all but himself and the all-knowing Stranger. And the fate that will befall David with the arrival of the vengeful Corvo Attano will depend solely on the actions that David committed. During the fight with Corvo, the tot will eventually be able to knock the blade out of Daud's hands. The whaling leader falls to the ground, but the Lord Protector grabs him by the shivorot, lifts him up, and sticks the blade of the blade to his throat. David will ask Corvo to spare his life at the last moment, and…

at Low Level Chaos : Lerk confesses that it was she who led the viewers to her mentor's lair. The woman will say she did it under the influence of Delilah and her speeches about the need to change the leader of the whalers. Seeing with his own eyes that Daud has not yet lost his skills and is able to solve problems with a tolic of pacifism, Lerk repents in a cowed, publicly renounces Delilah and entrusts his life to Daud. The player can either kill Lerk or let her take over.

In the second case, the woman on the first vessel caught will sail away from Dunwall to meet a new life, while keeping in mind the image of the magnanimous and merciful maitre-murderer.

at a high level of chaos: High level of Chaos
Lerk not without prompting from Delilah declares that the whalers need a new leader, one who is not as weak and bloodthirsty as Daud. The female assassin challenges her former mentor, and the remaining whalers retreat so as not to disturb the combatants. In the event of victory, Dowd can either pick her up or put her to sleep with a dart (counted for mercy).

Dowd, a widely known Dunwall hired assassin, along with his loyal whalers made an audacious attempt on the reigning Empress Jessamine Kaldwin. The attempt succeeded, despite Daudu's efforts to thwart the crown-wearer's loyal bodyguard—Lord Protector Corvo Attano.

David and Jessamine
After his successful order, after the Empress dies and her daughter Emily Kaldwin finds herself kidnapped, Dauda begins to be plagued by guilt. Yes, the Blade of Dunwall used to have to let blood go to wealthy aristocrats, businessmen and politicians, but the murder of the Empress knocked Daud off track.

One night, the Stranger drags David into the Abyss to have an eye-to-eye conversation with a hired assassin. The stranger quite coldly greets the marked and with spacious speeches ties the knot of the future plot. In the end, the Stranger calls a name—Delilah—and releases David.

Upon his return to the sinful world Daud, through informants, is taken scrupulously to gather information about this name, passingly guessing to whom it may belong. In this not easy task, he is helped by faithful partner Billy Lerk. With her help, Dowd tracks down the Delilah, a whaling vessel belonging to Bundry Rothwild, and through it comes upon Delilah Copperspoon, an artist and head of the Brigmore Witch Coven. Eager to get Dowd out of the way, Delilah confers with Billy Lerk, and together they give out the location of the secret whaling lair to onlookers. Slightly hesitant, the naked lookouts led by Leonard Hume break into the hideout of hired killers, but a timely returning Dowd wrests his possessions in an unequal fight.

First meeting Delilah
When Leonard Hume proves to be neutralized and the disorganized viewers are caught, Delilah’s own persona will appear. Billy Lerk admits that it was she who gave the tip to the viewers, and, depending on the level of Chaos, repents or challenges the mentor to a mortal duel.

Dowd is sword-wielding, and therefore possesses a whole suite of active and passive super-abilities that aid in the uneasy craft of a mercenary assassin: “Gaze of the Abyss,” “Transference,” “Summon Assassins,” “Attraction,” and more.

Dowd is considered a mentor to his whalers, as he teaches them the skills of stealth and assassination and can share with them a number of his abilities: whalers possess abilities such as Transfer, Vitality, Time Bending, Attraction, and Shadow Death.

Unique Skill
Daud’s unique skill is Assassin’s Summon. The ability costs a moderate amount of mana while summoning an assassin: depending on the level of assassin rookie, or assassin master. Corvo (The Greedy Pack) and Emily (The Double) have a similar ability, however at the moment only Dowd is able to summon other people. Some consider such "Attraction", but it is also in the Executioner (only the Executioner received the ability not from the Stranger, but from the Old Vetosha). Others believe that Dowd’s second special ability is “Secret Knots,” but that’s not the case: Delilah Copperspoon can also transfer some of the powers to her witches. Confirmation of that can be learned from books, notes and other sources.

Dowd kidnaps Emily

Jessamine’s murder and Emily’s abduction rattled Blade Dunwall’s jaws. The Kingslayer continues to live day by day, but a sense of indelible guilt sharpens his hardened soul. Seeing Dunwall slowly sink into confusion, chaos, and vice, Dowd realized that only Jessamine Kaldwin kept the Empire from ruin and anarchy. And now that it hasn't, all that bile has spilled out onto the streets of the Empire's capital and is slowly flooding more and more territory. Daud claims he would return all the gold he got from the customer, just so the Empress would stay alive.

The omnipresent Stranger, who sees everything and everything, gives Dowd a chance to correct his mistake: he offers Dowd to settle with the Brigmore witch Delilah Copperspoon, who through a nefarious ritual wants to possess the body and mind of young Emily, threaten her, and kill her in the first chapter of Dunwall. David makes the decision to thwart Delilah’s insidious plans. The story of his struggle with the Brigmore Witches is revealed in the above supplements.

However, all these attempts to right the wrongs of the past do not save David from the revenge of Corvo Attano: the former Lord Protector, in the end, still gets to the murderer of his Empress and decides his further fate ...

Little is known about David's childhood: according to rumors, David's mother was a native of Pandussia. The future Blade of Dunwall was conceived on the 13th of Ice Moon 1795 aboard a pirate ship whose crew held his mother captive. It was rumored that she was a witch marked by the Stranger and took control of the ship during its return to Serkonos. Dowd notes that, contrary to rumor, she was simply skilled at preparing and using poisons, decoctions, and hallucinogens from a variety of plants and animals and ruthless in their application.

David was born on Serkonos, in Karnak and grew up in various towns on the island. At some point in his childhood, Daud’s natural abilities caught the attention of a mystery actor, which eventually led to his abduction.

The book Rumors and Testimonies: Dowd: Dowd talks about how at some point between this period and the events of Dishonored he arrived in Dunwall (he was 16) and began to make a name for himself, “moving among the traders and officers of the Dunwall guard like a sickle through a sword.” In the book, it is stated that later Dowd traveled the islands and sought the sanctuary of the Stranger, which he himself confirms after meeting Corvo. It is rumored that during this time he spent the winter at the Academy of Natural Philosophy. Eventually he caught the attention of the Stranger, who marked him in 1820.
