'''David Charleston''', an orphaned teen living in Newcago, is a member of the [[Reckoners]] on [[Earth (Reckoners)|Earth]]. After his father was killed by the notoriously godlike High Epic, Steelheart, all David could think about was revenge. In order to enact his revenge, David compiled an insurmountable amount of information on Epics, including their history, abilities, and weaknesses. He would later join the Reckoners, a group of ordinary people that are humanity's only chance of combating the Epics, and concoct a plan in taking Steelheart once and for all. After successfully taking down the High Epic, all David had to worry about was all the other Epics wreaking havoc.
== Attributes and Abilities ==▼
Throughout most of The Series, David had no superhuman abilities and fought using a rifle and tensors.▼
During Firefight, David was captured by Regalia and at her urging Calamity attempts to give David the Epic Powers of Steelheart. However due to David having confronted his fears Calamity was unable to force David to turn evil through the powers. Throughout Calamity David is shown to have these powers at times of great stress. At the end of Calamity it is confirmed that he has the same powers as Steelheart however due to Calamity no longer being around it is unclear if Epics still have weaknesses.▼
* Wind Manipulation: David can move anything in the wind, including himself.▼
* Steel Transfersion: David can turn almost anything into steel.▼
* Impenetrable skin: Nothing can pierce David's skin.▼
* Super Strength: That ability David is still developing.▼
* Energy Beams: Like Steelheart, David can project energy beams from his hands that can vaporize people and melt steel with ease.▼
* The Ocean: David used to fear the depths, but he has brought his fear under control; in practical terms, what David describes as an uneasy truce. It was revealed that this fear was exaggerated by Calamity when he gave David the powers of Steelheart, but after confronting it, his fear returned to normal. It is unclear if this would affect David anymore, with Calamity gone.▼
== History ==
=== Calamity ===
With Prof turned, David must lead the Reckoners on a desperate chase to recall their mentor, destroy Calamity, and save the world. David comes to the conclusion that not all Epics are evil and adopts a philosophy similar to the Faithful. The book begins with David, now the leader of the Reckoners, leading them through a mission to steal equipment from Knighthawk to fight Prof. There, David reveals that he intends not to kill his former leader, but free him from the corruption and use him to fight Calamity. He eventually attempts to save Tia from Prof but this leads to Prof accidentally killing her. In his final face off with Prof, he and Megan find out that Prof's weakness is failure and manages to defeat him. Obliteration teleports David to Calamity's glass base in space. David later finds out that he himself is actually an [[Epic]] with Steelheart's powers but he subconsciously blocked his ability to use them. He uses his powers to save Prof, Megan, and himself from crashing to Earth after defeating Calamity. After Calamity leaves, [[Epic]]s no longer go dark and David shows his acceptance of the powers gifted to him.
