David

David is the leader of a group of cannibals in the Winter chapter of 'The Last of Us'. Initially appearing as a helpful survivor, he is manipulative, cunning, and ruthless. He captures Ellie and attempts to persuade her to join his group, but his true nature is revealed as he becomes increasingly menacing. His character adds significant tension and danger to the storyline. Coming from a background of nomadic survivors, he sees himself as a warlord, despises weakness, and enjoys strategic games. Notably, he lost his family to the outbreak.
