"So, the shit hit the fan and the fan finally busted. That's how Raccoon City came to pass." - David King
David King is a former plumber of the "Raccoon City Plumbers", as well as a skilled mechanic. Quiet and contemplative with his sharp eyesight, he analyzes the situation before acting. His past is kept hidden as well as his age. He is not unfriendly, but a man of few words.
David was one of eight surviving civilians during the Raccoon City incident caused by the outbreak of the T-virus. During the outbreak, he found himself inside the Umbrella Raccoon City Headquarters alongside researcher Carter, who he saved from an attacking zombie. In gratitude, he was offered a ride on the escape helicopter piloted by rogue U.S.S. agent Rodriguez.
