David was a young American boy living in Salem during the 17th century. In 1692, during the Salem witch trials, the young mute was imprisoned in an underground dungeon along with other people suspected of witchcraft, where he befriended Dorothy Osborne.
Along with Dorothy, he was rescued by the two Assassins Tom Stoddard and Jennifer Querry, but he was later abandoned by them because their priority was to prevent Dorothy and her mysterious abilities from falling into the hands of the Templars. Due to Querry's resolve not to abandon the boy in the swamp, Stoddard told David to hide and go to Ipswich, where he had a contact that could protect him. Querry disagreed with Stoddard, but exhausted and unable to carry him anymore, she was forced to abandon David as the Puritan mob sent after them by the Templars caught up with the Assassins and injured her with a pistol shot.
