David Walston
David Walston, commonly known as Big Dave, was a blacksmith who resided within the Davenport Homestead during the American Revolution. As he resided there, David helped to craft weapons and other objects, which could later be sold to raise income, or to make weapons to fight with.
During his travels, the Assassin Connor found David in the Frontier, to which he saved David from being executed by British troops. After this, Connor invited him to live at the Homestead, where he could lay low from the British Crown.
From there, on David's request, Connor bought him a better hammer from a general store, so that David could craft better items. Despite this, David was soon located on the Homestead by a group of British soldiers, who intended to have him sentenced for his desertion. To this end, Connor, David and some of the Homestead residents fought back and took out the British troops, securing David's freedom.
