David Doyle

Appearance
Everything about David's upper body appears to have been designed to produce sound. His expansive rib cage rises and falls like a bellows when he breathes. His neck rises above it like a pipe from an organ, topped by an oblong head dominated by a wide mouth with muscular lips. His fingers form an alternating pattern of light and dark, and they appear to have been pounded flat.

Personality
David has never been known to do anything out of compassion or kindness. He does things for one of two reasons: it is his business, or it is his pleasure. Though he can expedite things if necessary, he will take his time if given the choice. When he is not on the job, David seems to go out of his way to make himself as unappealing as possible. This can involve such tactics as neglecting personal hygiene, wearing poorly cared-for or poorly coordinated outfits, crude and tactless language, and annoying mannerisms. He cleans up his act beautifully if duty calls, but only his motley can usually stand to be around him when he decides to let himself go and "relax."

Roles
David has two official roles in the Freehold: protecting the Freehold with force of arms as a White Sentinel and protecting the Winter Court's secrets as the Sun Banisher. He pursues the former duty much more enthusiastically than the latter. He seems to have fallen into the Sun Banisher position mostly by virtue of his association with Leblanc. Not that he does the job poorly, but older Freeholders have commented that his work just lacks the inspiration and creativity of some previous Sun Banishers. As a White Sentinel, his MO is usually to offer his services as a bodyguard to individual Freeholders who feel threatened, as opposed to more sweeping tactics. Though like most Knights, he goes where he is needed.

Relationships
Because of his duties in the Freehold, David is well-known to anyone who has ever been particularly vulnerable to attack and anyone who has ever been in a position that was potentially compromising to the Winter Court. Given David's unsympathetic demeanor, these are the same groups of changelings who find themselves wishing very hard that they didn't know him quite so well. Additionally, David is in a motley with Terry Hutchinson and Christopher Leblanc. How his motley puts up with (or even possibly likes!) him is a mystery to the Freehold. The same changelings who seek David out as a bodyguard often look to Otto Caldwell to investigate the nature of the threats they face, so the two of them often find themselves working in parallel.
