Most of David's students call him Landon instead of professor or something formal like that. He's this House of Night's sword master and general protector. It's his job to teach the fledglings self defense, using weapons and hands. David is easily one of the strongest vamps in this house. His mate is Lily, and he worships the ground she walks on. She's his everything, the entire being what he is has become mostly bearable. When he was human, so many years ago, he'd never wanted to become a vampire. Actually, after he was changed he hoped for a long time that his body would reject it. That all changed after he realized his affinity for strength, inner and outer. He could sense when somebody was holding back, and when there was unused potential.
