David is a protagonist in Leprechaun: Origins.
Biography[]
David was the boyfriend of Jeni, and the two, alongside their friends Sophie and Ben, had been vacationing at an Irish countryside. The driver, Ian, lets them go at the monolith seen in the beginning, and later they meet with a friendly old man, Hamish, who tells them about the history of the village: it was formerly a mining center for gold obtained in a nearby cavern, but when the gold ran out, the population dwindled.
The four agree to be taken to a cottage where they can begin hitchhiking to the cavern, though they are wary of Hamish and his grumpy son, Sean. That night, Jeni investigates a ruckus outside and glimpses a figure sprinting past the window. She wakes the others, who discover that Hamish and Sean had locked them up. A figure suddenly enters the cottage through the fireplace and forcibly takes Jeni's gold earring. After a brief struggle which sees David's leg being bitten by the monster, the four escape the cottage and flee. Despite David struggling to keep up with his mangled leg, Sophie helps him up, and the four race to the village hall, where they hide in the cellar.
The four are confronted by Hamish, who tells them that the villagers sacrifice tourists each year to the leprechaun to avoid having to sacrifice themselves. Hamish is distracted by a noise from upstairs, and Sean, who has grown weary of the unjustified sacrifices, lets the kids go while Hamish is away. The four flag down a car driven by an old woman, Mary, who seemingly agrees to drive them off, but Mary is revealed to be Hamish's accomplice soon after.
Death[]
The kids wind up being tied to trees with gold around their necks as offerings for the leprechaun. The creature approaches David, and slashes deep into his stomach, but it winds up cutting David's ropes in the process. David quickly grabs a machete and frees Jeni, allowing her to free the others in turn while David distracts the leprechaun. Unfortunately, David winds up being killed offscreen soon after.
Trivia[]
David is played by Brendan Fletcher, who also played Mark Davis in Freddy vs. Jason.
