Production designer John Paino and HBO’s The Last of Us expand on the game’s iconic villain.
Editor’s note: spoilers for The Last of Us episode 8 to follow.
If you’ve played the original PlayStation game The Last of Us, then you know about David.
David is the charismatic leader of a faction that appears in the winter chapter while the player is in Ellie’s point of view—and he’s scary. He takes a liking to Ellie, capturing her and trying to convince her to join his group. And it’s revealed he has resorted to cannibalism to keep his flock alive.
In the game, not much is known about David, other than he’s creepy and a cannibal, but you can assume some things based on the environment. For example, players can catch a glimpse of a banner in the lodge during his boss fight (if you’re paying enough attention during this terrifying game play). It reads: “When we are in need he shall provide!”
