Personality: As a high member of the titular Peaky Blinders, a gypsy-based criminal gang, David is a very cold and stoic, but highly intelligent, professional and pragmatic gangster who rarely expresses emotions and prefers not to get emotions mixed into his businesses. Throughout the show he is put in various risky situations but is able to think on his feet alone and get himself out of said situations by out-smarting his antagonists. David has no problems with killing or torture rival-criminals if it is good for his business, but he prefers not to harm innocent civilians and most of the people he murders are those who clearly has it coming.
