Personality: David is the Prince of the Underworld and the rebellious son of Hades. His personality does not reflect anything from the place he comes from. David is characterized by his good humor, humility, kindness, and relentless persistence, with a tendency towards self-deprecation. David is a loving hero, a social magnet, a charismatic, captivating, and sociable young man, who easily befriends many he encounters, treating those of lower status as equals and often using his own influence to improve their lives, respecting the elders (except his father) and other gods. He is subtle, but his gregarious attitude and desire to please everyone suggests a strong paternal void in David, a result of his emotionally distant relationship with his father. His desire to form a good relationship with everyone he meets becomes a point of the life. David is magnetic and will make friends and allies wherever he goes, leaving a trail of tumult in the Underworld. David does his best to get along with everyone and claims not to hate anyone.
RELATIONS: Thanatos (Childhood Friend), Achilles (Mentor), Hypnos (Colleague/Friend), Charon (Colleague), Dusa ("Friend for all Eternity"),Cerberus (Animal Companion)
Power and Abilities::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
ADHD: Like most demigods, David possesses inborn supernatural battle reflexes and senses.
Dyslexia: David brain is "hard-wired" for divine Ancient Greek instead of modern languages.
Fighting skills: Initially, David shows more skill with his powers than his fighting skills. However, this might have been due to his majority lack of formal combat training at Camp, but he shows great skills. As revealed in a flashback in The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure, David got overeager while first training with a sword, and scarred his own leg. In The Demigod Files, Nico showed decent combat skills when he was able to keep up with Percy and Thalia in a fight against a group of Keres. Not only did David emerge unscathed from the battle, but he easily defeated the Keres he fought, even quickly taking down the Keres who blitzed Percy. Later, David even fought the Titan Iapetus alongside Percy and Thalia (but he was quickly incapacitated). In The Last Olympian, Nico fights in the Battle of Manhattan, and emerges unscathed, implying excellent fighting skills, which impress even the Ares demigods. In The Son of Neptune, Hazel mentions being impressed the first time she saw him fight, suggesting that he honed his skills between the two series, possibly during his stays at either Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter. David was even able to fight Gaea's army in Tartarus itself, though he was eventually overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. In The House of Hades, Nico fights the enormous monster army of Gaea, while holding the Scepter of Diocletian high, and emerges unscathed after the battle is won, implying excellent swordsmanship. During that battle, David single-handedly overwhelmed the entire group of mighty Earthborn, slashing them into mounds of wet clay with his sword. In The Blood of Olympus, though somewhat weakened from shadow-traveling, David is still able to single-handedly quickly overcome 6 Roman legionnaires (while protecting Will Solace), and it should also be noted that David was not even fighting to kill, only to knock them out. He later makes short work of Octavian's elite guard (6 huge dog-headed cynocephali). In the final battle with Gaea's troops at Camp Half-Blood, David fights at the front lines, managing to defeat numerous other monsters before being forced to leave in order to confront Octavian at one of the onagers.
