David/Evil Dead

David is a fictional character featured in the Evil Dead film series. Played by actor Shiloh Fernandez, he was one of the main characters from the 2013 remake of Evil Dead.

Biography
David was a young man and the older brother of a recovering heroin addict named Mia. He was the boyfriend of a girl named Natalie and owned a pet dog named Grandpa. David, Mia, Natalie, and their friends Eric and Olivia went to a cabin in the woods with the intent of staying there until Mia could recover from her addiction.

They found various occult related items at the cabin, including a book with demonic spells and incantations written inside. Eric read aloud from the book, which awakened dark malevolent forces that took control of Mia. David, unaware as yet as to what had happened to her, found her out in the woods and brought her back to the cabin. Mia began taking a shower in scalding hot water, and David decided to take her to the hospital. Bad rain prevented them from leaving however, and he was forced to bring her back. He then found his dog, Grandpa, dead, underneath a shed near the cabin.

The possessed Mia began attacking others, injuring first Eric then Natalie. Natalie was infected by the demonic force and attacked David, who shot her arm off, which led to her bleeding to death. David subdued Mia and then took her outside where he buried her alive. He then dug her up and revived her, which succeeded in exorcising the demon. Eric however, was now possessed, and stabbed David in the neck. David used a gun to shoot a gasoline can, which exploded destroying both Eric and himself.
