David of Lassar

David of Lassar is a human Dragon Rider and one of the last remaining members of the Order of the Dragon Riders, also known as the ODR. David of Lassar often wears powerful dragon armour and has black hair. Dragon Riders never age, so David is now about 6,000 years old. David is known to use a special dragon two handed sword, called the Curse of Dragons, which, due to his great strength, David could wield in a single hand, striking great fear in his enemies.

Lassar
David of Lassar was born in the year 1,900 of the Second Age as a son of the commander of the Zarosian fortress of Lassar. When he was 5 years old his father trained him to become a member of his militia, but due to continuous attacks of the southern Saradominist cities David's father sent him away at the age of 14.

Dareeyak
He was sent away to the fortress of Dareeyak, located in what is now the Wilderness, so he would be safe. This was a wise decision, as two months later Lassar was destroyed by a Saradominst army, and David's parents and friends were killed in the battle. David swore to get revenge for the slaughter of his family, and continued his training for 10 years, fighting in many battles and gaining a lot of experience.

Becoming a Dragon Rider
In the year 1924 of the Second Age Zamorak, who was still mortal, sent a message to Dareeyak saying that he was no longer an ally of Zaros and that he needed warriors to fight at his side. David immediately volunteered to fight by Zamorak, seeing this as a great opportunity to gain revenge on those who killed his friends and family at Lassar.

David went to Zamorak's castle and Zamorak, seeing David's great power, gave him the powerful white dragon Guruk. Zamorak also casted his magic on David so that he would never age. However, this did not make him invincible.

Separation from Zamorak
When Zamorak became a god, about 50 years later, he didn't need the dragon riders any more, and David got separated from his friends.

God Wars
In the Third Age David fights on Zamorak's side in the god wars, partially to show his respect for Zamorak, and partially because he wanted the legendary Godsword, which he never did obtain. David's dragon, Guruk, was slain during the God Wars by a Saradominist knight. After the God Wars not much is known about David's whereabouts.

ODR
In the Fifth Age David of Lassar met a few other dragon riders and set up the ODR, so that the dragon riders would join once again and fight under Zamorak. In the ODR he met Preclara, and they became good friends.
