What They Know
- Witnessed Steelheart bleed in the First Union Bank — the only known person who saw it happen and survived
- Steelheart's weakness: he can only be harmed by someone who does not fear him — David's father wounded him because he was shooting at Deathpoint, not afraid of Steelheart at that moment
- Maintains encyclopedic notebooks on Epic powers, behaviors, and weaknesses — years of obsessive research
- Discovers that the Darkness (Epic corruption) can be resisted by facing your deepest fear instead of fleeing it — the key revelation of the series
- Joins the Reckoners to kill Steelheart, eventually becomes their leader after Prof's corruption
- Terrible at metaphors — consistently, spectacularly, endearingly terrible
