David Trauger was born into a military family and rose through the ranks to Lieutenant General. He is mostly fearless, cold, and expects perfection from the people around him.

Warning, Spoilers
After imprisoning the Demigoddess Alma, something deep within David’s mind tells him to trust her. He places his two most competent physicists, Major Craig Halverson and Captain Stacey Martin, in charge of figuring out how Alma can do the things she does. Alma and David have a contentious relationship for the first half of the story with her pushing boundaries to test his military rigidity.
Never mentioned in the book, David is actually a Demigod, Ymir’s God of War. No one, not even David, knows this except for Dawn. Dawn hides many of Ymir’s secrets from both Alma and David.
Throughout the book, David leads the American military into wars with several alien species. These wars were crafted by Ymir to advance the human military’s technological capabilities.
