An only child, he grew up well looked after, and was soon following in his father's footsteps in the profession of accountancy. David married in 1933 to Elizabeth Erston, and seven years later in 1940 they had two children -twin boys, Harrison and Henry. David's parents died in 1943, his father dying first of cancer, and his mother following soon after; some say of a broken heart and grief. David soon rose high in the firm he had first been employed in, and as such he was shown deeper secrets -one of which was a gentlemen's club who debated the supernatural, occult, and occassionally the far future. David showed little enthusiasm for the occult -due to his inability to comprehend, and thus understand and order its existence within his own world view. An elderly member of the club -labelled informally as the Society of Enlightenment- showed David Landon a way to comprehend, but it meant the Embrace. This happened on the night of December 20th 1951. David tried his best to explain his situation to Elizabeth upon his return from the club that night -but the Hunger was upon him and instead he fed from her. He left his life, but still kept watch over his wife and children. In 1961 Elizabeth Landon died in a car crash. as for David's sons, Harrison died in 1984 leaving a widow -Janice- and a daughter -Sarah. Janice has since committed suicide, never having gotten over her husband's death. Sarah Landon lives in the same city as her Grandfather, aged 22 years, not knowing she has an undead guardian. Henry is still alive and lives with his wife and 3 children in Seattle.
