The Dark Diviner
David Martin (a.k.a. The Dark Diviner)
Background
David Martin grew up as a highly intelligent child with an insatiable curiosity. His intelligence, combined with certain behavioral tendencies, led to numerous diagnoses throughout his life — obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism spectrum, attention deficit, paranoia, even schizotypal disorder. Though he accepted these labels, David never let them define him; to him, they were just terms used by people to make sense of his unconventional mind.
As a child, David had an incredible knack for unraveling complex puzzles, solving riddles, and finding answers to questions that others considered impossible. His keen intellect led him to become an expert in pattern recognition and logic, talents that could have easily led him into fields like investigative work or journalism. However, David's passion was in sparking joy and curiosity in others, and he pursued a career in toy design, believing that puzzles and games could bring the same sense of wonder he felt to others. Together with his best friend, Andrew Gagnon, he co-founded Martin & Gagnon Toys, creating intricate puzzles and clever toys that challenged and inspired.
Everything changed when Andrew was found dead, his death ruled as a suicide by the authorities. David knew better; he knew his friend would never take his own life. Stricken by grief and driven by a need for justice, David resolved to investigate Andrew's death. It was this tragedy that led David to become the vigilante known as the Dark Diviner. He donned an armored trench coat, a wide-brimmed hat, and a dark mask, transforming himself into a faceless force for uncovering hidden truths.
David uncovered a complex conspiracy involving the Scottish Mafia, political corruption, and a power-hungry kingpin — all of which had led to Andrew's death. His obsessive drive, sharp intellect, and unmatched attention to detail allowed him to bring the guilty to justice, exposing the hidden rot within Ottawa's power structures. Though it brought him closure, it also awakened David to the extent of corruption in his city. He realized how many other lost causes were being ignored, and how many truths remained buried beneath Ottawa's polished surface.
This realization drove him to continue as the Dark Diviner, using his talents to unravel conspiracies, fight crime, and shed light on the shadows of Ottawa.
Personality David Martin is a complex individual, both blessed and burdened with a brilliant but relentless mind. He is highly intelligent, analytical, and observant, able to see connections and solve problems that others cannot. However, his obsession with finding the truth, his paranoia, and his drive to understand everything around him have led him to live a life of solitude and secrecy. He is often seen as aloof or detached, as he struggles to connect with others on an emotional level.
David is highly focused and driven, with a deep sense of justice and an unwavering determination to expose corruption and bring the guilty to justice. He is a man of principles who believes that no case is ever truly a "lost cause" — that every mystery deserves to be solved, every injustice confronted. His obsessive nature can sometimes lead him into dangerous situations, but it also gives him the persistence needed to see his investigations through to the end.
Though he rarely shows it, David is haunted by the death of his friend Andrew. It was this tragedy that set him on the path of the Dark Diviner, and it is Andrew's memory that drives him to continue. Despite the hardships he faces, David finds fulfillment in his work as a vigilante, knowing that he is making a difference and bringing light to the darkest corners of Ottawa.
David's personality as the Dark Diviner is marked by his sharp wit and cunning. He often speaks in a precise and deliberate manner, and he has a tendency to drop cryptic hints and riddles when interacting with allies or foes. He prefers to remain hidden, working from the shadows, and he has cultivated an almost mythic reputation as an enigmatic figure who knows too much and sees what others cannot.
