Early Life
David Kilgore was born in 2572 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Battle of Kanna
During the Battle of Kanna, David lead a platoon of M-1050 Brown Bear Anti-Heavy Walker Vehicles as part of the UNSC Sixth Armored Division force to take back Danel City. David was present at multiple engagements with Covenant Remnant forces including the recapture of the Danel City Air-Space Port and the Danel City industrial disrict. In both engagements, David sucessfully destroyed at least one Remnant Scarab Ultra Heavy Assault Platform.

Necros War
David joined the UNSC Marine Corps Armored Forces shortly before first contact with the Necros, in 2590.

Third Battle of Linna
By this time, David had reached the rank of First Lieutenant, commanding eight M-1050 Brown Bear Anti-Heavy Walker Vehicles. He was sent Linna to engage a new enemy referred to by HIGHCOM as the Necros. Kilgore was part of the Sixth Armored Division also equipped with Scorpion tanks, Monitor AVPs, Komodo Laser AVPs and Tiger Heavy Tanks that was deployed to guard a major highway through a mountain pass, and the only path through which the Necros could send their massive Gravedigger Ultra-Heavy Assault Platforms and Tyrant Super-Heavy Assault Walkers. David deployed his platoon on the mountainside above the road, using a several old dirt roads through the forests above the main highway, so as to fire down on the Necros Walkers. The Necros column the pass, A Tyrant Super-Heavy Assault Walker, leading ten Gravedigger UHAPs, several more smaller Stalker and Dominator walkers and a division's worth of Necros Compound Tanks. "So those are the Necros", David said, before giving one command into the radio: "All Bears, OPEN FIRE!!!" David grabbed the joystick and pointed the Brown Bear's turret at the enemy walkers. The targeting computer locked on to the Tyrant and seven of the Gravediggers automatically. David squeezed the trigger. Eight AWM-2 Anti-Walker missiles left the launch tubes of Brown Bear's turret as the rest of David's platoon followed suit. David's first missile flew straight down the the Tyrant Super-Heavy Walker's missile launch tubes and detonated as it impacted the Tyrant's internal ordnace supply, causing an explosive chain reaction that de-stabilized the core. The Super-Heavy Walker exploded in a massive ball of fire. David yelled "Sic semper tyrannus!!!", "Thus always to tyrants" in Latin, as the Super-Heavy Walker exploded. Sixty-three more AWM-2 missiles slammed into the sides of the Necros walkers, their explosively-formed penetrators blasting through the armor of the alien war machines before the follow-through explosive charge detonated and shattered the walkers from the inside. The pass was filled with a sheet of flames, Gravediggers, Dominators, Stalkers, and the lone Tyrant that had become their own funeral pyres. The Necros tanks that followed were knocked out one by one by the UNSC tanks and anti-armor platforms. The engagement was a rout.

Operation:ORPHEUS
After his capture by the Necros during the battle of (battle pending), David Kilgore was sent to a Necros Slaughterhouse-class Conversion Ship, where a failed conversion left him as a Revenant. The David was placed on a conversion line where all four of his limbs were removed and replaced with mechanical limbs with a titanium skeleton and Necros bio-engineered muscles, controled by a nueral interface. Before the Necros could destroy most of his brain and replace it with a computer to place him under their total control, David was rescued by CH-2 (Rene) and a squad of IBSTs as part of Operation:ORPHEUS. After being rescued, David siezed a Necros Pulse Rifle from a Necros Warrior form killed by the IBSTs and charged into the next room in the conversion ship in search of revenge. David surprised a squad of Necros infantry and killed them all. It was not until after he was returned to a UNSC base that David discovered the true extent of his modifications. In addition to his mechanical limbs, the Necros had added support devices to increase the efficiency of his organs and inserted cybernetic implants in his spinal cord to speed up his reaction times considerably. David's red blood cells were replaced with a Necros creation known as "black blood cells", which carry more oxygen. David also has a weapon built into both his his arms. He has an artificial gravity generator in his left arm to increase the force of his punches, and a pulse carbine in his right. The weapons are normally not visible, and is stored internally. It is only visible when the palm of David's mechanical hands retract to reveal the barrel, usually when he is preparing to fire. In addition to his built in weapons, David's mechanical hands are capable of using any UNSC, Necros or other weapon. The neural interface the Necros inserted into David's brain enables him to communicate with and even take control of Necros machinery such as air/spacecraft. This makes David, like other Revenants, an important asset to the UNSC.

Operation:SKYJACKER
Operation SKYJACKER was an attempt to capture a Necros Adversary Fighter through the use of a UNSC AI, Gungnir. Using IFF codes captured from the Necros, as well as the Necros-like appearance David had gained after he became a Revenant, David managed to sneak into a Necros Airfield on (planet pending). The Necros did not become aware of David's identity until after Gungnir had been placed into the fighter and taken off. Both David and Gungnir sucessfully escaped the airfield, David killing several Necros infantry and two Nemesis LRVs whilst making his escape aboard a LRV of his own. Most of the Necros casualties, however, were credited to Gungnir, who used the guns and missiles of the captured Adversary to eliminate all of the Necros aircraft based at the airfield and destroy several Necros ground vehicles that stood in the way of David's escape to his extraction point, where he was picked up by a Pelican Dropship and escaped an orbiting UNSC carrier along with Gungnir and the hijacked Adversary.
