David Mason

David Mason was born in 1979 to CIA Agent Alex Mason and his unidentified wife. Raised in his father's hometown of Fairbanks, Alaska, David's relationship with his father soured after the death of his mother. Due to his father's past experiences, harsh upbringing, and his commitment to serve the U.S., David held a deep resentment towards his dad but did not want to lose him, which was why he made his dad promise to not go on any more missions for the military. In spite of their shaky relationship, David still had some positive memories of his father, such as fishing with him or being taught how to handle his first gun. In 1996, David was commissioned as a Naval officer and made it into the Navy's elite U.S. Navy SEALs in 2000. After a few years serving with the SEALs, David was recruited into the ultra-elite SEAL Team Six by the mid-2000s, operating at the highest levels of Special Operations, and proving himself in counterterrorism missions across the Middle East. It was during his time in the Navy that David met Mike Harper, another elite Navy operative, and the two became close friends. Having risen to the rank of Lieutenant Commander, by the 2020s David had attained the rank of Commander within Joint Special Operations Command - an elite counterterrorism unit specializing in high-risk threats. David, going by his callsign "Section", would eventually form a task force with his long-time colleague and friend Mike Harper, as well as operatives Javier Salazar, Crosby, and King.
