Dave is a man of scholarly build who has clearly spent the last few years outdoors. He has short, silvering brown hair and wears a pair of perfectly clean, round silver spectacles. His armor is high quality green-dyed studded leather, but it is often covered in small patches of hay or dried mud from the pastures. He has a calm, paternal look about him.

Intellectual, precise, and surprisingly earthy. Dave treats all livestock, especially cows, with the level of formal respect one would usually reserve for royalty. He is quiet and studious, preferring to take notes on animal behavior rather than engage in small talk, but he can become extremely loud and passionate when discussing the virtues of different cattle breeds.

Dave Midey spent two decades as the chief archivist at a prestigious historical academy. While his colleagues were researching ancient empires and dragon cycles, Dave became obsessed with the humble history of agriculture. He discovered a collection of lost scrolls detailing the Primordial Heifer, a celestial spirit said to be the protector of all life on the plains. Driven by a need to verify these ancient texts, Dave left his comfortable library and trained himself in the arts of the wild to track down the descendants of this spiritual entity. He transitioned from a man of ink to a man of the earth. He now roams the frontiers, acting as a self-appointed guardian for nomadic herds. He uses his immense intelligence to solve agricultural crises and his archery skills to keep predators away from his beloved bovines. He carries his research journals everywhere, continuing to document every bull and cow he encounters in the wild.
