Dave

Dave is a part of James's friend group, who goes with them on some of the later delves. He works at an animal shelter and loves dogs. He can take a little longer to process things and likes routines. He can come across as annoying, but is a very loyal friend.

Book One
Initially, James does not want to tell Dave about The Dungeon. However, they decide to bring Dave in at the same time as JP. Dave is only comfortable delving since he feels that he can safely back out at any time.

Dave is the only one to remember that James's and Anesh's apartment has three bedrooms. He is able to reveal it, opening the second half of the book when Sarah's existence is discovered.

Dave is also the one to figure out how to create a new creature in the dungeon. He builds a small dragon out of tape, binder clips, sticky notes, and pens. He calls it a pendragon and is able to bring it to life with three yellow orbs. He also figures out how to properly absorb blue orbs, by thinking of them as tools.

Dave is nearly killed in the fight against Karen, and falls off the edge of where they are fighting. However, he is rescued by a grown Pendragon.
