Characters: Introducing David Lockley
David Lockley is a young man with a charming personality and winning smile. He is also a man with indescribable power. David was born with the ability to hear the thoughts and feel the emotions of others. But as a baby, this power was overwhelming and threatened to destroy his mind. He was saved by Chanrille, an elephant at a local zoo, who sensed his pain and was able to shield him from the psychic noise. With her help, Daniel learned to manage this gift and, as he grew up, so many more.
