English Dave

Background

David, known as English Dave, is a booking agent and promoter from England with a heavy cockney accent and a habit of talking about London. He is calm and spiritual, greeting people with "One love" and meditating in odd places, but he also has a long-running cocaine habit that several rehab attempts failed to break. He is voiced by Stuart Ward and debuts in the After Hours update (1.44) in July 2018.

Role in GTA Online

Tony Prince brings Dave in to help launch the player's nightclub, and Dave pushes for European DJ talent. He goes with the player to LSIA to collect Solomun, whose jet must be chased until it crash-lands at Sandy Shores Airfield. For Tale of Us he demands an Enus Stafford, which the player steals, only for the requirement to turn out to be a mix-up he blames on Lazlow Jones. He loses Dixon's backpack to a thief at The Richman Hotel, and he calls for a Cargobob rescue when The Black Madonna is arrested at a rave. He also phones with DJ favors in free roam.

In The Cayo Perico Heist (2020) he appears at The Music Locker with the Madrazo family, joins the scoping trip to the island, rides to Juan Strickler's beach party and then stays behind on Cayo Perico. During the heist finale he can be found locked in a cage beside El Rubio's panther.

Personality

Dave is very hard to anger. His sharpest moment comes when nightclub popularity drops below 50 percent and he calls to demand promotions.

Trivia

• He gives the player a Weevil with the "Love Machine" livery.
• Pavel and El Rubio refer to him as "the Englishman."
