Editing Eidolon (section)

==History==
===Background===
David was born with a severe illness and was confined to a wheelchair for most of his life, facing regular seizures.

Before being approached by [[Doctor Mother]] he wanted to become more independent, applied to the army and was subsequently turned down, which made him try to commit suicide.<ref name="I27"/>

When Eidolon gained his powers, he was one of a rare few who did not forget the vision of the [[Entity]] they saw. [[Doctor Mother]] speculated that his [[passenger]] had not been limited, unlike most powers.<ref name="29.7">[[Venom 29.7]]</ref>

As Eidolon, he was a founding member of the [[Protectorate]]. After [[Hero]]'s death, he became the leader of a smaller team based in [[Houston]].<ref name="R1">Around the time that they were a group, they were simply 'the Protectorate' or 'the guys at the top'. You could say, perhaps, that the loss of Hero splintered the team. They didn't hate each other or resent each other, but it was about time, and served as the catalyst to the group each going to their own individual cities - New York, LA, & Houston. - [https://redd.it/3koqyc Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

In 2009 at Madison, Eidolon was a major part in fighting [[The Simurgh]] off and was recognized as such.<ref name="R3.1">In the aftermath, he gets a lion's share of the credit in the Endbringer defeat like Eidolon did with the Simurgh in Madison. - [https://redd.it/4arfdp Comment by wildbow on Reddit]</ref>

===[[Battle against Leviathan]]===
During the fight he worked with Myrddin to mitigate the effects of tidal waves created by the Endbringer, along with helping the wounded heroes.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/10/extermination-8-3/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.3]]</ref> 
After [[Scion]] makes the appearance Eidolon helps pin down [[Leviathan]] with the manipulation of the water, freezing it into walls around the Endbringer.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/extermination-8-5/ Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.5]]</ref> 
=== [[New Delhi]] ===
During the whole encounter, he's noted as being at the epicenter of the fight along with [[Legend]] and [[Alexandria]].

At the beginning of the fight, he works in coordination with Legend to slow down [[Behemoth|the Endbringer]]'s movement. After Alexandria's ([[Pretender]]) arrival he adopts more of a hit-and-run approach with a melee powerset and a time bubble slowing down Behemoth's movement, to help Alexandria's own efforts in hitting the Endbringer hard enough to topple and drive him back. Their coordinated efforts are noted to throw Behemoth off his game and with the help of [[Clockblocker]]'s frozen strings they are able to deal substantial damage to his body.

He's involved in [[Weaver]]'s and [[Phir Se]] plan of killing the Endbringer. He creates an inviolable forcefield, which contains Phir Se's light to an area surrounding Behemoth. In the final stand in the Temple, he creates a green field around the structure, which keeps it from collapsing.

After [[Scion]]'s arrival, Eidolon helps keep the Endbringer from retreating, arresting his momentum in the sky with a violet forcefield and he stands witness to the destruction of Behemoth with Scion's golden light.<ref>[[Interlude 24.x]]</ref>

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
Tried to help against the [[Slaughterhouse Nine Hold Apartment Hostage]] but was turned away by [[Weaver]], who pointed out that while she could be put down if she became evil, Eidolon would be much harder to contain.<ref>[[Sting 26.3]]</ref>

===[[Gold Morning]]===
Eidolon participated in the [[oil-rig battle]] alongside the rest of the [[Triumvirate]].<ref name="27.5">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/24/extinction-27-5/ Extinction 27.5]</ref> [[Glaistig Uaine]] taught him how to drain other parahumans, bringing him back to his peak strength. Together, they drove [[Scion]] across dimensions. Scion, increasingly hard-pressed, used his path-to-victory ability to convince Eidolon to give up.<ref name="I27">[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/27 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 27.x]]</ref> Glaistig Uaine harvested Eidolon's shard<ref name="29.2">[[Venom 29.2]]</ref> keeping him in the fight.

===Post-[[Mathers Compound Assault|Fallen Fall]]===
After [[Gold Morning]], Eidolon's energy reserves are nearly spent: [[Valkyrie]] did not use his shade as she believed the cost of replenishing it was too high.<ref>''The Simurgh'', was the reply.<br><br>Almost instinctively, another spirit deep inside her shifted, agitated.  Eidolon.  David.  The man’s battery was nearly spent, and the cost of replenishing it was high.<br><br>Stirred to life by the mere mention of his long-time opponent. - [[Interlude 9 II]]</ref>
