While all Goa'uld are maniacal, egotistical and arrogant, David is more clever than most, and has a sound mind for complexity and convoluted schemes. Notably, he is also infamous for being even more melodramatic than the rest of the Goa'uld, causing his brother Michael to remark at one point, "Oh, come on. Who talks like that?" David, due to his existence as pure spirit and consciousness, is seen only through character, and never truly through appearance. David appears as a shadowy hooded figure wearing a large black cloak. Instead of a human face, all that can be seen under the hood is a shifting energy field similar to the event horizon of the Stargate. This is because David, as spirit, cannot hold a form, and must use a complex forcefield to give him shape within his cloak.

David was exiled 1,000 years ago from the collective System Lords for "crimes unspeakable, even to the Goa'uld". Long thought dead, David returned in the wake of his father, Christopher's, defeat and began to dominate the galaxy using advanced technology superior to that of the Goa'uld. He recruited other exiled Goa'uld such as Raoul Hernandez, Johnny T., and Zoumis to aid him in conquering the galaxy.

David is a half-Ascended being, meaning that he is partially ethereal, having almost converted his body to energy and risen to a higher plane of existence. This transformation was discovered by the Ancients, perhaps the most advanced race ever to exist in the galaxy, that have long since all ascended. Refusing to allow David amongst their ranks, the Ancients somehow managed to "de-ascend" David and forced him back to this plane of existence, stopping short of completely returning him to physical existence. Being partially ascended allowed David to gain much of the knowledge of the Ancients, which allowed him to use much of their technology, giving him the advantage over the other Goa'uld that enabled him to become the most dangerous of all System Lords.
