"This opera of despair is now in its final act.
They're waiting for your curtain call in the land of the dead!"
David (ダビデ or デイビット) is a recurring demon in the series.
History
"A violinist of inhuman power who appears as a skeleton. He travels around Europe with the gypsies and plays his enchanting violin that causes people to dance the dance of death."
David is more than likely based off of an old French superstition that's focused on in the tone poem Danse Macabre (Camille Saint-Saens), which tells about how Death summons the dead from their graves every midnight on Halloween, to dance "their dance of death" for him while he played the violin. They dance until the cock crows at dawn, Death leaves and the dead return to their graves.

Profile
Shin Megami Tensei
David is one of three rare and difficult bosses (Fiends) that can be found hidden throughout the game. If you beat him, he has a slim chance of dropping the Stradivari, the most powerful Neutral-aligned weapon in the game.
Shin Megami Tensei IV
David appears in the Challenge Quest Dance of the Dead. Where his music has affected nearby villages with a fatal disease that turns one pitch black, leading to the quest to defeat him. He has brought force five Calamity Hordes which dance to his tune, and appears to face Flynn after the last ones defeat. With his defeat he is impressed that he could evade his curse. He warns him that it is not that easy to evade death, and that he will appear in another form eventually before saying farewell and dying.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey
David first appears in the EX Mission "Escape Plan", harassing members of the Strike Team who participated in the feint operation made for the protagonist to confront Master Mitra, and are now trapped due to being hemmed in by a multitude of demons. After killing the team's leader, David proceeded to stalk them through the sector, the music from his violin allowing the remaining strike team members to discern his location, but also unnerving them at the same time. When the Protagonist helps the team find their way out, they find David stationed at the door they need to take to return to the Red Sprite, waiting for them. After defeating David, he becomes available for summoning using the Demonica's Demon Summoning Program with the Fiend Converter subapp.
David's dialogue and the ending of the EX Mission changes depending on the number of wrong doors the Protagonist chooses. Behind every wrong door are demons that will ambush the team, which results in the death of one of the strike team members. If the Protagonist manages to guide the team correctly, the entire team survives after David is defeated. If there were any casualties earlier due to the Protagonist's wrong choices, after David is defeated, a pack of demons will ambush Dawson and Keema who are the first two to rush out of the door leading back to the Red Sprite. Dawson and Keema will then sacrifice themselves, pulling a grenade to decimate the high level demons along with their heavily injured selves.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
One of the four new bosses included in the PSP Version of Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, David can only be fought after beating the game once. Its design is based on the Latter Human Type 2 form of Zeed in Soul Hackers.
