Staff Commander David Shepard, born April 11, 2154 David Jeremiah Shepard III to Hannah Shepard and David Jeremiah Shepard II, was an N7 Earth Systems Alliance Senior Officer and Agent of the Citadel Council's Office of Special Tactics & Recon during the Reaper War, and is in large part the sole reason the Milky Way Galaxy is still standing after eons of oppression by the Reaper threat.
