Early Life
Davis' might very well have been destined to die as an infant. While initially a healthy and vigorous little bundle of life, only a week after his conception did he take extremely ill. His body temperature was constantly rising and he grew thinner with each passing day, crying constantly as if in pain. However still, no doctor anywhere could find any answers as to what was plaguing the young infant, as all tests concluded that he was indeed healthy. That gave his desperate parents little comfort, as the child didn't seem to get any better. Desperate, they eventually turned to alternative medicines, yet even there they would not find salvation for their dying son. That was, until they came into contact with Fei Fumen, a seemingly inconspicous acupuncturist working out of a small dojo in Chinatown.
When the infant was brought before her, the old lady immedietally knew what was the cause of his suffering: The boy had extraordinary levels of chi within his body, but somehow they had been tainted by the Dragon's influence and were now slowly killing the child from within. Using everything she knew about old medicine, Lady Fumen and her daughter Xiang managed to cull the foul influence, though they couldn't purify it entirely as they were. For Davis to be completely free of the foul essence of the dragon, Lady Fumen would need to bring him before the masters at the Yengtao temple in China. Left with little choice but to believe the old lady, Davis' parents made preparations to move to China almost immedietally, together with Lady Fumen, her daughter Xiang Marcus and her son-in-law Eddie Marcus.
At the temple, Lady Fumen managed to gather enough Chi with the help of local monks in order to expel the entirety of the Dragon's essence from Davis' body, completely purifying him in body and soul. The child got better almost immedietally, to his parent's great joy and relief. However, there was still worry to be had about the young child. Lady Fumen believed that the child wasn't targeted like this for nothing, and that there was still a chance that agents of the Dragon would still, for whatever reason, attempt to once again infuse the child with the Dragon's essence if they were given the chance. Lady Fumen asked to have the child study with her, among the untamed mountains of Asia, in order to master his chi so that it couldn't be sullied once more. While reluctant, Davis' parents were soon talked into it by local monks who shared Lady Fumen's worries.
