David Fleming

David Fleming is a villain who appeared in the Canadian TV series, "Flashpoint".

He is played by Canadian actor, Michael Shanks who is best known for his role as Dr. Daniel Jackson in the long-running Canadian/American sci-fi series, Stargate SG-1.

Pre-Series
Most of David Fleming's history is unknown but at some point, he met Natalie Braddock, the brother of Sam Braddock with the two beginning a romantic relationship although it can be presumed that the relationship was one-sided.

On their way home, both David and Natalie were caught with drugs in their luggage and as such, both wound up in a jail in Colombia.

Although Natalie was eventually arrested thanks to her father who was a General, David was not so fortunate and remained in the jail for a prolonged amount of time where he was tortured with the effects of the torture resulting in David becoming emotionally and psychologically damaged.

The torture also left him with a permanent scar that lay beneath the right side of his stomach and just beside his bellybutton.

At some point, after spending ten months in jail, David was eventually freed from jail and returned to Canada a month prior to the events of "Blue On Blue" although he was left consumed with a strong desire for revenge against Natalie.

It is also presumed that at some point he did some digging into Natalie's past and discovered that she was now dating Mike "Spike" Scarlatti, a member of Team One.

David also formed a partnership with Vince Albin.

Personality
David is a psychopathic man who has little no regard for human life. He also displays no remorse whatsoever for his actions and is so driven by the need for revenge that he tends to ignore anyone who tries to reason with him.

He also clearly displays alpha male or dominant behavior and does not tolerate being challenged or doubted which it is seen when he kills his partner.
