History of David Vickers:

David Vickers grew up committing petty crimes and cons with his father and big brother Spencer. As a young man, David arrived in Llanview and pretended to be Victor Lord's son. David soon met and fell in love with his "sister" Tina Lord. Shortly after revealing the truth that he wasn't a Lord, Tina agreed to marry him and they snuck off to Vegas and tied the knot.

Viki's alter Jean eventually forced David to divorce Tina and marry Dorian in order to avoid going to prison for his scheme against the family. While married to Dorian, David met Dorian's young niece's Kelly Cramer, who fell in love with him. Later, Dorian and David were divorced, and David left town with nothing.

In 2001, Todd Manning asked David to help him with an illegal adoption of Blair's baby, which Todd had thought was hers and Max's child. After finding out the baby was really his, Todd forced David to tell him where the baby was placed. Todd tricked David and had the Moroccan police arrest him after he made it appear he was the mastermind of the illegal adoption of Jack Manning.

David reappeared in Llanview two years later and took Dorian hostage in his effort to get the Badhra diamond. During his con, David fell in love with Dorian and the feelings became mutual. Dorian refused to marry David for quite sometime, but eventually she accepted his proposal. However, David's evil brother Spencer Truman entered the piture and blackmailed David into leaving Dorian at the altar. Later, the information Spencer had against his brother came to light, and David admitted to his involement with John McBain's father's death. It was later revealed, it was Spencer who caused the death of Thomas McBain.

Due to Viki's friendship with him, David has since tried to change his bad ways and become the man Viki believes he can be. Little does David know, he is also the son of Asa Buchanan and would be worth millions. Presently, in his plan to get back at Dorian, David has married her sister Addie Cramer. Clint Buchanan, who knows the truth about David will begin to use his marriage to Addie to his advantage in getting Buchanan Enterprises back from Dorian Lord. It's also only a matter of time before David learns the truth about his real father, but how he reacts to this news may be the biggest test in his life yet to come.
