He is a C-rank Scout with remarkable abilities and interesting eyes. He refers to himself as a painter.
Originally, David Hockney was an underling of Hell Joe. Alongside Yuliu Mata, he was tasked with searching for fragments of Enryu's Thorn in exchange for a way out of the Floor of Death. However, he became changed after finding a fragment, with his soul bonded to a painting he drew at the site where the fragment was located. Afterwards, he refused to help Hell Joe. Enraged, Hell Joe violently took out his eyes and tried to use them to find the rest of the fragments, but to no avail. Meanwhile, Mata took Hockney to Grand De Jah and begged him to restore his eyes. The latter couldn't as his soul was no longer in the Spirit Room. Instead, he offered his own eyes to Hockney in exchange for carrying out a secret task outside of the Floor of Death. After being implanted with De Jah's eyes, Hockney lost consciousness and most of his memories. He later left the Floor of Death but continued to feel a sense of emptiness due to his incomplete soul, which was fragmented along with the painting binding it.
