I am thinking about how Daud says “who I was doesn’t matter, all that will be left of me is your memories” to Billie. Something something Daud doesn’t want to be remembered, he wants to fade out of people’s memories, act like he never existed but to Billie it’s an exception.

YEAH!!! throughout dauds adult life even, he lived int he shadows - though he was notorious, he actively led a hidden life and much if his life is undocumented. And then, form the moment corvo spared him or even before, Daud wanted to recede from life further into the shadows like his hairline from his forehead, until his name almost passed to legend. And then, with that line, hes also acknowledging that like, what he did in life ultimately doesn't matter - the knife of dunwall may be a fringe on the edge of people's memories, fewer will know the name Daud, and perhaps his tale will be embellished until it is far from the truth, but most likely stories will fade as public fascination with the fearsome supernatural assassin dwindles - for him, he leaves no final mark, no documents, nothing concrete behind. And the only person who perhaps ever got to glimpse the real Daud beyond the scowl and the grimness, the man who killed and empress and changed his path in life, was Billie. And for Daud, Billie remembering him, is all he really wants? Billie is the only person who will remember his existence and his real story.

But also, it highlights the BIAS of memories too - that the truth is irrelevant what with no formal documents etc. - and that Billies memories are the only source left for Daud's story

And even then is it truly Daud’s real story? She will only remember what she saw of him.
