Description:
What kind of retribution Daud would give to clients who try to skip on payments
He'd need them alive, to spread the word that you don't skip payment on the Knife
hed not kill them. But hed maim them or their love ones, cause pain until they pay up. remove an ear. a finger. more and more the longer they dint pay. Threaten to drop them off of a building. hed maim them for sure. break legs, bones. permanently incapacitate them, as a sign of what hapoens if you cross the Knife of Dunwall
then yoinks all their mone
he hasnt had to do that in years, because the nobles now know all too well the consequences
The maiming process is slow though. Like slowly pulling someone’s eyeball out. I guess snapping someone’s bone isn’t too slow.
but hed also leave them to suffer and come back. like leave them time to think
Young Daud who just started killing for nobles instead of gang members, and has to face a customer pool who look down on him and is much more likely to think they can get away with not paying. because like, gang members in general know that the one you do not want pissed off at you is the assassin thats freelance anyway. meanwhile a noble sees some commoner they got to do the dirty work for them, and its like "eh, lets see what we can get away with we're better anyway". also nobles generally being entitled and thinking they can get away w it, daud quickly, swiftly and brutally letting them know its his rules
he is Brutal to quickly teach them that no you cant fuck with him. “Uhh I think the fuck not you trick ass bitch”
He'd get creative. hed probably teae down what they hold dear. Maim them, keep them locked up in atrocious pain for days, steal everything that isn't nailed down and burn the rest to the ground. He'd be the definition of disproportionate retribution. Daud burns one of the noble’s house down,,,,
i think daud accepts that in some caes theyll refuse to pay him so he steals as much as he can and destroys the rest, so they have no home, no livelihood, nothing but ashes and dirt
hed do lots of different things too to each one who crosses him,, unpredictable ans chaotic. "ha he wont be able to do x to me like he did to other noble!!" daud: *does something conpletely different, takes a different approach*. tehy cant prepare, they cant increase guards etc bc they dont know what daud will do, when or how
He’s also quick to teach people that trying to fuck him is NOT a payment method
Sometimes he doesn’t even bother to go himself, he just sends a couple of whalers and boom it’s done. It's nearly a good new when someone skips on payment because they can really let lose. that whmould be a power move, not even doing it himself bc he doesnt view the noble as worth his time. Theyd be pissed, that they, a noble, wasnt worth the time of the knife
that note from daud to hiram about extra money bc corvo was there. like A imaginre daud destroying hiram for some cash cash dolla or sending the whalers to do it.
he’d go by himself that time. He wants to see H*ram piss his pants in terror. he defo wants 2 fuck hiram the fuck up. Daud says he personally want to shove a pointy metal object in Hiram's eye. He'd do the deed himself. shoving a pointy object between his eyes isn’t good enough, he’d slowly tear open his guts

Noble: Maybe we can think of an alternative payment-
Daud: I accept cash, cash and cash.
Rinaldo: Heard that the Alderdice Manor burnt last night. And that all their factories blew up in the morning. And that the owner was found as good as dead hanging by his foot on Kaldwin's bridge. I wonder what happened.
Daud, knuckles bruised and hair slightly singed: I have no idea.
daud: im not gonna kill again, im done with murder
daud: *sees hiram *
