"Dave" Katz was a soldier who later became a love of Klaus Hargreeves after the latter time traveled and landed in the A Shau Valley in 1968 in the middle of the Vietnam War, where Dave happened to be fighting.

Biography

Dave’s father had previously fought in World War II and his grandfather had fought in World War I. He had lived with his uncle, Brian Katz in Dallas. He had enlisted to fight in Vietnam by his uncle’s request after he heard of JFK’s assassination.

The first appearance of Dave is after Klaus first travels to 1968, Vietnam. He’s shown in his bed, confused and intrigued by Klaus’ sudden appearance.

Dave later fell in love with Klaus, and it seems they both confess in a nightclub. The time period that they had known each other for that point is unknown.

After Dave’s death, Klaus was able to manifest him as a ghost, but this moment was erased from time when Five traveled back in order to escape the Commission and solve the apocalypse.

As shown on his dog tags, Dave's surname is Katz, and he is of the Jewish faith.
