While Daud is one of my favorite characters, to be honest I hope he STAYS in the shadows in D2. I know it's canon that Corvo spares him, but it's not like they'd exactly be on jolly terms... I think it's crazy that people are saying it's a possibility that Daud would show up and help Corvo/Emily on a mission. Yeah, no. Mercy doesn't really extend to actually wanting to work with the guy who killed your lover/mother.

I think it's more a matter of people liking Daud and not liking Billie, unfortunately, though it would make more sense story-wise if Billie shows up rather than Daud.

Not that I expect a lot of characters to return, and that's alright too! I'm hoping for another eclectic cast of side characters like in the first game.

And anyone who thinks that old women can't be capable pirate captains needs to read this.
