One very minor thing I noticed; the notion that Daud had very irregular eating habits due to his Whaler lifestyle seems to contradict his pickiness you later set out. While in his later years I can see him indulging in his choice of food, I would think that having to scrounge night and day for meals, at least early on, would have predisposed him to tolerate most anything edible, tinned or fresh, red meat or seafood, so on and so forth. As I personally see it, although this is more my subjective interpretation, he's the sort of person who never takes for granted the luxuries of a calm "retirement". I like the idea that he's never shaken his atypical eating schedule, but I would imagine that goes hand-in-hand with a lack of pickiness. He would relish a meal solely for being fresh and warm, even after several years.

Something I personally think would be a cool, but by no means necessary, addition to the narrative is his keeping of a bunch of old Whaler paraphernalia in that secret room of his. Carefully organized and discreetly stored in a dark corner where it isn't too obtrusive, he nevertheless keeps everything in pristine condition, making a steady routine of polishing the lenses of his gas mask and sharpening the edge of his old blade. Not because he anticipates needing to use them, but merely as a token of remembrance. Nevertheless, every time he comes across an old nick in his blade he recognizes, he hesitates before grinding it down ever further.
