David Raion Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed al-Osman bin Sathrati of Waffel-Paine (born in Lindström, 1657; presently aged 81) is the oldest child of Prince Zahir al Din and his wife Li Naomiai. He is a cousin of Kaiser Ayreon IV and a grandchild of Kaiseress Noor and Emperor Nathaniel. In 1664 AN rumours started to spread that David was chosen by the majority of the royalist movement in Batavia to become King of the Batavians. Joseph Bartholomeus des Vinandy-Windsor, Duke of Davignon and another potential claimant of the Throne, acted as his biggest proponent and advocated in the Lagerhuis and among his fellow peers that the young prince would "unite the masses, improve ties with Shireroth thanks to his bloodline and could marry into the Jingdaoese Heavenly Household to avoid their displeasure". The Batavian Ultraroyalists named him Arkadius IV. After the establishment of a Batavian monarchy in 1669, David acquiesced to the new king Arkadius IV (who is, obviously not, David).

Although he continued to officially reside in Kasteel Vinandy until 1678, he spent most his time in Elwynn and Natopia where his parents and sister live. However, in 1678, after Batavia repudiated its treaty with Natopia, David departed Batavia for self-imposed exile, promising only ever to return when the circumstances were conducive for the restoration of constitutional monarchy and the ending of what he termed the present "Vinandist tyranny". Since then, he divides his time between Triegón, Lindström, Shirekeep and Eliria.

On 1.I.1682, Kaiseress Salome announced his engagement with Princess Mariette of San Martín. They married on 9.VI.1682 in Shirekeep, with a ceremony of blessing later planned in Triegón. Their son, Utas Enrique Naian Ayreon-Kalirion de Waffel-Paine y Carrillo, was born in Shirekeep on 9.II.1683.

Among the Ultraroyalists, David still enjoys the support of a large group of nobles, despite the ascension of Salome to the Throne as Staatshouder (regent).
