Commander Davidson is a minor character in the first season of the TV Series. He serves as a Commander in Gilead and is a frequent visitor to Jezebel's. Commander Waterford describes him as a "kiss-ass" who "goes where the wind blows"[1] by keeping close with men who are higher ranked, such as Waterford and Commander Pryce.

Story[]

Season One[]

"Jezebels"[]

Davidson is seen at Jezebel's when he makes an advance towards June Osborne, who has been sneaked into the brothel and whom Davidson presumes is a new prostitute. He remarks that he has not seen her there before, suggesting he is a frequent visitor. Waterford then tells Davidson that June is with him, and Davidson promptly leaves while congratulating Waterford on his recent work with a Mexican delegation.

Season Two[]

Davidson's status following the attack on the new Rachel and Leah Center is unknown, although it is possible he was one of the twenty-six Commanders killed.[2]
