Dave

Dave is the main protagonist and the default character in the mobile game Despicable Me: Minion Rush. He is overly rambunctious, though unlike the other minions, he walked in later in the intro video and only started getting excited when Gru talked through the loudspeaker, through which he asked Dave to settle down. A nearby minion Jerry then punches him.

Gru announces the Minion of the week to be Paul. Gru then presents the Minion of the Year trophy, which many minions start to fight for. While the other minions squabble amongst themselves, Dave goes away and starts the Minion Rush game for the player. In the game, almost every costume is created for Dave.
