Biography
Dennis Manning, being bored, decided to create a nightly game of cards where the person who the drew the Ace of Spades would be killed by the one who drew the Ace of Clubs, with the survivor keeping all the money of the deceased. Manning, however, was a car sharp and could give the Ace of Spades to anyone he desired. The first victim was a man in green, who was killed by the woman in red. The next time, one of the people asked to deal instead of Manning. Manning slipped him the Ace of Spades, then revealed his secret to him in a secluded room before stabbing and killing him. The game continued the following nights with the deaths of a bearded man and a man in red. Soon, only the woman in red and Manning were left. The woman revealed that she also is a card sharp and offered to share the money with him. Manning refused and snapped her neck.



Death
After taking all the money, Manning arrived at his house, where the ghosts of his murder victims were waiting for him. The ghosts dealt him the Ace of Spades before killing him off-screen.
