Mandragora has a grudge towards Stanley Dover (John Lithgow), a serial killer who slaughtered his family believing that they were pure evil and started to become a serial killer known as the Starling City Slayer, where he believed that he has absorbed their life force at his demise. Dover focused his attention on his brother's son Henry Dover who was also an up and coming politician running for president. He turned up when Henry was at an election rally and killed Henry's wife in cold blood with a gun, shooting everyone else in the frenzy and attempting to kill Henry before he was subdued by the FBI. Dover has been insulting Steven Mandragora's albinism which led to the two men to constantly be at each other's throats prompting Mandragora to start digging a tunnel in the wall which separates his and Stanley's cells. Whale finishes his tunnel and, with a punch, brought on by another one of Stanley's insults towards his albinism, breaks the wall and starts strangling Stanley, who dies before guard Delmore Greenhorn could do anything after being alerted by Oliver, who is trying to get his sentence reduced.
