## History

Dealer first appeared in arc 2, while Ethan and Duke were exploring an abandoned store in rp\_downtown. The drug lab where he and Pissmedic made their supply was located down the hall from the storefront. Concerned that the two might be undercover cops, and then wanting to turn Duke over to BLU for the reward money, Dealer sprang to attack Duke and Ethan. He set fire to the storefront, forcing the scouts to flee outside where Pissmedic was waiting. The medic threatened to kill Ethan if Duke did not surrender. Duke gave himself up, and Dealer and Pissmedic took him to ctf\_discover to hand him over.

However, at the BLU base, Duke broke free and stole their van to drive home. In the process of doing so, he accidentally freed Christian Brutal Sniper. The Freak proceeded to kill the BLU team and Pissmedic. Dealer only narrowly escaped.

He reappeared in arc 4. At the beginning of that storyline, he noticed Duke and Ethan at a cafe while driving with Hot Cakes. The sight of them enraged him, so he came up with a plan to get his revenge. While resting outside the rp\_downtown police station with Hot Cakes one evening, he noticed Ethan running out of the building. Assuming that if Ethan is in one place, Duke can't be far behind, he moved to intercept Duke as he escaped from the police. He held a chloroform-soaked rag to Duke's face, causing him to pass out.

On the way to the desert house, Dealer monologued about the trouble that Duke had caused him, and he sold Duke to Cleff for a large amount of money. He was smug about getting his revenge until Hot Cakes became suspicious. Confronted by her, Dealer admitted to his crime, causing an infuriated Hot Cakes to scream at him, terminate their relationship, and leave his house. He sat alone in the apartment after that, despondent and guilty about what he did.

Dealer reappeared during the epilogue of arc 4, where it is shown that he was caught manufacturing and distributing drugs. Booked at the city jail, he used his phone call to ask Hot Cakes to pay his bail. She refused, telling him that she wanted him out of her life. Dealer was last seen being escorted to a cell.
