## Storylines

* 1990-2000
* 2014
* 2017-18

Cesar Faison first surfaces in Paris, France in 1990 under the alias P.K. Sinclair, an adventure novelist ("The Alpine Express"; "The Crystalline Conspiracy") with a penchant for cigars. In reality, Faison is the former employer of Anna Devane during her days with the World Security Bureau (WSB)'s rival agency, DVX. Also during this time, Faison often makes illicit deals with WSB head, Sean Donely, including one to destroy Anna's marriage to Robert Scorpio.

On November 21, 2014; when Anna Devane is being confronted by Liesl Obrecht and Agent Kyle Sloane regarding the disappearance of Cesar Faison, she revealed that she and Robert Scorpio held Cesar Faison against his will at Spoon Island and that he is very much alive after the deaths of Peter Harrell, Sr. and his son Peter Harrell, Jr. aka Levi Dunkleman as Kyle Sloane is likely friends with head nurse Epiphany Johnson. On November 24, Faison is on the docks smoking.

On Thanksgiving, Faison lurks outside of Wyndemere, watching Nikolas, Britt, Obrecht, and Spencer Cassadine. He is about to open the door when Helena stops him. She tells him to be careful, but Faison tells her to worry about her own affairs and leave him alone. After Helena leaves, Faison enters and Obrecht sees him.

Obrecht is overjoyed to see Faison and they embrace one another. Obrecht sobs about how Anna kept the truth about Faison's disappearance from her, but Faison reassures her that he is fine. Obrecht asks if he finally realizes Anna doesn't love him, and Faison admits he does. He says he hoped Anna could one day love him, but he realizes it will never happen. Faison also tells Obrecht he reciprocates her feelings for him and kisses her just as Britt walks into the room. Faison happily tells his daughter "Happy Thanksgiving", but Britt expresses disdain towards her father and threatens to call the police. Obrecht, in turn, blackmails Britt into keeping quiet about Faison's visit. Faison says he has business to attend to, but promises to return to Obrehct.

Faison, pretending to be the fake Luke Spencer, showed up at Julian Jerome's place and planned to kill him for his betrayal. Anna and Dante show up to arrest Julian and arrested Faison. Anna removed the Luke mask and was stunned to see it was Faison. Faison was brought into the station where Obrecht demanded he be released. Faison was stunned when Obrecht referred to herself as Detective Nathan West's mother and she admitted to Faison that Nathan is her son with another man. As Faison was being transported to Pentonville, the transport was attacked by Helena's men and they brought Faison to Helena, Britt, and Obrecht. Obrecht was supposed to leave with Faison and Britt, but when she heard Nathan had been shot, she decided to stay with him. Faison promised Obrecht he would look after Britt and wait for her before leaving Port Charles with Britt.

In 2015, Brad Cooper mentioned that Faison is on the Top 10 of the FBI's most wanted list and the WSB's most wanted list. It is also revealed that he arranged the visit back to Port Charles and that Britt also calls him "papa" now.

In early 2017, Faison was replaced by his female counterpart Olivia Jerome.

On March 22; Anna contacts Obrecht to get information about Valentin Cassadine but she reveals she knows less than she does, Anna suggested that maybe Faison might know more at the same time Faison's female counterpart Olivia Jerome was sent to a mental asylum by Judge Horace Sanchez after she was found unfit to stand trial. Anna’s desperate, needing confidential information. Obrecht agreed but only if all charges against Faison and Britt were dropped and they were allowed back in Port Charles. Anna thinks there’s more at stake, her family is in danger of Valentin’s actions as well and hopes Faison would help. At the Metro Court, Obrecht makes a call to Faison to ask him for information concerning Valentin.

In January 2018, Faison returns to Port Charles after Janice Lomax's resignation as mayor of Port Charles which left the city unprotected without a mayor and the imprisonment of his henchmen Frank Anderson and Greg Barnes for holding everybody hostage at the Metro Court Hotel in revenge for Faison which left Nathan unharmed as well as Mayor Lomax outraged. Jim Harvey came to Port Charles who tries to follow Janice's idea of the Charles Street redevelopment project prior to Faison returning nearly two weeks later.

One month later after his death along with Nathan's death, the earthquake hits Port Charles caused by Jim Harvey in which Nathan would never survive.

Two years after his death; then came the man from the Pacific Northwest who bores an uncanny resemblance to Faison, Cyrus Renault. After Cyrus' imprisonment because of Peter working with Cyrus came the female serial killer who goes by The Hook wanting revenge for Faison concealing their face and identity. On New Years Eve in 2022, Faison's daughter Britt was attacked and then dead by The Hook where the face and identity revealed as Heather Webber returning the favor to Faison nearly five years later.
