Grifter
Mr. DuBois: Well, naturally, Tyrant's Palace cost an astronomical sum to construct.
Mr. DuBois: The structure itself is mammoth and the interior needed to match the opulence and luxury associated with the Casino's namesake.
Mr. DuBois: With our funding, though, we had the freedom to create a beautiful facility that spoke to the eternal grandeur of the emperor.
Mr. DuBois: Well, because we cater exclusively to the wealthiest of clientele, we occasionally get some truly famous individuals.
Mr. DuBois: Naturally, we cater to these individuals - It truly is the number one location for the Emperor's Praetors.
Mr. DuBois: When they are not maintaining peace through their constant vigilance, the powerful come here to play.
Mr. DuBois: As you well know, we are a world-class hotel and casino, complete with all the ammenities you would expect.
Mr. DuBois: It's not the normal ammenities of Tyrant's Palace that makes it so unique, but rather how we cater to the unique and specifc tastes of our patrons.
Mr. DuBois: Virtually anything is available within the luxurious privacy of the Casino, for a price, of course.

Editor's Note: The correct patron to train is the man in the trench coat, the Disheveled Drifter. |
Training the Disheveled Drifter:
- The Disheveled Drifter: Easy. Hi-Lo strategy. Two through Six, I add one; Seven through Nine, nothing; Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace, I subtract one. I'm going to enjoy this. Rattle through some cards quick!
- The Disheveled Drifter: Minus one, minus one, plus one, plus one, null, plus one. Oh this will be sweet!
- The Disheveled Drifter: I told you I could do this. Anything else I should know?
- The Disheveled Drifter: Time for sweet sweet revenge!
- The Disheveled Drifter: Hey! Look who's back! Scoot over!
- Dealer: The game is Blackjack, gentlemen...
- Dealer: Please place your bets!
- The Disheveled Drifter: In here? Wait until we get out of here - ALL IN!
- Gambler: He's murdering us here!

Editor's Note: Training any of the other patrons will not alert the casino. |
Training the Honest-Looking Professional:
- The Honest-Looking Professional: Alright, I think I get it. Hi-Lo strategy. Two through Six, I add one; Seven through Nine, nothing; Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace, I subtract one. Please provide some numbers for me to remember.
- The Honest-Looking Professional: Minus one, minus one, plus one, plus one, null, plus one. Wait, this seems to have gone past just probability and seems a lot like cheating.
- The Honest-Looking Professional: Well, dubious as it sounds to my ears, I've gone far enough that I might as well try it. Anything else?
- The Honest-Looking Professional: Well, let's take this for a spin and learn how good I am at this!
- The Honest-Looking Professional: Mind another player, gentlemen?
- Dealer: The game is Blackjack, ladies and gentlemen...
- Dealer: Please place your bets!
- The Honest-Looking Professional: 'Little lady', eh? I'm in.
- Gambler: The little lady has cleaned me out! Fold.
- Jimmy Crescendo: Everything on the up and up, over there?
- Dealer: Mr. Crescendo? Yes, everything seems fine.
Training The High Roller:
- The High Roller: Alright, I think I get it. Hi-Lo strategy. Two through Six, I add one; Seven through Nine, nothing; Ten, Jack, Queen, King, Ace, I subtract one. Okay! Throw some numbers at me!
- The High Roller: Minus one, minus one, plus one, plus one, null, plus one. Arg, this is confusing to keep track of. I think I got it though, keep going!
- The High Roller: I've got it! Woa-boy! The house is going DOWN! Before that, you got any more pointers?
- The High Roller: Alright, Senpai! Watch as your Kohai goes all Bushido on this establishment!
- Dealer: The game is Blackjack, gentlemen...
- The High Roller: Wha-uh... I mean, All in. Too.
- The High Roller: Oh! Jimmy! I-uh didn't see you there. I swear, I wasn't counting cards. Not this time at least. Honest! Please don't break my knuckles!
- Jimmy Crescendo: You sure about that son? I think I gave a warning to you last time I saw you in here trying to cheat the house.
- Gambler: All in.
- Dealer: Gentlemen, please place your bets!

Gambler and crooner, Jimmy Crescendo knows Ted Dubois from their days as military special forces. Jimmy's experiences overseas changed him and he's had problems returning to civilian life. Ted Dubois keeps him around the casino for those times when things get a bit dicey, though he's grown increasingly concerned with Jimmy's obsession with demonology and occult. Ironically, Jimmy has the voice of an angel and keeps the ladies coming around on a nightly basis, but his dark temper and complete lack of humanity make him an ideal strong-arm for the casino.
