Pokerface is not a recent face in the St. Canardian crime scene, but it is one with only recent recognition value. Pokerface is one of the few among many lowtime crooks roaming the streets of the city who managed to raise himself to higher ground. He has specialized himself in gambling and gambling-related crimes, in particular if playing cards are involved. He's the owner of One Chump Plaza Casino, a casino that enjoys decent popularity among the population of St. Canard, and the boss of the Suits. Next to wagering, Pokerface's favorite activity is talking about himself and his successes as of late.

Fiction[]
Disney Adventures comics[]
Pokerface has the city controller of St. Canard murdered to get his hands on the maps to the city's water supply system. He means to poison the water supply to One Chump Plaza Casino with gambleholic toxin so that his patrons will wager their entire fortune away. A mistake in the plan is that a business card is accidentally left behind at the crime scene, putting Darkwing Duck on his trail. When the crimefighter crashes his office, he sics the Suits on him and Launchpad McQuack. With the two bound, Pokerface is eager to share his master plan, but Darkwing wants to hear nothing of it, having grown weary from all the villains he's met that want to talk about themselves. Not one to be denied his boasting, Pokerface puts the two heroes on a conveyors belt for cutting playing cards and tells them about his scheme while they are on their way to their doom. After his exposition, he leaves with the Suits to the water tower he needs to be at, but his monologuing gives Darkwing and Launchpad, who have escaped the death trap, time to catch up. He sics the Suits on them once more, but Darkwing defeats them one by one. Due to having fallen victim to the gambleholic toxin himself, Darkwing never gets around to defeating Pokerface. Instead, they end up playing poker for their costumes, with Pokerface winning each round until the cops come take him away. "Feeling Flushed"
