Biography[]
Duke is an internet famous men's rights Twitch streamer who often releases live videos with his girlfriend, Whiskey. He lives with his mom, Ma Cody. Originally an unsuccessful video-gamer, Duke became part of Andi Brand's group, the Disruptors, before Miles Bron joined, and set up a social media platform for him. Duke receives an invite to go to Miles' private island and accepts. Once on the island, he sees his girlfriend in bed with Miles, but he doesn't say anything about it. It's later revealed that Duke asked Whiskey to seduce Miles to help him expand his career even more.
Suddenly one night, Duke collapses and dies. It was revealed that he was drinking from Miles' glass. After the group discovers Duke's pistol is missing, the power goes out, and everyone splits up in chaos. It's eventually revealed that Miles poisoned Duke trying to frame someone else.
Characteristics[]
Personality[]
Duke has a nice personality, but he can be egotistical especially when it comes to his public image. He is prone to flexing his muscles, and carries a pistol on himself at all times, even in the swimming pool, which he pointlessly fires on a regular basis to get attention. He treats his girlfriend Whiskey, who is mainly using him to get ahead in her career, as arm-candy, and even pressures her to seduce Miles to promote his own media presence.
It could be argued that Duke is the most disloyal of the Disruptors, as when Helen (disguised as Andi) confronts the group over their betrayal of her, Duke openly admits that they betrayed Andi to hold onto their own careers showing no remorse, and faults Andi for not having what it took to come out on top. Not long after, when he receives the news that Andi is dead, and correctly deduces that Miles killed her, he shows no sign of anger or surprise, and his first act is to use the knowledge to blackmail Miles into getting him a news platform.
In spite of his frequent speechmaking on men's rights and male superiority, Duke is constantly dominated by his more intelligent mother, who solves the puzzle box effortlessly while Duke struggles with it, and who causes him to back down in shame at the slightest reprimand from her.
