Complications:
Greedy - Alex is motivated by a love of money.
Rightful Owner - The organization/company that sponsored building the Lucky Suit wants it back.
Addictive Personality - Alex doesn't know when a good thing is enough. He tends to overindulge on the guilty pleasures.
Loyalty - Prolonged exposure to Scarlett Hart has made him a willing thrall, but he still objects to being the Jack of Hearts instead of the Ace.
Rivalry - Alex is determined to make Jack of Diamonds' luck run out.
Arrest Warrant - Jack of Hearts is wanted by local and federal law enforcement agencies in America.

Known Background: Alex Roscommon was a decent poker player who was trying desperately to turn it into a profession. He had good days and bad days and occasionally lucky days. Then came the fateful day at the Olympic Mahns where, after falling behind to the house, he was approached by a man who said he would pay off Alex's gambling debt if he agreed to test an experimental gambling system. Not seeing where he had anything to loose, Alex agreed. The suit worked wonders, allowing him to not only see the averages of any given situation, but also increased his own natural luck to exponential proportions. Once the testing period was over, however, Alex decided that the suit was too valuable to give up and instead escaped with it. He hasn't returned to Vegas since, instead relocating to Atlantic City. It was there that he met Scarlett Hart and was drawn into the Wild Hearts with promises of fame, fortune and notoriety. He joined the Harts, but lost the right to use the name Ace of Hearts to Redmond, who beat him in a game of Hearts.

Appearance: The Lucky Suit looks like a dark red uniform from a Sci-Fi movie. It has nine diamonds, in a heart pattern (changed from a diamond pattern after he changed card suits), on the left side of the chest. He usually uses the suit's illusion feature to change his appearance any time he uses it at the tables so as to not leave a recognizable description, thus enabling him to return to those establishments. Alex has red hair and a tattoo on his left shoulder of the six of hearts.

Ace of Diamonds was created, designed and played by Allan. He had been adapted into Jack of Hearts by Jim Caswell.
