César Faison's 2012–2013 return to General Hospital was his most personal and elaborate scheme yet — not a diamond heist or a political conspiracy, but a sustained act of identity theft driven entirely by obsession. Wearing the face of Duke Lavery and the trust of Anna Devane, Faison came closer than ever to getting exactly what he wanted. Meanwhile, Robin Scorpio Drake wasn't dead. She was just waiting to come home.

César Faison returned to General Hospital in 1999 under an alias, secretly manipulating events from behind the scenes. While conducting diamond deals with Luke Spencer, he revealed himself as the architect of Lucky Spencer’s staged death, holding him captive and controlling lives through fear and deception. His explosive disappearance left Port Charles questioning what was real — and whether Faison was truly gone.
