Biography
Top Dollar is an intimidating mobster responsible for the deaths of both Eric Draven and his girlfriend, Shelly Webster. Top Dollar's father was a Vietnam war soldier and he has a half sister named Myca, who later became his lover. He is a high-level criminal with control over the street gangs in the city.

Because of a mysterious crow, Eric soon came back from the grave to avenge his girlfriend's death. Top Dollar was aware of Eric's activities through witness reports. He was holding a discussion of their Devil's Night criminal activities with his associates, when Eric arrives, wanting his henchman Skank for being one of four responsible for Shelly's death. A gun fight ensues and Eric kills Skank along with several of nearly all present, but Top Dollar escapes with Myca and his right-hand man Grange.

Eric is about to return to his grave, having killed all four rapists, but Top Dollar and Grange kidnaps Shelly's friend Sarah, forcing Eric back into action to rescue here. After Grange and Myca's deaths, Eric ends up fighting Top Dollar on the roof of a church. The mob boss claims responsibility for what happened to Eric and Shelly, but before he can kill him again, Eric gives Top Dollar the "30 hours of pain" that he absorbed from police sergeant Albrecht in a telepathic torture. Top Dollar then falls from the roof and lands on the horns of a gargoyle, impaling him.
