White then met with the Asylum administrator who stated that as Dr. Carver had been replaced by Jane Doe it meant her evaluations had been stricken from the record. As such, it was held that Warren's transfer was to be denied and he was forced to remain in Arkham. In the aftermath, he was in the dinner hall when some of his food was taken by the Ventriloquist for Scarface. He was then approached by former doctor Jonathan Crane who decided to use Warren as a case study in his fear experiments leading him to stabbing White's hand with a fork. Afterwards, he came to find himself in the company of Two-Face where he served as his 'coin boy' in exchange for his protection. This was until one day when Two-Face decided to only offer half his protection where he looked to toss a coin to decide whether to remove it entirely. It was at that point that Humpty Dumpty intervened where he decided to look after Warren. (Arkham Asylum: Living Hell v1 #2)
