Portrayals
In the webisodes and Monster High movie New Ghoul @ School, Deuce's voice is provided by Yuri Lowenthal.

Physical Description
Deuce is tall and muscular, with green eyes that can turn people to stone (at least for a few hours) which is why he wears glasses. His scalp hair is actually scaly and green, and atop his head are a bunch of snakes. He also has green scales on his bicep, though it's unclear if it is part of his skin or an added tattoo.

Classic Monster
Deuce is the son of the Gorgon Medusa, a figure from classic Greek mythology, and most likely influenced by her portrayal in the 1981 film Clash of the Titans .

In the mythological tale, Medusa was transformed into a terrible monster by a jealous Athena due to the fact that she and Poseidon, the god of the seas, snuck into her temple. Her beautiful hair was turned into snakes, and her face became so terrible to behold that the mere sight of it would turn onlookers to stone.

In Clash of the Titans , the warrior Perseus needs to kill the Kraken, so he wants to use Medusa's gaze to turn it to stone. Unfortunately that requires killing her. Perseus travels to the Isle of the Dead and kill her guardian, a two-headed dog (the possible inspiration of Deuce's pet rat). Perseus decapitates Medusa.

The 1981 film is famous because it features the stop-motion animation of master Ray Harryhausen.

Family
Deuce lives with his mother in "a building from one of those pictures at a Greek restaurant. The kind with the big columns and everything."

Friends
Deuce appears to be friends with Heath Burns in New Ghoul at School, and states in his diary that he has an amicable relationship with Clawdeen Wolf's brother Clawd, since they're both on "the team". He makes friends with Jackson Jekyll during a game of pick-up basketball.

Even though Deuce seems to be friends with Heath Burns, he didn't hesistate in turning him into a stone in New Ghoul @ School.

Pet
Deuce's pet is a two-tailed rat named Perseus.

Romance
Deuce is dating Cleo de Nile. Yet, he is able to deal with her demanding attitude

Deuce in the Monster High books
In the Monster High book, Melody kisses Deuce to get back at Cleo for kissing Jackson. This causes a rift in Cleo and Deuce's relationship, but they work through it. When Cleo decides to not go to The Monster Mash, Deuce and Melody go as just friends. When Melody removes Deuce's glasses, he gets angry and leaves the dance.

Deuce's Official Facebook Description
Deuce rocks…literally! He’s 16 and the son of Medusa, so be careful not to look into his eyes. Seriously, that’s why he wears those freaky-fab shades all the time. If you look too long into his eyes – poof – you’re stone. Thank goth it’s not permanent. His green reptilian scales and snake mohawk make all the ghouls in school swoon. He loves rocking out to his fave music - rock and metal, of course - and when he’s not winning battle of the bands or playing casketball, he’s probably chillin’ with this two-tailed pet rat Perseus.

Basic
Deuce wears a red sleeveless shirt with a skull graphic on it, with a gray and white striped vest or a gray hoodie. He has black pants, a black fingerless glove on his left hand, and a black wristband with the Monster High logo on his right wrist. He always wears red sunglasses to prevent turning friends into rocks (don't worry, it's only temporary).
