Alice Through the Looking Glass[]

Stayne's corpse is seen chained to a throne in the Red Queen's makeshift castle, with a blade embedded in his chest implying he got his wish of death. Later, his head falls off. Time was sitting on a chair next to him and saw his skeleton, with a blade embedded in his chest, and wondered what happened to him, either the Queen killed him for trying to kill her or she hired one of her men to kill him for the very same reason.

Trivia[]

This version of the Knave of Hearts shares characteristics of the Red Knight from Lewis Carroll's books.
- In the original Alice books, just as the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen were separate characters, the Knave of Hearts and the Red Knight were separate characters as well, the Knave from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Red Knight from Through the Looking-Glass. And where the Knave was a living playing card, the Red Knight was a living chess piece.
