Background
Duke McGahan is the tenant David Hoover has been looking for throughout the whole game. He committed suicide years ago and is the true identity of The Crooked Man.
Sissi, D, and Fluffy are fragments of his troubled past. As the Crooked Man, he generally goes after David Hoover, but if Sissi, D, or Fluffy are around, he prefers going after them and trying to kill them, much to David's confusion. After it is revealed that the three of them are facets of Duke, it makes perfect sense. Sissi has regrets over lost love, D has regrets over failed dreams, and Fluffy has been abandoned by his mother. These are all the aspects of Duke (and David, as they were both so similar) that ultimately led to his eventual suicide.
Sissi, D, and Fluffy are facets of his own past life, so their backgrounds told during the course of the story were actually his.
When he was young, he was "abandoned" by his mother. The facts about it are ambiguous, but she apparently died in a hospital when Duke was a kid, leaving him with bitterness and feelings of abandonment. Years later, he decided to become a lawyer, but no matter how much he tried, he never passed the final exam. The last straw for him was that his beloved girlfriend, whom he loved very much to the point of making her gifts and taking her to their "special place" in a hotel, eventually abandoned him. This left him very depressed.
Unable to take it any longer, he left the apartment he lived in and went to his mother’s abandoned house, where he committed suicide by hanging himself. He became a vengeful spirit some time after that.
