### Debut

The Earl's Crime

**William James Moriarty** is the main protagonist from the manga and anime *Moriarty the Patriot*.

## Background

His real name is unknown, having assumed the name of his deceased adoptive brother at a young age. His arch nemesis is Sherlock Holmes and he's a professor for mathematics, as well as a crime consultant.

## Appearance

William is a pale, lean young man with blonde, stringy hair that is medium in length with long side bangs and a prolonged side fringe. One of his most striking features are his scarlet eyes. He has a handsome appearance and has been told he looks better when he smiles.
For clothing, he wore a brown three-piece suit with a red tie and a golden pocket watch. In some scenes he was seen wearing a top hat and holding a cane. The cane would also frequently function as his weapon since it could be unsheathed and act as a sword.

## Personality

William is a kind and courteous, but also highly intelligent and incredibly knowledgeable man.

As an adult, he grew up to be an elegant gentleman, a head-to-toe perfect noble. He is charismatic and eloquent, easily earning the respect of most. Due to his intelligence, he has an easy time seeing through lies, understanding others and also planning crimes. William is well-versed on how to organize and execute flawless operations, known to leave behind no tracks and manipulate other parties to do what he needs.

Despite him carrying out murder frequently, William is an incredibly kind, compassionate and gentle person. He is friendly to everyone around him and cannot ignore those in need, willing to help anyone even if they don't utter a direct request. Since young he was determined to create a better world, wishing for more justice and equality. Knowing how much it takes to execute such a plan, William was selfless enough to pay with his death as the final step.

## Disability

Following the fall, his left eye is scarred and permanently blinded, seemingly having lost some of its colour as well. Because of this, he wears a black eyepatch.
