## Biography

### History

Growing up, Mylo was regarded as the "heaven-sent Moriarty heir."

Once, when they were children, his younger siblings Alice and Winter baked him some cookies. However, while Winter's were perfect, Alice's were burned. Disgusted, Mylo threw Alice's cookies to the ground and stamped on them before he told her that he does not need failures. She then succumbed to a coughing fit, and Winter consoled her.

Years later, when he was 17, Mylo shot Alice. Although he had to do it to become the new head of the M. Family, Mylo hugged her afterward and tearfully apologized for his actions. Unbeknownst to him, Alice had tampered with his gun and was alive all along.

### Island Observatory Murder Case

After the Island Observatory Murder Case, Winter Moriarty calls Mylo who is in the M. Family's headquarters in England. They discuss Ron Kamonohashi and how he, as a descendant of both James Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes, is not like them. Mylo says that Ron will eventually come to like his Moriarty blood.

### Yadagami-sama Murders Case

At the headquarters, one of his brothersTeo informs Mylo that Chris wants to leave the M. Family because he has a family now. Mylo immediately orders the death of Chris and his child to ensure that no one avenges Chris in 15 years.

Then, Winter asks why an organization as thorough as the M. Family allows a mix like Ron to keep living. Mylo replies that Ron is their brother as they share the same blood, but Winter reminds him that blood ties did not stop him from killing Alice. Mylo adds that he meant only the superior siblings shall remain and that he has not yet determined whether Ron is valuable or not.

To determine his value, Mylo wants to give Ron despair and sends Winter to Japan to give Ron a taste of the M. Family's terror.

### Shibuya Revelation Serial Murders Case

While they are testing Ron, Winter calls Mylo to give him an update: They disposed of two hackers so far and will now eliminate the third one; Ron is not suspecting anything. Without replying, Mylo ends the call and says that Winter should not underestimate Ron.

Later, when Winter has lost against Ron and is trying to escape, Mylo speaks to them via his spy earpiece. He tells Winter that they will not get a second chance and that the Moriarty family does not permit failure. He remarks that he had high hopes for them right before he orders Winter to be shot.

Winter's body is recovered and replaced by a substitute. Afterward, Mylo is told that the hacker disposal in Japan has been cleared and none of their information was leaked. Winter also survived but is in critical condition and fighting for their life. Hearing this, Mylo orders the disposal of the assassin who wounded Winter.

### Plateau Auberge Serial Murders Case

While reading an article on the murder of Jim Gore, Mylo "warns" Ron that "dinner is just getting started."

Via the teddy bear in the auberge's dining hall, Mylo later watches Ron and Totomaru Isshiki confronting Tiger Dan and exposing him as the culprit. When Dan says he intends to kill everyone so that Mylo does not find out he disclosed information about Eliot Moriarty, Mylo reveals himself and speaks through the teddy, introducing himself to Ron. Ron then orders Karen Lily, Mia Costa, and Shusuke Sakai to cover their ears so that they do not hear more about the M. Family and tells Mylo to let them go as he has that authority.

Mylo praises Ron for having deduced his position so quickly. However, he still has to eliminate Lily, Sakai, and Mia as this is the M. Family's etiquette. This enrages Totomaru and when he tells Mylo that he should not underestimate the Japanese police, Mylo replies that he is only still alive because he allows it.

Then, Ron's body starts to fail him; he starts to shake and sweat and sinks to his knees. Mylo concludes that this must be a side effect of the medication Ron is taking to counter Kill on Sight: The medication redirects Ron's murderous intent to his innards, and he will eventually succumb to the side effect if he keeps taking it. Furthermore, because Ron resisted Dan's poor attempt to convert him, Mylo gives him a reward: The person who modified his body is an M. Family member—and a spy at BLUE.

Afterward, Mylo sets off the incendiary bomb planted in the Auberge Reunion for the main dish: three types of roast game. The building quickly catches fire, and Dan picks up Mylo's teddy bear and escapes.

### Obon Dance Murder and Invitation From Mylo Case

Dan enters Mylo's office and informs him that they received a report regarding Ron: The M. Family informant at BLUE has made contact with Ron. Hearing this pleases Mylo as "the time is just about right." Dan then asks if Mylo is really proceeding with this, and Mylo affirms. Either Ron proves useful to the M. Family or he is eliminated and becomes part of the gallery wall of failures.

Not long afterward, Winter wakes up from their coma. By the time, Mylo and Dan arrive in their room, Winter is already gone, having escaped to Japan after stealing Alice's picture from the gallery.

Mylo then sends Ron an invitation to a cruise and challenges him to identify the M. Family spy there.

### Tragic Cruise Serial Murders Case

After the first murder, Mylo calls Ron when he and Toto return to their room. He tells them that the M. Family informant committed the murder and that they will kill someone every day until Ron figures out their identity and shoots them. For that, Mylo left Ron a gun in his drawer as a gift.

The spy later phones Mylo to inform him about their second murder. The next day, Mylo flies to the cruise.

Meanwhile, the informant kidnaps Toto and brings the unconscious Ron and the suspects to the Precious Hall where a magic show is held. When Ron wakes up and rushes to stop the stage magician from using the gun Mylo left in his room, Mylo's mechanic teddy is lowered down on a rope. Mylo promises Ron that the passengers will be safe if he determines and shoots the spy.

Ron steps forward and says that only Fin Fennec could be the culprit: As a locked room expert, she could calculate the ship's swaying to ensure the rubber plugs would jam the door. She also declined the wine and would benefit from using a voice changer and making others believe someone with a "male" voice was calling. Ron, therefore, points the gun at Fin but it is only a ruse to force Shachi into exposing himself. Ron figured out that Shachi must be the spy, i.a., because everything the culprit did turned suspicions away from Fin: The trick with the plugs relied too much on chance and the voice changer made everyone suspect a man, not a woman. Furthermore, Shachi drank so much of the wine to double-check it for poison. And when Shachi said the people in room 301 scolded him, Ron knew for certain that he was the informant: He and Totomaru had secretly changed rooms and were now staying in 301.

Ron also solved the Bloody Field Trip Case: Shachi drugged him and then changed the date on his phone. When Ron woke up, he believed three days had passed, not two, and headed to the factory where he lost consciousness. An imposter filled in Ron's place on the actual day of the exercise and treated Elmer when he got injured; some of Elmer's blood landed on his vest. The imposter then went to the hideout, killed the criminals, and dressed Ron in his bloodstained uniform before he stabbed himself and handed Ron the knife with his last strength.

Shachi confesses to his crimes and takes out a gun. He forces the audience to stay seated and reveals that the doors are locked and cannot be forcibly opened without killing everyone in the Precious Hall. In ten minutes, a device will release nerve gas; Mylo informs Ron that only if he shoots the lock of the only door without a motion sensor, everyone will be able to escape. However, Totomaru sits on the other side of the door, tied up and wearing noise-cancelling headphones: Ron cannot alert him and he can only save the passengers if he kills his partner.

Ron attempts to persuade Mylo to stop this; there is no reason for Mylo to punish Ron just because he hates his ancestor Sherlock Holmes after all. Mylo replies that he is not making Ron kill Toto because he is a Holmes but because he is a Moriarty: It is a trial he should have undergone years ago.

Elmer Stingray then wakes up prematurely because he hid smelling salts in his clothes and offers Ron his gun. Ron's gun only has one bullet, and he can, thus, not simply shoot off the door's hinges instead of the lock. When Elmer reaches into his pocket and raises his hand, Shachi impulsively shoots Elmer's hand. Elmer does not have a gun though; it was a feint that made Shachi shoot the door. When Ron sees the hole in the door, he formulates a plan and picks up a stool from the stage. He raises it upside down over his head but does not throw it. After his attempt to appeal to Shachi by telling him that he is disappointing Fin fails, Ron sets the stool down and shoots the door's lock.

Mylo is satisfied because Ron has now proven that he is truly a Moriarty and betrayed someone who trusted him. To everyone's surprise, Toto is not dead though: Ron used the principle behind pinhole cameras, and when he lifted the stool, he held it in a way that projected it through the hole to the wall on the other side of the door. The image of the stool reminded Toto of a shrine and his and Ron's first encounter when Ron deduced that Toto walked alongside the trees by the Wakana Shrine. Toto understood the message and leaned to the side, and when Ron shot the lock, the bullet only grazed Toto and did not pierce his heart.

Ron taunts Mylo, telling him that he can "move forward without killing anyone." While they stare at each other and do not pay attention to anything else, Shachi grabs Fin and runs out of the hall. The passengers follow suit. Ron and Toto pursue Shachi, and Elmer stays behind and brings the still-unconscious Hirsch to safety.

Ron and Totomaru chase Shachi to the deck where Mylo already waits for them. He shoots Shachi in the shoulder and announces that the ship is now under his control. Shachi swears to Mylo that he will not fail him again, and Ron points out that Shachi did everything right but Ron still managed to solve everything. He has also deduced that Shachi is only working for Mylo because the M. Family took Fin hostage multiple times in the past. Fin then wakes up, and Shachi admits everything to her. However, before he can reveal what was done to Ron's brain, Mylo shoots Shachi in the heart. Toto curses at Mylo for that—a circumstance Mylo finds amusing because Toto was meant to be shot in the heart after all.

Because Ron last took his medication too long ago and its effect has already worn off, Mylo's action triggers Kill on Sight; Mylo finds it rather interesting that Ron plans to kill him. Ron tries to persuade Mylo to shoot himself in the temple, but Mylo fires at Toto instead. As Kill on Sight is a kind of "hypnosis," you can shield yourself by filtering Ron's voice with a sound alteration device, and Mylo wears such a device in his ears. Ron hurries to Toto, and the sight of Ron's dismay amuses Mylo.

Mylo sends his bodyguards away and throws a knife to Ron. He did not kill Toto as he still wants Ron to do it; as a "reward," Mylo will give Ron a flash drive containing all the information on what was done to his body five years ago. However, to Mylo's horror, Ron is so terribly angry that Toto got hurt that the voice alteration does not work against Kill on Sight anymore. Ron compels Mylo to throw his gun into the ocean, and Mylo cannot resist and complies. He then hands him the knife and orders him to stab himself. With all his strength, Mylo manages to pull the knife down from his throat to his chest, and when he stabs himself, he is unhurt because of the bulletproof vest his younger brother made him wear. Ron simply orders Mylo to aim at his throat, but Toto can get through to Ron and stop him.

Ron breaks free of his trance. However, Mylo is willing to die if he can make Ron break the "detective's taboo" of never killing anyone and keeps taunting him. He even produces a second gun from his sleeve and shoots Fin. Ron struggles to suppress Kill on Sight and can only think of one way to stop himself: To everyone's shock, Ron stabs his vocal cords and collapses. Mylo admits defeat and casts the flash drive to Totomaru before he throws himself into the ocean. While he falls, Mylo thinks of Alice.

Mylo's subordinates search for him afterward but cannot find him. Two days later, Mylo wakes up on a beach and is discovered by a child. To Mylo's misfortune, the help the child calls are members of the M. Family who have sided with the new boss. Mylo is then strangulated while the new boss watches, smiling.

### Cryptid Serial Murders Case

Mylo survives the strangulation, and the new boss, Alice Moriarty, proceeds to lock him in her basement. Six months later, Alice brings him burned cookies and reveals that she always purposefully burned her cookies. When she was two, she decided to deceive everyone and pretended being a "foolish girl" for years. And when Mylo cried over her "corpse," Alice became set on taking over the M. Family upon turning 17.

Hearing this, Mylo asks her what she wants to do with the M. Family now, but Alice does not disclose her plans to him. Instead, she begins talking about Ron who she does not believe to be a threat. Mylo warns her not to underestimate him, and Alice is amused by his "sister complex" and shoves some cookies into his mouth, calling him a failure. She adds that she had great fun "playing" with Ron and hopes to do so again.

## Relationships

### Winter Moriarty

Mylo angered Winter when he killed their sister Alice; their relationship has been strained since. Mylo does not seem to have any qualms to dispose of Winter as well.

### Alice Moriarty

Mylo regarded his younger sister as a failure. When he had to murder Alice to become the M. Family boss, it was, thus, believed that Mylo enjoyed getting rid of a "clumsy nuisance who was unsuitable to the Moriarty family." In reality, Alice's death devastated him and haunted him ever since. During the Tragic Cruise Serial Murders Case, Mylo forces people to kill those they have dear for that reason, and when he falls into the ocean, his last thought is of Alice.
