Eliot Moriarty

**Eliot Moriarty** (エリオット・モリアーティ, *Eriotto Moriāti*) is the father of Ron Kamonohashi, husband of Romi Holmes, and an eight-generation descendant of Professor James Moriarty.

## Physical appearance

Eliot has fair hair and a crescent moon birthmark on his cheek. He greatly resembles his son: They have the same height, build, and the same blue eyes.

## Personality and traits

Eliot is a compassionate person who dislikes seeing people suffer and hurting others.

Like his son, Eliot likes to douse his food in something sweet, though he prefers maple syrup over brown sugar syrup.

## History

Because Eliot was born into the M. Family, he grew up believing that he had to dedicate his life to crime even if it pained him to see people suffer. His outlook changed when he met his future wife, Romi Holmes.

Ron Kamonohashi always believed that Eliot died of an illness before his birth. However, Eliot was still alive and involved in his son's life and taught him the ways of the M. Family until Ron was six years old so that Ron would have the strength to live the life he wants. This entailed lessons in, i.a., lockpicking, the handling of weaponry, and murder.

### Jim Gore Murder Case

17 years ago, Eliot was ordered by the M. Family to kidnap Jim Gore. To execute his plan, he got in touch with various people online without informing the M. Family: Tiger Dan, Mia Costa's mother, Tom Sasaoka, Bill Clark, Lenny Gardner, and Karen Lily.

He met them all separately in London and treated them to the exact same meal. During their meetings, Eliot requested a job from each of them and paid them with an emerald. They all complied, and everything went as planned: Dan approached Gore at a conference and led him outside where they ran into Mia's pregnant mother who looked in bad shape. Gore helped Mia's mother and accompanied her to a hospital. Sasaoka drove them there. At the hospital, Clark examined Mia's mother and gave Gore anesthesia and placed him in a flowerbed. There, Eliot swapped Gore with a dummy corpse from the hospital's morgue. Gardner then picked up the dummy corpse, loaded him in a truck, and drove him to a warehouse which was unlocked by Lily. Eliot pretended to have killed Gore in the warehouse and dumped his body in the Thames.

A few days later, the dummy corpse was found floating in the river in a sorry state. The real Gore escaped and went on to live under a false name in Switzerland.

Because Eliot failed the M. Family by "killing" Gore, two henchmen shot him to death.

## Relationships

Emmerich is an old friend of Eliot and his wife's.
