**Albert James Moriarty** is a major character in the 2016 manga series, *Moriarty the Patriot*, and it's 2020 anime adaptation. The oldest son of Earl Moriarty, Albert always had a desire for perfection and was disgusted by the corruption of the world around him and the inequality faced. Upon inspiration on hearing the speech of a young intelligent boy to cleanse society of evil aristrocrats, Albert adopts said boy to be his adoptive brother William James Moriarty, and does the same for William's biological brother Louis. Upon covertly murdering the rest of the Moriarty family, Albert uses his authority as Count push William's agenda for an equal Britain. He is based on the famous archenemy of Sherlock Holmes, James Moriarty, which in-universe is the collective identity Albert and his 2 brothers form to be the Lord of Crime.

He is voiced by Takuya Sato in Japanese, and by Chris Guerrero in the English dub.

* Disgusted by the inequality of the world and how everyone sees people only for their status than themselves, Albert is an undyingly loyal enforcer to William's vision for equality through crime, using his authority as a nobleman to give William the opportunities to make his vision a reality.

* Is great academically, able to graduate university as a King's Scholar.
* Is the social face of the Moriarty's criminal empire, always there to use his natural charisma to charm people of interest to align themselves to the organizations' beliefs.
* Collaborating with William to fake his kidnapping, Albert has his troops stationed nearby to topple a powerful opium ring.
* Manipulates Mycroft Holmes into creating the secret organization MI6, using its unaligned and secretive nature to amass intel for William's plans without any suspicion.
* Upon being informed that Irene Adler stole some government documents and was requested to terminate her, Albert catches onto the potential of the documents and brings it up to William on them being useful bargaining chips against the government.
* Covertly places an invite to Irene Adler for a masquerade party he organized, setting up the steps to ensure they both meet in an anonymous place as well as organizing the death of the corrupt Baron Rollinson to display to Irene the power of the Lord of Crime.
* Anticipating Sherlock's arrival, Albert has Irene write his name and seal it onto an envelope to sue as a guarantee to get Sherlock of his trail.
* He and William convinces Mycroft into staying silent and cover up MI6's true activities and have Adler be legally pronounced dead.
* Upon bringing up to William the potential MP Adam Whitely could have, he amasses information enough to blackmail the House of Lords, and covertly hand it over to him to make his bill for equality a reality.
* Upon William's presumed death, Albert willingly surrenders himself to the police and takes responsibility for most of William's crimes.
