Doleful is Detective #14 in the Detective's Alliance and is involved in the events that occurred on the island of Morgue.

### Character Blurb

Doleful Detective, rank #14. Doleful is half-British, half-Japanese, and possesses a remarkably negative disposition. Since he was a child, Doleful has always had a remarkable penchant for attracting dangerous phenomenae that pose a threat to his well-being. This peculiar ability of his has been dubbed the 'Danger Magnet,' and is considered by many to be the mark of a great detective. In the past, Doleful had been treated as an angel of death, and as a result, he struggles to interact with others without second-guessing himself. However, though his life in constant danger, he always survives using his peculiar senses, an ability which comes in handy during particularly perilous investigations.

### Appearance

Doleful Detective has grey eyes, although they are also described as "golden" by Incompetent's inner monologue. His white-blonde hair is cut into an angular bob with short front bangs and a pair of side bangs that come down to his chin, with a long rattail that is tied into a noose-like loop by a hair tie resembling bandages.

He wears a white and yellow haori-inspired jacket with yellow upward-facing triangles on the bottom and black accent lines on the back and yellow school uniform collar, as well as black and yellow matching pants with similar accent lines. He wears a skintight black shirt underneath, which is visible due to loose seams on his shoulders. Doleful wears grey flats with yellow upward-facing triangles and has numerous bandages on his nose, cheek, hands, arms, and legs. Doleful also has a scar on the left side of his forehead.

### History

13 years ago, he was orphaned by a major earthquake. Following that, he was passed from relative to relative, each family either dying or otherwise met with misfortune.

After his 3rd family was sent to the hospital, he was taken away by the Secret Police to be a part of their experiments to create the perfect detective. There, he managed to survive every test, even ones where death was thought to be inevitable, and even ended up destroying a Red SPX. Although the SP could not tell which of the kids he was, he was given the title of “Invincible Detective,” although he ended up escaping the facility alongside 4 other kids before his identity was found.

Afterward, fearful of being caught by the Secret Police again, he underwent surgery to completely alter his face. Sometime after this, he ended up joining the Dayless Night, and became the Quartering Duke.

He encountered Workaholic Detective in the Case of Building No. 6, a series of locked-room murders which took place in the building where Doleful was staying. After Doleful discovered key evidence, Workaholic invited him to catch the killer, and the two solved the case together.
