William James Moriarty

William is based off the character Professor Moriarty in the Sherlock Holmes novels by Arthur Conan Doyle. Professor Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, considered to be Holmes' arch-nemesis and one of the most recognizable villains of all time, though he only directly appears in one of the stories.

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

Even at a young age he could read and write well, using his mind and wit to help others. It’s said that he was often in a library without permission, where he learned much along with his brother. His knowledge impressed many adults and he was loved by fellow kids. He would preach to them that the corrupt nobility deserved to be punished.

Growing up he was a mathematics prodigy and excelled in academics, even becoming a King's Scholar alongside his brothers and becoming a university professor at an incredibly young age.

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 his violent deeds, 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.

William is a pale, thin young man with blond hair of medium length with prominent side bangs. One of his most striking features are his scarlet eyes, a shade of color that reminds Sherlock of fresh blood and sends shivers down his spine.[2] Nonetheless, he's stated to have a beautiful face and look like an elegant gentleman.[3]

For clothing, he wore a brown three-piece suit with a red tie and a golden pocket watch. When operating as the Lord of Crime, he was often seen wearing a top hat, a long black coat with a hood and a cane. The cane would also frequently function as his weapon since it could be unsheathed and act as a sword.

He's a professor of mathematics, but behind the scenes he acts as the mastermind criminal titled "Lord of Crime", making him the arch-nemesis of Sherlock Holmes.

His real name is unknown, having assumed the name of his deceased adoptive brother at a young age.
