Fred Pollock, occasionally referenced as Fred Porlock, serves as a London newspaper journalist renowned for his investigative prowess and sharp intuition. He holds the rare distinction of being one of the few individuals privy to Professor James Moriarty's true identity and activities. This crucial knowledge positions him as a significant external ally to William James Moriarty and his brothers, Albert and Louis. Pollock's role involves gathering critical intelligence on corrupt aristocrats, directly supporting the Moriartys' objective to dismantle societal structures. He further employs his writing skills to craft propaganda advancing their cause. Despite this active collaboration, he deliberately maintains independence from the Moriarty inner circle. This separation preserves his professional objectivity, allowing him to provide unclouded perspectives that prove strategically valuable. Personality assessments identify him as an ISTP (Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving), indicative of a reserved demeanor, analytical problem-solving focused on logic and pragmatism, adaptability, and a preference for meticulous planning. Further analysis suggests Enneagram Type 6w5 (Loyalist), highlighting a strong drive for security, loyalty to allies, and underlying anxiety when facing uncertainty or threats. His loyalty manifests through consistent support, even when undertaking actions entailing significant personal risk.
