Description
Albert James Moriarty is the eldest son of Earl Moriarty, born into late 19th-century British aristocracy. From a young age, he developed a deep disgust for the rigid class system and the nobility's mistreatment of commoners, often visiting a local orphanage to help the children there. His disillusionment grew as he realized peers sought him only for social connections, leading to distrust of others' motives. A formative incident—attempting to reform a thief who later committed further crimes—drove Albert to near-suicidal despair. His life changed upon meeting two orphaned brothers, William and Louis. Inspired by William's vision of eliminating corrupt aristocrats, Albert adopted both brothers and formed a partnership, offering his social status, fortune, and resources to advance their cause. This alliance culminated in the murder of Albert's biological family, with Albert personally impaling his brother, and the arson of Moriarty Manor to stage their deaths. The three survived and emerged as a new family unit under the collective identity of the Lord of Crime.
Physically, Albert stands 188 cm tall with a slender build, pale skin, brown hair styled with split bangs, and green eyes. He typically wears a dark green three-piece suit. After three years of imprisonment, he loses weight, grows his hair longer (often tied in a ponytail), but retains his dark green attire. Albert is charismatic and respected by peers, popular among noble circles despite renouncing his title. He extends kindness to commoners and maintains a courteous demeanor, yet harbors ruthless pragmatism towards corrupt nobles, viewing violence as justified for societal change. Academically gifted, he graduated as a King's Scholar and demonstrates strategic acumen. He established MI6, a secret intelligence agency answering directly to the Queen, to funnel information to William's operations. Key actions include orchestrating Baron Rollinson's poisoning, blackmailing Mycroft Holmes, supporting reformist MP Adam Whiteley, and coordinating large-scale arson across London during The Final Problem to eliminate remaining corrupt nobles.
Following William's presumed death, Albert surrendered to authorities, accepted responsibility for their crimes, and entered self-confinement in the Tower of London for three years. He suffered intense guilt, blaming himself for corrupting William. Upon William's survival, Albert reconciled with him, reaffirming their familial bond, and committed to atoning alongside his allies. Albert enjoys wine and family, while disliking prideful individuals and dust. He remains troubled by persistent marriage proposals from noblewomen despite his renounced status. His worldview carries religious undertones, with frequent biblical references suggesting a Catholic affiliation.
