Moriarty, Professor

モリアーティ教授

Contrary to the seldom-seen mafia don Moriarty in the books, this Moriarty is depicted as executing his schemes personally, lacking any support network, and frequently clashing with Hound and his allies, serving as the antagonist in most episodes. Remaining an intellectual, he is a master inventor, frequently responsible for the steampunk technology featured in the show, including his personal "steam car," which resembles a hybrid of a tractor and a tank more than a car. His plans can occasionally be so complex or bizarre that they depend on someone questioning or connecting unusual acts, which is often how Hound deduces Moriarty's intentions. At times, he works as a mercenary for other criminals pursuing items he would not normally steal. In this version, Moriarty looks like a gray wolf.
