Meet the characters from Moriarty the Patriot

William James Moriarty

William is that unnervingly calm genius who makes chess look like child’s play and rules like an equation you can balance with a smirk. He plans things in cool, surgical strokes but then will burst into bizarrely tender moments with his brothers (and yes, he probably hums to himself while scheming). Part anarchist, part mathematician, he somehow manages to be merciless and paternal at the same time — which is disorienting but also kind of brilliant. Also he drinks his tea the wrong way sometimes (or is that just me remembering wrong?), and owns more gloves than you’d think necessary.

Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock is the familiar electric brain — hyper-observant, a little (a lot) reckless, and smug in that adorable “I noticed your shoelaces” way. He’s cutting, brilliant, and theatrical when he wants to be, with a violin that he will play badly on purpose or maybe painfully well depending on his mood. Cold on the surface but with these tiny, infuriating flashes of loyalty buried deep down, like a cat pretending not to care but choosing your lap anyway. Also, he’s annoyingly fond of cigars (or biscuits? I keep flipping between versions) and hates small talk unless it’s about criminology.

Albert James Moriarty

Albert is the soft-looking, deceptively sharp younger brother who reads people like novels and cries during tragedies (and then uses that emotion to manipulate the outcome — so, wholesome?). He’s sweet and gentle in a way that makes you want to hug him, but then he’ll reveal a spine of iron and a laugh that curdles the ego of anyone underestimating him. He bakes sometimes? Or at least he likes pastries late at night while planning subtle reversals. There’s a heartbreaking earnestness to him — sincere, a little dramatic, and quietly dangerous when cornered.

John H Watson

Watson is the sturdy, exasperated anchor to all the chaos — loyal like a dog, stubborn like a soldier, and with a dry wit that sneaks up on you. He’s brave and practical, the kind of person who still writes everything down even when the world is collapsing (which, funnily, he frequently is). Compassionate to a fault, he’ll patch you up and reprimand you in the same breath, and he’s somehow both the only moral compass and the most likely to buy everyone tea. Also, he claims not to care about style but always looks faintly on-purpose schlubby.

Mycroft Holmes

Mycroft is the bureaucratic iceberg — impossibly sharp, suave in a slouchy way, and always two moves ahead because he lives in rooms filled with maps and decisions. He’s smug and omniscient (or acts like it), the government’s shadowy brain who enjoys the quiet cruelty of making the right choice for the wrong reasons. He can be annoyingly omnipresent and also shockingly sentimental in private — a contradiction that makes him deliciously infuriating. And yes, he probably eats biscuits at midnight while reading policy papers, which is both sad and oddly relatable.

Louis James Moriarty

Louis is loud, flamboyant, and emotionally explosive in the best possible way — the brother who redecorates tragedy like it’s a party and then sobs into the curtains. He’s passionate, quick to love and quick to terrorize if dignity (or coin) is offended, a gambler with a poet’s soul and fists that do more talking than he does. He’s protective to a fault and sometimes petty for fun, and he has an inexplicable fondness for extravagant hats. Also, he’ll flirt with danger like it’s a hobby and also knit when nervous, which is adorable and alarming.

Sebastian Moran

Moran is the big, quiet storm — ex-military, precise, and a little too fond of the sound of a gun being cocked, but he’s got a soft spot for his boss that makes him unexpectedly loyal. He’s dangerous without theatrics, preferred method of persuasion often involving brute force and a very calm smile. There’s a gruff elegance to him, like a bruiser who reads poetry on his day off (or maybe just one poem, then forgets the rest). Also he eats sweets when stressed (chocolate, probably) which is both weird and humanizing for such an efficient killer.
