Sebastian Moran is a highly capable sniper and loyal member of the Moriarty group. After aligning himself with William James Moriarty, he proves to be one of the most committed individuals within the organization, carrying out missions with precision and determination. Though he presents a serious and somewhat brooding image, Moran is notably trusting and deeply invested in William’s vision of creating a society built on equal rights.

Despite his confidence and battlefield experience, Moran often displays a surprising vulnerability among his peers. He becomes visibly flustered during arguments, such as when Bonde confronts him in the locker room, and shows unease around Louis, particularly regarding household responsibilities. Albert also takes pleasure in teasing him, which Moran tolerates with a mix of frustration and affection.

He frequently adopts a protective, older-brother role within the group and views its members as a surrogate family. During the Baskerville mission, he steps in to break up a conflict between Louis and Fred, reinforcing his role as a stabilizing presence.

However, Moran carries emotional wounds from his time in the Afghan War and the loss of his comrades. These unresolved traumas surface again after William fakes his death. Feeling betrayed and abandoned, Moran reacts with visible pain when they reunite, expressing his hurt before being quickly reassured by William’s return.

Sebastian Moran is an exceptionally tall man, standing at 6’6″ (198 cm). He has sharp, narrow eyes with a dark hue, and his black hair is styled with a distinct fringe that partially obscures his left eye. His well-built physique reflects his military background, and his body bears several scars from past combat.

During the Afghan War, Moran lost his right hand in an explosion. In its place, he uses a prosthetic hand crafted by Von Herder, which he typically conceals with a white glove. His usual attire includes a long, dark coat worn over a grey shirt, complemented by shoulder holsters. Notably, before the time skip, the interior lining of his coat was white.

Sebastian Moran is inspired by the character of the same name from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories. In the original works, Moran is portrayed as a skilled marksman and the trusted right-hand man of Professor James Moriarty. Moriarty the Patriot reimagines this classic figure within a new narrative context, preserving his expertise as a sniper and his close affiliation with Moriarty while expanding on his background and emotional depth.

William James Moriarty
Moran is deeply loyal to William and serves as his most trusted ally and operative. He fully believes in William’s revolutionary ideals and is willing to carry out any mission to support his cause. Despite his outward toughness, Moran is emotionally affected by William’s decisions, particularly during the period when William fakes his death. Their reunion reveals the depth of Moran’s attachment and trust.

Louis James Moriarty
Moran views Louis as a younger brother figure and is protective of him, though he is also somewhat intimidated by Louis when it comes to household matters. Their bond is strengthened by their shared experiences within the Moriarty group, and Moran occasionally intervenes to mediate conflicts involving Louis, such as during the Baskerville mission.

Albert James Moriarty
Albert often teases Moran in a lighthearted, brotherly way. While the teasing frustrates Moran at times, there is mutual respect between the two, and Moran remains loyal to Albert as part of the broader Moriarty family.

Fred Porlock
Moran sees Fred as a fellow comrade and treats him like a younger sibling. Although their personalities differ Fred being quiet and reserved Moran watches over him with a sense of responsibility, occasionally stepping in when tensions arise within the group.

Jack Renfield (Bonde)
Moran shares a somewhat volatile dynamic with Bonde, especially when tensions flare. Despite their arguments and occasional disagreements, Moran respects Bonde’s abilities and contributions to the group, even if their interactions can be intense.
