Fyodor Dostoevsky

Fyodor Dostoyevsky (フョードル・ドストエフスキー,) is the head of the Rats in the House of the Dead.

Appearance
Fyodor is a tall and slim young man with long, dark, and messy hair that reaches his shoulders. His eyes are dark as well, and sharp, always giving him a tired look. He wears what appears to be a buttoned white shirt and white pants; accompanied with a long deep red color coat with white fur over them, and an Ushanka-hat. He also wears red long boots.

Personality
Showing a calm and confident personality most of the time, Fyodor doesn't appear to fear to his enemies, boasting enough courage to let himself be captured by them. Despite being extremely arrogant, he is a straightforward and intelligent man with a truly sinister personality.

He calls himself a god. Always talking about the sinful nature of Men, he possesses strong religious belief. Ironically, Dazai names him "Demon", saying he had met Fyodor only once in the past.

Ability
His ability Crime and Punishment, has yet to be described. It is hinted to be something that is able to kill someone with one touch as shown in Chapter 42.

Background
Some time during the past, it is mentioned by Dazai that they had met before. At some point before the war, he allied himself with The Guild in order to search and obtain a certain book.

Plot
Fyodor first appears in Chapter 12, when discussing the operation with Fitzgerald and Agatha, mentioning that he has foreseen the events that took place earlier.

It is unknown what he was doing during the war. Nevertheless, when Atsushi and Akutagawa were battling against Fitzgerald, he accessed Moby Dick's controls and forced the warship into a free-fall after the latter's defeat. Sometime later, after taking a quarter of the Guild's funds, he encountered Hawthorne and together they made a deal to help each other as long as Mitchell gets proper treatment. Agreeing to his condition, Dostoyevsky states that his next step is to cleanse Yokohama of the sinners.

Spreading disinformation about the leftover guild's fortune, his plan is set in motion in order to lure criminal organizations and bring a wave of crime, though the reason for that is still unknown. Dazai states this truth, while a focused Fyodor is somewhere at the bay staring at the sea.

Later, during the events of Chapter 42, he lets himself be captured by the Mafia, specifically by a man named A, one of the five executives of the Port Mafia. While the executives and the leader were discussing his fate, he was waiting in an underground prison.

A (pronounce 'Ace') shows himself to him, stating his name. Dostoevsky then is set free, and brought to talk to the man about joining forces together to destroy the Mafia. Nevertheless, he promptly denies and then threatens the executive to kill him, which angers the executive and is then hit by a bottle of wine. The man leaves, leaving only Dostoevsky together with a young boy who dries him up and they have a small conversation. After A returns, he is surprised to see the Dostoevsky eager to play a game of High or Low, which he wins flawlessly. Angered by this, A orders his subordinates to come, but then is taken aback by the fact that nothing appears to be working, and is then deluded by Fyodor into thinking that it is the work of his ability.

A is tricked into committing suicide after coming to the conclusion that it is the only way to escape Dostoevsky's supposed ability (the ability to lock others in your consciousness), where in actual fact, Dostoevsky had set up the room around them in order for it to seem like a false reality. He leaves A's body and escapes the room where he encounters the young boy he conversed with earlier who is shocked by the fact that Dostoevsky beat A. It is revealed that Dostoevsky purposefully leaked information of his false ability and a way to escape the false ability to the kidnapper in order to trick A. He proceeds to reveal his true objective, gaining a list of the Port Mafia members and their abilities, which Ace compiled as a part of his plot to take over the Mafia. Stating that the list's value will be halved if the Mafia were to know that he owned it, Dostoevsky states that he must not leave any witnesses. He uses his ability to instantaneously kill the young boy and calls himself as a god, while leaving the burning cruiser and stating his next objectives: the annihilation of the Port Mafia and then, the Detective Agency.
