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 as well dark, and sharp, always giving a tired look. He wears what appears to be a buttoned white shirt and white pants; accompanied with a long deep red colour 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 of being extremely arrogant, he is a straightforward and intelligent man with a truly sinister personality.

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

Ability
Crime and Punishment (罪と罰,).

While his ability has yet to be actually 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 on Chapter 12, when discussing with Fitzgerald and Agatha about the operation, 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, Dostoevsky 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, especifically by a man named A, one of the five executives of the Port Mafia. Meanwhile the executives and the leader were discussing about about his fate, he was awaiting in an underground prison.

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, then they have a small conversation. After Ace returns, he is surprised to see the man eager to play a game of High or Low, which he wins flawlessly. Angered by this, he 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 to think that it's the work of his ability.

After the executive commits suicide after noticing that he was tricked meticulously by him, he then exits the room and encounters the young boy once again. He proceeds to reveal his true objective, a list of the mafia members and abilities which Ace compiled. So, in order to not leave any witness, he uses his ability to assassinate 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.
