Background
Irish had a lot of respect for Pisco and considers him to be like a father. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-heartedly executed and his body left to turn into ashes, then he holds a deep grudge against Gin and plans to discredit him before the boss. He disguised himself as Matsumoto[1] to infiltrate the police and retrieve a missing data card with information on the organization's Non-official covers, possessed by a serial killer who had murdered their NOC Masaaki Okakura. While following the investigation, he becomes curious about Conan, researches him, and eventually discovers that he is actually Shinichi.
Knowing that he is going to catch the culprit on the night of Tanabata, he knocks the other detectives out, helps Conan to defeat the criminal, and recovers the data card. After getting rid of Ran, he chases Conan until the roof of the Tokyo Tower. At the very moment that he gains a decisive advantage over him, he is found by the organization's helicopter. Gin, recording that he has the data card in his possession, and that his cover has been undisclosed, orders his death. He is shot by Chianti, but is not fatally wounded. Conan then tries to carry him to a safe place and force him to reveal the boss' true identity, but Gin, noticing this attempt, asks Chianti to fire again. He protects Conan from the sniper's bullet with his own body, a movement that causes his death. His last words are "Shinichi Kudo...keep coming...after us."
Personality
He is quite smart and endowed with deduction skills, as he manages to find out that Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly when he has only met him once. He also becomes suspicious about Conan only from hearing a few comments from other officers. However, he is far from being as shrewd as Conan in case solving, as during the police investigation he is limited to recording the facts without suggesting any useful ideas. He shows no hesitation at using lethal and ruthless force. He enjoys challenges and appreciates Ran's karate skills. Confrontations are enjoyable for him, continues to hunt Conan after beating him down.
Appearance
A strong man, with eyebrows like Devilman and blond hair. He is left-handed.
Abilities
He is skilled in disguising himself, although his large stature constrains him to play only characters of that body type. He is also not as skilled as Vermouth in this practice. Despite these setbacks, he manages to remain undiscovered until the end. He is a capable martial arts fighter, whose strong body can count on well-mastered battle techniques. He single-handedly knocks out six police officers and a security employee, although it is very likely he hit them from behind. In addition, he is able to stand up to Ran in a hand-to-hand fight, defeating her after a balanced confrontation. Even if unarmed, he could defeat a criminal carrying a stun gun with a single punch. He is just as precise useing guns, as when he fights with his fists. For instance, he disables all of Conan's gadgets by firing at them without hurting him in any way. As other organization members, he has a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and after having been shot with a sniper.
