Korn (コルン ,Korun) is a Black Organization sniper in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Korn is Chianti's partner, and also a skilled assassin, assigned in the assassination division of the Black Organization. He is always seen wearing thick glasses and a hat.

Personality

Even if he is less impatient than Chianti, Korn enjoys killing, and is disappointed when he does not get the opportunity to, as regretting that he has not been the one firing at Irish. Like most members of the organization, he has a cold personality. However, unlike the other members, he appears to be asocial, rarely interacting with other members unless spoken to. He is always seen frowning and looks robotic. His speech is short and full of pauses, leading some fans to speculate that he may have some sort of speech impediment, is a foreigner with weak Japanese or merely because of his age.

Abilities

He is skilled at sniping. He was able to shoot until 550 yards. It is unknown if he can shoot at 600 yards too, but he was unable to shoot at 650 yards and he is also no match for Shuichi Akai who can shoot to 700 yards or more to 1300 yards.
