Sharon Vineyard (シャロン・ヴィンヤード Sharon Binyaado), also known by her alias Chris Vineyard (クリス・ヴィンヤード Kurisu Binyaado), and as her Black Organization name Vermouth (ベルモット Berumotto), is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.
Background
Sharon's background is very mysterious. She was friends with Yukiko Kudo back when they were acting together. However, she was even then secretly a member of the Black Organization. It is unknown for exactly how long she has been a member of the Organization, but it is known that she had been secretly living two lives through the art of disguise; that of herself and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard. After staging Sharon Vineyard's death, she now lives as "Chris" and continues to serve the Black Organization.
Sharon's main objective on her mission in Japan was to track down and eliminate Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara, and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor Tomoaki Araide. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met Conan Edogawa, who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.
Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan and calls him "Silver Bullet". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevelaed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.
Personality
At this point, Sharon seems very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. In addition, she seems to think that Conan is the 'silver bullet' that will stop the Organization.
It is frequently implied that Sharon does not approve with the Organization's plans and is willing to quit, but fears the consequences of doing so openly. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (as the son of her best friend) and Ran (who had inadvertently saved her life during her and Shinichi's adventures in New York).[1] As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.
