Laurent Thierry (ローラン・ティエリー) is an international con artist who's built a reputation on being nearly impossible to read. He's best known for targeting corrupt criminals and the wealthy who've made their fortunes by exploiting ordinary people—then exposing them while funneling the stolen profits to those who actually need it. He's basically a scammer with a moral compass, which is exactly as contradictory as it sounds.
On the surface, Laurent comes across as goofy and lighthearted, the kind of guy who'd crack jokes in serious situations. But that charm masks something darker: he's genuinely angry underneath, carrying intense resentment and vengeful impulses he's learned to keep locked down through sheer force of will. His feelings toward Mr. Liu of the Shanghai Mafia—part of Akemi Suzaku's human trafficking network—border on homicidal. What sets him apart isn't just his skill at manipulation, but his ability to maintain control despite all that rage. Fans often note that his self-discipline is almost superhuman, letting him stay several steps ahead of enemies who might otherwise have the upper hand.
