Calvados
(Karubadosu)
Calvados (カルバドス Karubadosu) was a Black Organization sniper.
Background
Calvados' appearance was short lived. He was introduced as Vermouth's sniper for the mission to kill Ai Haibara and was dead by the end of the mission. He mostly appeared only as a silhouette. Judging by Chianti's reaction toward Vermouth and her part in his death, the two of them likely knew each other and had worked together as snipers. His favorite weapon was a shotgun. Upon arriving at Beika Airport, Vermouth calls him with orders to shoot a particular person once they are in sight. Later, he is called by Vermouth to stake out at the docks to help her kill Jodie Starling. He shoots Jodie in the abdomen and disables her. Just as he was about to kill Haibara, Ran pops up from the truck of Jodie's car to protect her. He repeatedly tries to shoot her down, despite Vermouth's orders to stop, and misses. He stops when Vermouth shoots a bullet in his direction. Shuichi Akai later breaks both of his legs and takes his rifle, shotgun, and three handguns. He later commits suicide with a hidden handgun revolver that Akai missed, in order to avoid being taken prisoner for questioning.
Personality
According to his fellow snipers Chianti and Korn, he was infatuated with Vermouth, which she used to her advantage. He willingly obeyed Vermouth's orders during an unsanctioned showdown with the FBI over Haibara. During that showdown, Akai crept up on him unaware and severely injured him. Instead of surrendering to capture and interrogation, he chose to commit suicide. Chianti and Korn knew him well enough to be aware of his infatuation and were furious at Vermouth for leading him to his death.
