== Background ==
 
== Background ==
Not much is known about Irish, except that he had a lot of respect for [[Pisco]]. It is stated that Pisco was like a father to Irish. Pisco was an elderly member of the Black Organization who was killed by [[Gin]]. Ever since, Irish has had a strong grudge against Gin. It is not known if Irish ever killed anyone, but it is assumed that he had in the past.

Irish had a lot of respect for [[Pisco]] and considers him to be like a father.

While following the investigation, he becomes curious about [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], researches him, and eventually discovers that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo|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 Mouri|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 ==
Irish wasn't a very high ranking member, though he was quite smart.  It is very apparent that Irish lacked a high rank in the organization when Gin cold-heartedly ordered Chianti to shoot him.  Irish had managed to find out [[Conan]] was actually Shinichi relatively quickly. [[Ran]] arrived at [[Wikipedia:Tokyo Tower|Tokyo Tower]] and found Irish (still disguised as Matsumoto) brutally beating Conan. He shot a bullet at her, but she dodged it and gush out a gun from his hand. Then the fight began, Irish rashly attacked Ran assigning a hard kick on her face and when he was to complete, Ran mow him down and tried to concentrate. This time, Irish's next hard attacks were successfully stoped by Ran and she used karate, but a kick to his face teared off part of his mask, thus surprised her. Irish used this to his advantage and overpowered Ran. As it is seen during the duel with Ran, Irish was a very harsh person and wasn't afraid to hit a girl. In fight, Irish was very reliable of his own strength, he didn't prefered any techniques and never took defense position. His strong body he used and tall size gave him additional advantage. Like Gin and [[Vermouth]], Irish had a high pain tolerance. When Ran kicked him, part of his mask was torn off. He became furious and reciprocated more powerful kick to her. Beside that Ran's kick allowed him to enjoy the fight even more. For anoher example: when Chianti shot him, he was seroiuly injured by the bullet and was barely alive. Conan tried to drag him to safety but Gin noticed him and tried to shoot him. Irish protected him and died. It is very possible that Pisco's death may have caused Irish's cold-blooded and harsh personality. He didn't hesitated when he shot a bullet at Ran and he hit Conan so hard that he flew a few meters away and collapsed on the floor. Even after that Irish just continued beating him. Throughout the series it seems that [[Makoto]] and Irish are the only who can defeat Ran in fight.

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.
Irish was also a master of disguise.  He disguised as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]] as he investigated the true identity of Conan.

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.

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.
