Personal note to Dorian:

The subject of this evaluation is of dubious character at best. His family and social history is a complete mess and it was difficult to separate fact from fiction in the later parts of his life. The media had a field day when he was brought to trial but was acquitted because the witnesses “disappeared”. Anyway, make your own judgment if he's to undergo The Process. Just remember, I warned you!

William James Washington the third was born on July 4^th 1973 to William James Washington the second (deceased) and Akiko Kobayashi (deceased) in San Francisco California. William Sr was a convicted drug dealer and hit man while Ms. Kobayashi was heiress to a large family fortune. Unfortunately, she died in child birth leaving William Sr to raise the younger William himself. How and why the two met are unknown. But it's apparent that the Kobayashi family was looking for her (see Warrant# 24427A as an addendum to this report) and willing to pay a lot of money for her return. So William brought up his son the only way he knew how. In the streets of Harlem (Manhattan, NY) in the Bradhurst Section. Historically the worst neighborhood in America during the 1970s.

William Sr (referred to as Big Willie) returned to dealing drugs, running numbers and doing enforcement for Thomas White. An African-American street boss with a checkered history. Big Willie would leave his son in the car while collecting money and selling dope to Mr. White's clients. It was in August of 1983 that William Jr would witness his father's first murder. Of course, Big Willie had committed several other killings for Mr White before but William Jr was at the scene for the death of Janice Johnson. She was a prostitute that had stolen $14,372 from Mr White the previous week. Big Willie was given $5,000 for her death and the return of the money. From their William Jr's life took a turn for the worse. His father slowly spiraled down the path of junkie and hit man with William Jr learning to live on the streets between his father's fixes and fatalities.

This all came to a blinding halt when Big Willie was shot down by police in a drug sting operation in October of 1985. William Jr witnessed the death of his father and two other known associates of Mr White. One officer said William Jr spit on the body of his father as he left the scene of the crime. For several months William Jr bounced from foster home to state institution until a clerk in the New York State Juvenile court ran his name in an international database. She came up with the Kobayashi name and bounty for both his father and mother. A few weeks later William was on a plane headed to Tokyo Japan. The next 6 years of his life are mostly hidden within the Kobayashi family estate. There are several records of physicians and psychiatrists visiting the estate during this period but little is known of what happened behind those enormous gates. When William emerged at the age of 18 he was all grown up.

He was sent back to America for education at Princeton. Apparently he had other ideas and immediately joined the military. He served 4 years including a tour in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Afterward he spent 6 months in Japan and once again returned to Princeton. This time to stay. He double majored in Business and Criminology with plans to be a lawyer. However, two masters degrees later he decided to follow a career in computer science and earned two new degrees Computer Engineering and Electronics. I have included a copy of an IQ test he took when he entered the military. To say this kid was intelligent would be a grave understatement. During his school years he made frequent trips to his family estate as the health of his ailing grandfather (Toyota Kobayashi; CEO of Kobayashi Electronics, deceased) continued to deteriorate. There is some legal confusion as to who at this time was the heir of the family fortune as Akiko and her sister Akiro were both deceased and both had a single son. Not much is known of the “cousin” to William other than he had more than a passing interest in seeing the fortune pass to him.

At this point in William's life he was 28 years old, had served his county for four year and had numerous degrees and an excellent education. He went to work for his grandfather running the US office of Kobayashi Electronics in New York city in downtown Manhattan. For several years it would seem he was content making headway with the company. However, there are several police reports that put him at key crime scenes including the death of Thomas White, his father's former mob boss. William became entrenched in the community and had influence in both the black and Japanese population of New York City. In 2008 rumors of what the newspaper began calling The Vigilante began to circulate through the streets of Manhattan. Apparently, someone had taken it upon themselves to clean up the streets of the Bradhurst section of Harlem by taking out the pushers and pimps. And whoever it was, they were very effective. I've read the criminology reports (see File# 9393A New York Police Dept addendum) myself and apparently this self-styled vigilante had martial training and used a very sharp bladed weapon. Several reports have victims dying from a broken sternum (bone breaking) and drowning in their own blood.

At the same time, the street war between the Triad and Yakuza moving into New York City had spilled out into the streets. A woman named Evelyn Jericho (one of William's ex-girlfriends, deceased) was shot down in one such shootout. The Vigilante it would seem took it upon himself to avenge her death. Although the facts are sketchy, William apparently joined both gangs and played one against the other. They nearly wiped each other out of New York altogether. Neither group new that he worked for the other and it he was smart enough to keep it that way.

On July 1^st, 2010 William Kobayashi was arrested for the deaths of 17 people all related to the Vigilante persona. The case went to trial and although William admitted to his lawyer to killing more than 80 people during his stint as the Vigilante there wasn't enough evidence to convict him. 4 of the key witnesses disappeared during the investigation of the case and he was acquitted of all charges.

Then something happened. Toyota Kobayashi died and left the company to William. The death had some mysterious circumstances and it seems William blamed his cousin. It appears that this cousin had ties to the Yakuza and shared some of William's alternate personality with them. William went back to work for the Triad for a short stint but something happened there as well. He apparently had a case of morality when offered a contract on a Chinese woman. I've got a small report on that if you are interested but it seems he couldn't bring himself to kill her.

That brings us up to current as of two weeks ago. He's been laying low for several months after the apothecary incident and has had death threats from the Triad, Yakuza and his cousin. And he's currently being watched with 24 hour surveillance by the New York City police department. Not only that, but it would seem the CIA has some questions for him and have been putting together a subpoena that they intend to serve in a month or so after they've put their case together against a high ranking official in the Yakuza. If you are going to contact him I'd do it immediately.

As an aside, I will give you a copy of his psyche evaluation. Although he has a lot of anger and seems very brooding he is highly motivated, his intelligence is off the charts and the street rumor is that he has rare martial arts training. I know the word “Ninja” is silly but if I were to classify him I'd be thinking in that direction. Oh, and people have a bad habit of dying around him so don't get too close, if you know what I mean.
