So did Sherlock Holmes. At least, that's part of his back story in the books, anyway.

I understand. I have no particular preferences when it comes to casework. Well, maybe one. I relish a challenge. So, the more difficult the case, the better.

Well, he wasn't any particular man. Rather, "Man of Twenty Faces" is a title, passed on to different Phantom Thieves throughout the generations. He was a master of disguise (hence the nickname, Twenty Faces). He's a pseudo-legendary figure, and his incarnations have appeared in various books, manga, anime, and even film. As far as I know, there was only one documented case of a real thief who went by that name in my world. He was the rival of my great-great-grandfather, Hironobu Shirogane. But when Twenty Faces mysteriously vanished without a trace, that was pretty much the end of the Phantom Thief tradition, as far as I know.
