“ | Desire and lust are indeed necessary traits for one to have, but a student of Shuchi'in Academy must display self control. | ” |

Adolphe Pescarolo (
Appearance[]
Adolphe is an old man with slightly long parted hair going down till almost around his shoulders. He has a goatee styled beard coupled with a mustache. He usually wears a coat over his long sleeved polo when outdoors and when on official business and takes the coat off revealing the vest and a necktie underneath whenever indoors.
Personality[]
He's strict regarding school regulations, but knows how to garner the favor of students nonetheless. He helped Yu Ishigami get enrolled to Shuchi'in despite not finishing his task of making an apology letter. Despite being an authority figure within the school, he has shown comical disregard for school rules and discipline when it comes to his own actions, having been openly caught playing Pokemon Go on more than one occasion on school grounds while chastising nearby students for doing the same.
History[]
Adolphe attended Shuchi'in Academy as an exchange student 40 years prior to the events of the series and was familiar with the two students whose love story eventually lead to the school's seven mysteries.[1] At some point, he also served as the president to Shuchi'in's French sister school in Paris.

Trivia[]
- He plays Pokemon Go.
- His name was revealed in Miyuki's Letter of recommendation.[3]
- Adolphe is the French version of Adolf, meaning "noble wolf" and Pescarolo is derived from the Italian term "fisher". However, his surname likely comes from former F1 driver Henri Pescarolo.
- His name having heavy French influence is likely done to explain Shuchi'in Academy's French influence and exchange program.
