James Moriarty

James Moriarty

Professor James Moriarty is the main antagonist of the Sherlock Holmes franchise. He is a high-level crime lord in London, Sebastian Moran's boss and the archenemy of Sherlock Holmes, being famously described as the "Napoleon of Crime" and the most dangerous enemy Holmes has ever faced. While he only played a major role in two novels (technically one, since the other novel has him only mentioned as the Big Bad), Moriarty gained popularity from fans and critics alike for being Sherlock's most dangerous enemy to date and said popularity integrated him as the main antagonist of the greater Sherlock Holmes media, most notably in films and television.
