A criminal mastermind and the enemy of Sherlock Holmes, Professor James Moriarty is secretly a rakshasa on Gothic Earth.[1][2] Professor Moriarty ranks as a lord level in the hierarchy of servants of the Red Death.[3]

The two versions of the Masque of the Red Death campaign setting present two different reasons for Moriarity to seek out new foes and eschew Holmes. As presented in the original, 2nd Edition version Masque of the Red Death boxed set, Moriarty had become [[bored][ with Holmes and sought out new foes (as in, the PCs) despite considering Holmes a challenging enemy.[4] In the 3rd Edition Masque of the Red Death hardbound book, Moriarty and Holmes were both nearly killed in the plunge near Reichenbach Falls. The trauma from the event have made both avoidant of each other. Yet denied both his formerly favored foe and effectively exiled by the rakshasa of his homeland, Moriarty's only joy comes from crime. If Moriarty were to discover another worthy set of targets, he would doggedly haunt them to ruination, driven by the need to fill the void of meaninglessness in his heart.[5]

Moriarty dwells in his townhouse in London.[5]
