  Professor Moriarty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Moriarty first appeared in Arthur Conan Doyle's tale The Final Problem, in which Holmes, on the verge of delivering a fatal blow to Moriarty's criminal organization, is forced to flee to the Continent to escape Moriarty's retribution.
Moriarty follows, and the two apparently fall to their deaths whilst locked in mortal combat atop the Reichenbach Falls.
Moriarty's weapon of choice was the "air-rifle", a unique weapon constructed for the Professor by a blind German mechanic, von Herder, and used by his employee Colonel Sebastian Moran.

 Professor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor by courtesy: a professor who is primarily and originally associated with one academic department, but has become officially associated with a second department, institute, or program within the university and has assumed a professor's duty in that second department as well.
Typically, such a professor may be invaluable to his university department in procuring research funding and/or in publishing scholarly works, and therefore the department would prefer that he not distract himself with teaching duties that are not directly linked to his research activities.
Professors have also been portrayed as being misguided, such as the one who helped the villain Blofeld in the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever, or simply evil like the Professor Moriarty who fought Sherlock Holmes.

 James Moriarty - Memory Alpha
Professor James Moriarty (played by Daniel Davis) was a fictional character from the 19th century Sherlock Holmes novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and brought to life on the 24th century USS Enterprise holodeck.
When Moriarty returned to Baker Street, he was informed by the Countess Regina that Picard had told her that it might be possible to bring them off the holodeck by un-coupling the Heisenberg compensators before transport.
Moriarty entered the shuttle together with his beloved Countess, and Riker suggested they head for Meles II, as the range of the shuttle was not unlimited.

Moriarty does not seem to consider Watson an obstacle of any kind -- in fact, he doesn't seem to consider the new Watson much at all, except as a leverage point.
Moriarty was visibly hurt by this treatment, so it is not surprising that when Moriarty captured Lestrade during SUSS2 he attempted to humiliate her.

 Professor Moriarty
An extremely intelligent man of good birth, Moriarty was a Professor of Mathematics, writing a treatise on the binomial theorem (The Final Problem), lecturing about eclipses, and becoming the celebrated author of "The Dynamics of An Asteroid", a book so advanced that "no man in the scientific press is able to criticize it".

Moriarty had in his study a painting by a famous artist, which Holmes pointed out to MacDonald he could only have obtained through theft.

Sherlock Holmes's arch-enemy is thought to have been Professor James Moriarty (whose brother was also named James Moriarty).
Yes, there is something odd about the chronology of the two stories in which he figures, "The Final Problem" and The Valley of Fear.
And yes, he seems to have been involved in only two of the sixty published cases -- which hardly justifies the popular impression (based perhaps on films and parodies) that Holmes and Moriarty duelled throughout their long careers.

 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 2001281320   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Since their original appearanc more than two decades ago, Michael Kurland's two novels feature Professor James Moriarty--The Infernal Device and Death by Gaslight--have been among the most acclaimed of the works based on the characters first introduced by Authur Conan Doyle.
In Doyle's original stories, Professor Moriarty is the bete noire of Sherlock Holmes, who deems the professor his mental equivalent and ethical opposite, declares him "the Napoleon of Crime, " and wrestles him seemingly to their mutual deaths at Reichenbach Falls.
But indeed there are two sides to every story, and while Moriarty may not always tread strictly on the side of the law, he is also, in these novels, not quite about the person that Holmes and Watson made him out to be.
