In how many Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle does this character, voice-dubbed by Gérard Hernandez in the film "Sherlock Hound," appear?
Professor Moriarty Professor James Moriarty is a fictional character and the main antagonist in some of the Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Moriarty is a criminal mastermind whom Holmes describes as the "Napoleon of crime". Doyle lifted the phrase from a Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth, a real-life criminal mastermind and one of the individuals upon whom the character of Moriarty was based. The character was introduced primarily as a narrative device to enable Doyle to kill Sherlock Holmes, and only featured in two of the Sherlock Holmes stories. However, in many adaptations, he has been given a greater prominence and treated as Holmes' archenemy.
