When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off his most-beloved character Sherlock Holmes by plunging him to his death over the Reichenbach Falls with his arch nemesis Professor Moriarty, the public's demand for Holmes was so great that Doyle was compelled to bring him back to life in a subsequent story, where he details that Holmes had merely faked his death.

Professor James Moriarty is the archenemy of Sherlock Holmes, a fictional detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Holmes, by his own account, was originally led to Moriarty by the suggestion that many of the crimes he perceived were not the spontaneous work of random criminals but the machinations of a vast and subtle criminal ring.

In an episode where Moriarty is interviewed by a policeman, a painting by Jean-Baptiste Greuze is described as hanging on the wall ; Holmes remarks on another work by the same painter to show it could not have been purchased on a professor's salary.

More obliquely, a 1908 mystery by Doyle that was named " The Lost Special " features a criminal genius who could be Moriarty and a detective who could be Holmes, although neither is mentioned by name.

Although Moriarty appeared in only two of the 60 Sherlock Holmes tales by Conan Doyle, Holmes ' attitude to him has gained him the popular impression of being Holmes ' arch-nemesis – as " The Final Problem " clearly states: " Holmes spent months in a private war against Moriarty's criminal operations " – and he has been frequently used in later stories by other authors, parodies, and in other media.

In the Doyle stories, narrated by Holmes ' assistant Doctor Watson, Watson never meets Moriarty ( only getting distant glimpses of him in " The Final Problem "), and relies upon Holmes to relate accounts of the detective's battle with the criminal.

In " The Empty House ", Holmes states that Moriarty had commissioned a powerful air gun from a blind German mechanic ( one Mr. von Herder ), which was used by his employee Colonel Sebastian Moran.

The plot of the short story – Holmes and Watson attempting to recover incriminating photos from Adler – is covered briefly in the first half of the episode updated for the contemporary period ( Adler's photos are stored digitally on her mobile phone ) and adjusted ( the royal they incriminate is British and female ); the episode then moves on to an original storyline that includes Adler, Mycroft Holmes ( Mark Gatiss ) and Jim Moriarty.

The short story " A Shambles in Belgravia " features Professor Moriarty and Irene Adler working to cause a scandal in the Ruritanian government.

In Kim Newman's The Hound of the D ' Urbervilles, a collection of short stories featuring meetings between characters from the Sherlock Holmes stories and their literary contemporaries, one chapter revolves around a struggle for supremacy between Doctor Mabuse and Professor Moriarty.

The Valley of Fear, notable for Professor Moriarty's involvement, is set before " The Final Problem ", the short story in which Moriarty was introduced.

In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Final Problem, a short story in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson hide from Professor Moriarty at a station in Canterbury.

In this story, Moriarty is introduced as crime lord who protects nearly all of the criminals of England in exchange for their obedience and a share in their profits.

Moriarty does not meet Holmes in this story.

Moriarty ( who, though never named as such in the story, is identified as the author of Dynamics of an Asteroid ) is hired to investigate a murder.

Professor Moriarty appeared in a flashback sequence ; a 135-year old Holmes had a brief cameo at the end of the story.

* In a 2006 comic book story featuring Lee Falk's The Phantom, the 19th Phantom has to fight Professor Moriarty.

Under pressure from the White House and his commander, Brigadier General Hershberg ( Michael Moriarty ), to wrap things up quickly, Serling leaks the story to newspaper reporter Tony Gartner ( Scott Glenn ) to prevent another cover up.

The story also provides an explanation as to the antagonism between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty.

This story, set in 1891, introduces Holmes's greatest opponent, the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty.

There were enough holes in eyewitness accounts to allow Conan Doyle to plausibly resurrect Holmes ; only the few free surviving members of Moriarty's organisation and Holmes ' brother Mycroft ( who appears briefly in this story ) know that Sherlock Holmes is still alive, having won the struggle at Reichenbach Falls and sent Moriarty to his death – though nearly meeting his own at the hands of Moriarty's henchmen.

In the 1985 television series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett, the story begins with the theft of the Mona Lisa, masterminded by Moriarty in order to sell prepared fakes to collectors.

The story was later adapted for radio by John Kier Cross ; it was broadcast on 17 April 1955 and starred John Gielgud as Holmes, Ralph Richardson as Dr. Watson, and Orson Welles as Professor Moriarty.

Like the story, it ends with Holmes and Moriarty plummeting into the falls, and Watson is shown writing the final sentences of " The Final Problem " on his typewriter.

However, in the film, the characters are attending a European Peace Conference held near the falls which Moriarty seeks to sabotage, and the two plunge down from a balcony overlooking the falls rather than from the ledge of the original story.

In Kim Newman's 2011 book Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D ' Urbervilles, told from the point of view of Col. Sebastian Moran, the story " The Problem of the Final Adventure " reveals that Professor Moriarty's plan had been to lead Sherlock Holmes to destroy Moriarty's rival, the German criminal Doctor Mabuse.

The 1965 Broadway musical Baker Street was loosely based on the story, making Irene Adler into the heroine and adding Professor Moriarty as the villain.
