I'm with you. Is he even mentioned in any other stories besides "the Final Problem?" I swear I've read at least 90% of the Holmes stories, maybe more than that (I've never read Study in Scarlet) and I'm fairly positive he only exists as an off-screen villain in that one short that Doyle tried to use to end his fandom...and then fandom dragged him back. That's not even remotely close to a satisfying rival, I need to be showed not told that this dude is somehow Holmes' ultimate rival when we've never heard of him before this one story.

He was also an off-screen villain in one of the novels, I believe Valley of Fear. Plus obviously Moran in Empty House is a henchman of Moriarty, and he's mentioned in a few other stories.

But yeah he's really not that big of a character.

I feel like a lot of people overestimate his presence in the stories, probably because most adaptations exaggerate it.

okay good, then I'm not missing something. yes to Moran, he was actually on screen, had lines, and committed his crime right in front of the intended victim.

Moriarty could definitely have been written out of Valley of Fear and little would have changed. I always forget that he was even in it. The backstory in America is the greatest draw of that book.

I actually think even Sebastian Moran is a more interesting character than Moriarty, despite literally being his lackey. The idea of a crack shot assassin being after your life has such a menacing feel to it.
