.oOOo.

The hunt was all that mattered. At first, this was true. Tigers! Dangerous man-eaters plagued human settlements. They had to be hunted down and destroyed. Upstart native warlords defied their British masters creating an even greater danger, providing an even greater thrill. That these hunts were covert and his triumphs remained private mattered not. He revelled in them. The hunter retired but the assassin continued on.

Along came Professor Moriarty offering him power and money to crush his enemies. But what were power and money to him when there was nothing more satisfying than the gentle squeeze of a trigger?

.oOOo.

Precisely why I love the character.

There is something so refreshing about a true hunter.

Thanks!
I like the idea that ambition, revenge, and honour have nothing to do with Moran's ambitions. He just likes to kill.

I always thought that Moran was under utilised in the Canon and should have made a fair better adversary than he did.

I think you'd like my OC Sergeant-Major Reginald Blood, methinks he is carved from the same block of cold marble as Moran...must have something to do with being in the army stationed India etc.

Poor ACD... couldn't come up with a greater foe than Moriarty. Sebastian Moran paled in comparison. (No wonder Holmes got bored of the criminal element and retired to bee-keeping!)

Please, please, please do not have it turn out that Sergeant-Major Reginald Blood is a vampire (There are too many vampire fics out there and the name 'Blood' is very suggestive!)

:D

Fear not SM-Reginald Blood is quite human, just he makes a wonderful assassin and he has no qualms about killing anyone.

In truth he is quite despicable ,there is nothing he wont do.

And yet he has some honour for if someone were to insult Queen Victoria for instance or even his old regiment...They'd better make sure they were very good at hiding, he's been known to travel continents to "get his prey".

I'll have to post some artwork of him.
