ORIGINEnglish
A highly intelligent and audacious criminal whose elaborate scheme to exploit the Red-Headed League provides the cover for a far more ambitious plan beneath it. Described by Holmes as occupying the fourth smartest position in London, he combines aristocratic bearing with complete moral absence - a man of good family and considerable gifts entirely devoted to crime.
