It is a fictional story and character, although some have claimed it is based on truth. There is no proof that it was ever true.

Who has the story set up to be Sweeney Todd's enemy?

I assume you are referring to Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd, which was made into a movie starring Johnny Depp and directed by Tim Burton.There have been quite a few totally, completely different versions of the Sweeney Todd story. For example, Ben Kingsley stars as Sweeney Todd in a version that could not be more different. There's no revenge story, no Lucy and Johanna, no Judge Turpin, etc. In the Ben Kingsley version, Sweeney is a greedy villain, rather than a tragic character motivated by revenge.Anyway, in Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, Judge Turpin is Sweeney's principal enemy.
