I don't think this question exactly has an answer. Sherlock Holmes is (regrettably) a fictitious character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The first book he appeared in was titled 'A Study in Scarlet' and written by the same man. There were many stories written and filmed about Sherlock Holmes subsequent to this.

What does Professor James Moriarty do in Sherlock Holmes?

Professor James Moriarty is a fictional character and the archenemy of the detective Sherlock Holmes in the fiction of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Moriarty is a criminal mastermind, described by Holmes as the "Napoleon of crime". Doyle lifted the phrase from a real Scotland Yard inspector who was referring to Adam Worth, one of the real life models of Moriarty. The character of Moriarty as Holmes' greatest enemy was introduced primarily as a narrative device to enable Conan Doyle to kill off Sherlock Holmes, and only featured directly in two of the Sherlock Holmes stories. However, in more recent derivative work he is often given a greater prominence and treated as Holmes' primary antagonist.But as we know, Holmes survived his fall from the waterfall - yay!"At the age of twenty-one he wrote a treatise upon the binomial theorem which has had a European vogue. On the strength of it, he won the mathematical chair at one of our smaller universities, and had, to all appearances, a most brilliant career before him." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'The Final Problem'
