* {{Brainwashed}}: Fenwick brought Moriarty back to life to work for him, but it is surmised by Holmes (who at one point muses that Fenwick's thoughts are "no longer his own") that Moriarty somehow turned the tables on Fenwick and did something to his mind that made Fenwick slavishly devoted to Moriarty, who Fenwick refers to as "TheMaster."

One of his greatest achievements is bringing Professor James Moriarty back to life, but whatever goals Fenwick meant to accomplish, they fell through when Moriarty made the latter subservient to him. In line with the usuals of the Igor archetype, Fenwick refers to Moriarty as "Master".

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

to:

* UndyingLoyalty: Even though Moriarty treats him like complete crap, constantly belittling him and abandoning him as soon as it becomes convenient to do so, Fenwick is unwavering in his servitude to the man, even being willing to draw fire and allow himself be captured just to give Moriarty more time to escape from New Scotland Yard.

* DiabolicalMastermind[=/=]EvilGenius

to:

* DiabolicalMastermind[=/=]EvilGeniusDiabolicalMastermind: He's wouldn't be Moriarty if he wasn't. He's so intelligent and successful that the ''only'' way that New Scotland Yard stands a chance against him is by resurrecting Sherlock Holmes. He also dwarfs all the other villains in the series in terms of threat level, often going for potential world domination where other villains are going for simple revenge or robberies.

* KnightOfCerebus

to:

* KnightOfCerebusKnightOfCerebus: Moriarty is in a completely different league than the majority of the show's villains and any of his schemes have much higher stakes. Whereas the average criminal wants money, revenge, or such, Moriarty is after world domination, replacing world leaders, and kidnapping the richest man on the planet.



* MusclesAreMeaningless: Moriarty’s impressive build ''never'' stops the sleeker Holmes from mopping the floor with him.

to:

* MusclesAreMeaningless: Moriarty’s impressive build ''never'' stops the sleeker Holmes from mopping the floor with him. Though Moriarty seems to realize this and tries to avoid a physical fight with him.



* SurroundedByIdiots: States this on several occasions. He's normally right, as often Sherlock only gets onto him because one of his minions made a slip up that exposed their crimes.



* TheDragon: To Moriarty.

to:

* TheDragon: To Moriarty. He resurrected Moriarty to be ''his'' dragon but underestimated just how intelligent and powerful Moriarty ''actually'' was and ended up being the one taking orders.
