Some basic facts about one Sebastian Moran, from his wikipedia page. Due to his not having appeared in Sherlock BBC as of yet, it will be assumed that he is the pesky and omnipresent sniper.
- He was educated at Eton College and the University of Oxford before embarking upon a military career.
- Formerly of the 1st Bangalore Pioneers, he served in the Jowaki Expedition of 1877-1878 and in the Second Anglo-Afghan War, seeing action at the Battle of Charasiab, 6 October 1879 (for which he was mentioned in dispatches); the Battle of Sherpur, 23 December 1879; and at Kabul.
- The above can be adapted to modern times; Sebastian having been discharged after working as a marksman in Afghanistan during the recent invasion (2001-present).
- Once crawled down a drain after a wounded man-eating tiger.
- Outwardly respectable, with an address in Conduit Street, Mayfair.
- He was soon recruited by the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty.
- Moran soon came to be used solely for assassinations that required his peculiar skill with the rifle.
