Line 7:
* [[Awesome Ego]]: Sherlock himself.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Holmes feels more revulsion towards the blackmailer Charles Augustus Milverton than to any of the fifty murderers he'd confronted in his career.
** Moriarty himself. Holmes' words:
{{quote| ''"The man had hereditary tendencies of the most diabolical kind. A criminal strain ran in his blood, which, instead of being modified, was increased and rendered infinitely more dangerous by his extraordinary mental powers. Dark rumours gathered round him in the University town, and eventually he was compelled to resign his chair and come down to London. He is the Napoleon of Crime, Watson, the organiser of half that is evil and nearly all that is undetected in this great city."''}}
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|''The Five Orange Pips.'' Holmes's client is killed mere ''minutes'' after leaving Baker Street; Holmes has a [[Heroic BSOD]] before vowing revenge.}}
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Irene Adler, who only appeared in one story of the original tales, but is popular among those who wrote Holmes-based novels, TV and movies, especially for a [[Promoted to Love Interest|Promotion To Love Interest]].
