" |
Moriarty was a textbook psychopath, with extreme disdain for life, even his, and similar hatred for boredrom and excentric behavior than his nemesis, Sherlock Holmes. In contrast to him, however, Moriarty kept himself busy by committing numerous crimes without the slightest remorse and without any thought for the lifes he was taking, going so far as to tell Sherlock that dying was what people did. [3] His intolerance of boredom, unlike Sherlock's, went even further: he considered life itself boring, and was prepared to sacrifice his own life if he could do more harm by being dead, [2] as his ally Eurus Holmes noted. [4] He also had no interest in the lives of others or himself, even choosing to kill his ally General Shan to guarantee his own safety [5] and reacting to life-threatening situations only with humor. [3][2]
When interacting with people, Moriarty adopted a humorous, cool and detached demeanour, even with people he considered a great threat, which is perfectly shown at the trial when he nonchalantly chews gum and makes a few humorous faces or in his final confrontation with Sherlock, where he briefly adopts an almost clownish behaviour to mock his intelligence. [3] During his time at Sherrinford, he also joked about cannibals locked here and pretended to have written his own, darker version of Nativity. [4] However, he was also known to move extremely quickly from joy to anger and back again, as shown during interactions with Sherlock at the swimming pool [3] or on the roof of Saint Barts. [2] Due to his brilliance, Moriarty displayed virtually identical arrogance than Sherlock, even if he was very careful in his work. He noted that no one would ever be able to reach him, not even Sherlock. [3]
Moriarty was shown to be enjoying music which he listened on his iPod, listening "I Want to Break Free" when visiting Mycroft at Sherrinford [4] and attacking London Tower, and "Stayin' Alive" when waiting for Sherlock at the roof of Barts. [2]
Abilities

" |
- Genius-level intelligence: Moriarty is a tremendously clever man even since his childhood, with levels of intellect rivalising with his nemesis Sherlock Holmes. Among facts, he was able to kill his fellow Carl Powers using extremely subtle method as a child, set up a extended and vastly powerful criminal network while efficently staying in shadows himself, and almost drive his nemesis to suicide with a very well thought and brilliant plan, only being twarted at the last second. He was also a well-read man, quoting an anecdote about Johann Sebastian Bach as well referencing a verset of "Humpty Dumpty" rhyme.
