Sebastian attended Eton and Oxford, spoke multiple languages, penned two books\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I think our lovely sniper could be Lord Moran\u2019s\u00a0<em>son\u00a0<\/em>sent home from the army. Was he wrapped up in something nefarious during his time in the army, like father, like son? Was it swept under the rug and Sebastian just discharged because of who his father was?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jim would\u00a0<em>definitely<\/em> be interested in someone like that.

There\u2019s a hint that he was \u2018invited to reconsider\u2019 shooting John.\u00a0<em>If<\/em> that\u2019s true (remember, this was in Sherlock\u2019s explanation to Anderson) it opens lots of avenues into further subterfuge between Moriarty and Sherlock. Was Sherlock aware of who \u2018Tom\u2019 was\u2026 did \u2018Tom\u2019 suddenly disappear because Mycroft got word to Sherlock about him actually being Sebastian Moran? Meaning once his cover was blown poor Molly was left in the lurch? (Might explain the particular vehemence in those slaps and Sherlock\u2019s jibe aimed at the broken engagement)<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s all speculation. Molly\u2019s slaps are enough to him being glad she doesn\u2019t have the ring, Lord Moran could actually be Moran, Tom could just be a look-alike Molly tried to placate herself with\u2026 There\u2019s so much to explore.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>demonicsymphony: I want to talk about Sebastian Moran for a moment and my theories on our current Lord Moran who was arrested for the attempt to blow up Parliament (not to mention his other dealings) and what his connections to canon Moran might be.
