The criminal's name is Rupert Aris, a former inspector of New Scotland Yard. What he lacks in teamwork and compassion, he makes up for in quick-wit and remarkable aptitude for hiding his tracks. There was no real explanation as to why Rupert turned against justice, but many suspect that it was a personal reason. Lestrade and his team have been trying time-after-time to catch this culprit, often finding misleading clues that trace back to already-deceased criminals. The villain's signature is easily distinguishable from other habitual criminals by his obscene murders. These victims consist mostly of couples, whether it be newly weds or old lovers, and their deaths are portrayed in the most vulgar ways. One may already determine from his grotesque killings is that this man is a bit of a romantic. Distressed, Lestrade turns to the only man that can solve such a complicated case: Sherlock Holmes. Casting aside "elementary" cases, both Sherlock and John accept the case without a doubt in their mind. What they don't realize is that this case would be one that they would never forget, a case that will forever change their lives.
