Henry Raymond (unknown - 1868) was a penny dreadful journalist during the mid-19th century. In 1868, Raymond and his greatest fan, a young Arthur Conan Doyle, worked together with the Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye to solve a number of murder across London.
Later, and after their reputation as detectives had grown, the twins were summoned by Queen Victoria, via Frederick Abberline, in order to solve the murder of one of her guards in the palace. Conducting his investigation, Jacob discovered that the culprit was in fact Raymond, who was posing as a guard in order to steal the Sceptre of the Queen. His deception involved taking spider venom to induce a death-like state so he could watch the Queen enter the combination to her safe when she assumed a thief was after it, as well as leaving a series of false clues that the palace would be bombed, in order to allow his escape.
Pursuing the thief to the roof of Buckingham Palace, Jacob cornered Raymond, who had taken Arthur Conan Doyle as a hostage. Jacob distracted Raymond, holding him at gunpoint, whilst his sister, Evie, climbed the palace façade; reaching Raymond from behind, Evie killed him by throwing him off the roof, saving Arthur from his former friend in the process.
Trivia
- The name "Henry Raymond" was a known alias of Adam Worth, a famous criminal mastermind nicknamed "the Napoleon of Crime". A title that would eventually be shared by Professor James Moriarty, the adversary of Arthur Conan Doyle's famed fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes.
