i have a theory guys . what if Jim Moriarty from BBC’s Sherlock is actually the master.
Here’s my thinking, When it was revealed that Missy was the master regenerated it is also said that she has been on earth for a long time collecting for the army of the dead. It is never actually stated that it was the only regeneration from the john simm master to the mistress so what if there was one before. If you watch both characters they’re very similar in character… crazy, hugely intelligent, good at manipulating/controlling people even there mannerisms are the same.
Obviously the master is keeping a low profile in London as to not to draw attention to the doctor. Of course a psychopath like the master will get bored really quickly so he assumes the identity of Jim Moriarty and begins to run a criminal organisation where he comes in contact with Sherlock Holmes. The two clash in a game of witts until the master/ Moriarty gets bored again and decides to play one last prank on Sherlock. He Places him in a no win situation to end things once and for all. Moriarty shoots himself without hesitation because he knows he will simply regenerate and have the last laugh. when Sherlock jumps he regenerates into the mistress and goes back to planning the cyber man attack
