Eh Tar, also known as Professor Rathe and later James Moriarty, is the main antagonist of the 1985 film Young Sherlock Holmes. He is a fencing coach and senior member of the board at the Brompton boarding school in London, serving as the mentor and friend-turned-enemy of the young Sherlock Holmes. He is also the leader of the Rame Temp, an ancient Egyptian society worshiping Osiris, the Egyptian God of the Dead.

They are renowned for their deviance from traditional beliefs and performance of violent and sadistic rituals, most notably human sacrifices.

Rathe was behind a series of kidnappings and murders of six men and five women. The women were sacrificed to the god of the dead; they were mummified alive and boiling oil painfully poured over them. Rathe played the role of the high priest, wearing a mask resembling the god Anubis. He has a ring that is highly reflective and is designed to hypnotize those who are forced to stare at it for a time.

He was portrayed by Anthony Higgins.
