Fred Porlock works as a low-level criminal in Professor Moriarty's operation, though he's best known for occasionally feeding information to Sherlock Holmes. Holmes has a pretty dismissive take on him—he basically sees Porlock as a remora fish, meaningless on his own but constantly trailing after the real predator, Moriarty. The comparison says a lot about how expendable Holmes considered him in the larger scheme of things.
