The film makes frequent references to who the Fantom and M really is, Professor James Moriarty, the arch-nemesis of Sherlock Holmes. During the fight at Gray's, M's second-in-command (the one who is temporarily punched out by Quartermain and who also becomes the Dante Beast to fight Hyde) calls him James. At M's office in London, one can briefly see that Fantom's Masonic symbols are on the metal doors into the Library as well as a Napoleonic hat in the curio case. Finally, after confronting M in his fortress vast, M tries to kill Quartermain unsuccessfully with a throwing dagger that instead impales a portrait of Napoléon Bonaparte, easily alluding to the iconic nickname of Moriarty's: The Napoleon of Crime.
