Joshua Vikner

Template:Infobox character Joshua Vikner, an economics professor and criminal mastermind, makes his appearance in Season 4 of Elementary.

Biography

Vikner appears just to be a professor of economics, but this profession is a cover for his criminal behavior. In the past Vikner was in a romantic relationship with Jamie Moriarty, and is the biological father of her child. After Moriarty's imprisonment he took over her extensive criminal network, but not without some dissent within the ranks. Other members of the group favored Morland Holmes, Shelock's father, as a more favorable predecessor for Moriarty. Vikner sent an assassin to kill Morland, but the attempt was unsuccessful. At the end of Season Four Morland arranges a meeting, Vikner believes it for Morland's surrender and death, but the dissenters use the opportunity to kill Vikner and bestow leadership on Morland.
