Question for Sep 30, 2010

X is a criminal mastermind, described as the "Napoleon of Crime". X was a kind of mafia godfather in England, protecting all the criminals there in return for a share of profits. X was acknowledged to be endowed with "phenomenal mathematical faculty", with works such as "A Treatise on the Binomial Theorem" and "The Dynamics of an Asteroid" and he was elected to the mathematical chair at a university on the strength of the former work. Later, rumours about his involvement in criminal activities led him to resign his post and devote his complete attention to crime. His choice of weapon is an air-rifle designed to look like a cane. A favourite method of his was to organize "accidents" to kill his enemies. He finally met his death while battling his arch-nemesis, Y, falling from atop the Reichenbach Falls.

Identify X. Bonus points for identifying Y.
