An apparently blind apple vendor who has set up shop outside the entrance to Scotland Yard for over a decade. He is a bottomless, though expensive, source of confidential information concerning police business. The Yard's constabulary tolerates his presence because he is not above playing both sides of the street; many times the police have nabbed their man because of one of Augie's tips.
Bouncer at the Moongate Pub. A large, muscular man with a wooden expression that bespeaks terminal boredom or abysmally low intelligence. He holds a truncheon to enforce order among the clientele. However, given the usual conditions of the patrons, he rarely needs it. He's seen Bill Talbot sober and taking a beer with his wife, which is rather unusual.
Protagonist, companion of Sherlock Holmes, chronicler of Holmes' cases. Watson and Holmes are almost inseparable. Watson is a former rugby player, as is discussed in the game. Also discussed is Watson's record of service in the British Army, having served in India and Afghanistan soon after his receiving his medical degree.
Lestrade is an inspector with Scotland Yard. Watson has often likened his visage to that of a rodent. His investigate techniques are wholly conventional, which often leads to him finding himself out of his depth in more challenging cases. As a result, he will often request Holmes' assistance, not unlike the beginning of this game.
Newsstand operator outside 221B Baker Street. Though legally blind since being wounded in the Crimea, Mr. Rigby recognizes all of his regular customers by the sound of their voice or the size of their tips. His proximity to the home of the world's greatest detective likely contributes to his having never been short-changed.
Micky is one of the dirtier drunk patrons of the Moongate Pub.
Stage actress, star of The Loves of Hattie Hill, and sister to Anna Carroway. Murdered in the alley behind the Regency Theatre. She had season tickets to performances at the Chancery Opera House, never failing to miss an opportunity to hear her sister sing. Was seeing James Sanders prior to her untimely demise. Wore a large ivory pendant, a gift from her beloved sister, Anna.
The main character, lead protagonist, master of disguise, pioneer of forensic science, practitioner of deductive reasoning, and world's greatest detective. Fond of playing the violin, smoking a pipe stuffed with tobacco, and injecting cocaine. Made his debut in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's 1887 novel, A Study in Scarlet, and would go on to appear in several more novels, dozens of short stories, and various adaptations in theater, television and film.
Publican/bartender and landlord of the Moongate Pub in Covent Garden, London. Served with the First Bangalore Fusiliers in India beginning in 1865, where he rode an elephant, and shot and killed a tiger, whose stuffed head adorns the Pub above its front door. Also attended Queen Victoria's 30th anniversary celebration in 1867 with his mother, while working as a ticket-taker in the London underground transit system. Since such tours of duty in Bangalore often lasted five years or longer, unless brought back to Britain by death or disgrace, the publican's service past is checkered, at best -- a fact that he keeps from his mostly military clientele. His ravaged appearance is contradicted by a well-kept moustache of a type characteristic of a Sergeant-Major of the British Army. He is cadaverously thin, with the haunted eyes and sallow complexion of an opium user. He wears a black band around his left arm. The finest darts player the Moongate Pub has ever seen - until Sherlock Holmes shambled through its door, that is. Refuses to play darts unless the challenger is the best in the bar on a given night. Fond of lemon squash. Friends with the proprietor of Bradley's Tobacco Shop, just west of the Pub.
The leader of the Baker Street Irregulars, Wiggins is only a boy, but he is cunning and perspicacious. He and his band of street urchins are justly renowned for speedily (and discreetly) locating anyone and anything in London. Stationed outside 221B Baker Street, where business is brisk.
