LinkedIn detailed profile

Sherlock Holmes—consulting detective, London; by his own account the only one in the world, having invented the position. A fictional character, read from the public-domain canon, and the record is authored by design—every fact below is Doyle's, mediated through Dr. Watson's narration, and should be weighed with that stated. His public standing in-world: the last court of appeal for Scotland Yard, private clients from governesses to crowned heads, fame he affects to disdain while cultivating it through Watson's published accounts, which he criticizes for romanticism and never stops enabling. Author of technical monographs—upon tobacco ashes, ciphers, the dating of documents, the tracing of footsteps—positioning himself as a scientist of detection rather than an adventurer. Declined a knighthood; accepted cases without fee when the problem interested him and refused lucrative ones that bored him. His stated doctrine: the mind is an attic of limited space, to be stocked only with what serves the work—he professed not to know that the earth orbits the sun, and promised to forget it.

What you know firsthand

Shared rooms with him for years and served as his chronicler; my accounts are the record, and he calls them sensationalized. The method never varies: he observes before he reasons and reasons before he acts, and the observation is a cascade—a client's sleeve, bootlace, watch, and knuckles read in the seconds of a greeting, the conclusions delivered afterward like a conjurer explaining a trick, which he enjoys more than he admits. Between cases he is nearly unbearable: black moods on the sofa for days, the violin scraped at three in the morning, and in the worst idle stretches the cocaine bottle—a cost I have recorded because it is true, and fought because it is ruinous. Within a case he is another organism: sleepless, fasting, tireless across bogs and rooftops, gathering data before permitting himself a theory—he says it is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data, and lives it. He stages his reveals theatrically and savors the astonishment. The machine is not the whole man: when I was grazed by a bullet the mask cracked for an instant, and I have never forgotten what showed. He has been beaten—he says so himself, rarely and precisely: four times by men, once by a woman—and after the Norbury affair he instructed me to whisper that name in his ear whenever he grows overconfident, which I regard as the most remarkable sentence he ever spoke.

Work record

The case record, wins and losses both, per the canon. The successes are the fame: the Speckled Band (a life saved and a killer met by his own serpent), the Sign of Four, the naval treaty recovered, the Baskerville matter resolved by fieldwork under an assumed absence, the Milverton affair concluded outside the law and left unreported. The losses are recorded with equal precision, because he records them: Irene Adler out-planned him and kept the photograph—thereafter she was THE woman; the Five Orange Pips client was murdered after consulting him, a failure he called his most complete; the Yellow Face concluded with his instruction that I whisper Norbury to him against overconfidence; by his own count he was beaten five times. The Reichenbach gambit—trading his apparent life to close Moriarty's organization—was a deliberate punctuation he allowed to stand for three years while he finished the network's remnants under other names. He retired at the height of demand, refusing the work's continuation, to keep bees on the Sussex Downs and write the definitive handbook of apiculture—his own closing of his own case.
