Sherlock Holmes is a famous fictional detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
The character has been mentioned or alluded to by many, including Elisa Maza and Oberon. ("The Hound of Ulster", "Ill Met By Moonlight")
Sherlock Holmes was most prominently referenced, however, in 1996 when Officer Morgan dressed up as the popular conception of the detective during his double date with Elisa Maza at the Eyrie Building's Halloween party. ("Masque", "Bash")
Real World Background
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based the character's deductive reasoning on the Scottish surgeon, Doctor Joseph Bell, who pioneered observation in his patients before making a diagnosis. Doyle first met Doctor Bell in 1877 and clerked for him as a medical student. [1]
From 1887 to 1927, Doyle would write a combined sixty adventures featuring Sherlock Holmes, including four novels (A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear) and fifty-six short stories.
