Dr. John Watson
Watson's a former military doctor who became famous as Sherlock Holmes' right-hand man and roommate at Baker Street. He's best known for documenting Holmes' cases and turning them into published novels—something Holmes himself wasn't always thrilled about, constantly griping that Watson sensationalized or got the details wrong.
Beyond the deerstalker hat and iconic moustache that made him instantly recognizable, Watson proved invaluable in the field. His medical background and combat training meant he could hold his own alongside Holmes during their more physical investigations, and fans often note that he was more than just a chronicler—he was an active partner in solving crimes.
While Holmes got the intellectual glory, Watson's the one who actually brought these stories to the public. Love it or hate it, that collaboration defined the whole Holmes legend.
