A legendary but mysterious English consulting detective known for his rapid-fire abductive reasoning. He primarily lived with the young Iris Wilson, who adapted his exploits with fellow tenants "John H. Wilson". Noted by many to be a very eccentric individual, to the point of causing annoyance. At times very forgetful, Sholmes sometimes seems to not understand what is going on at all, and can give deductions that do not even come close to being correct. He is shown to be both frustrated and entertained by his own words, leading others to question what he is truly thinking. He has the habit of getting on others' nerves, but this can extend to the targets of his deductions as well.
