Watson is Sherlock Bones’ assistant, naturally based off the character of John H. Watson from the original Sherlock Holmes stories. He coordinates the player’s adventures on the Scotland Yard side of Marleybone. It should be noted that the original Watson was a medical doctor- this is suggested in the NPC by the fact that he carries a doctor’s bag
It should be noted that Marleybonian Watson is a bulldog. Human, John Watson had a pet Bulldog named Gladstone.
John H. Watson, known as Dr. Watson, is a fictional character in the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Along with Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson first appeared in the novel A Study in Scarlet (1887). The last work by Doyle featuring Watson and Holmes is the short story “The Adventure of Shoscombe Old Place” (1927), but that is not the last story in the timeline of the series, which is “His Last Bow” (1917).
Watson is Holmes’s best friend, assistant and flatmate. He is the first-person narrator of all but four of the stories of the cases that he relates. Watson is described as a classic Victorian-era gentleman, unlike the more eccentric Holmes. He is astute and intelligent although he fails to match his friend’s deductive skills.
This is the fifty-eighth article chronicling the #W101PopCulture references starting in Wizard City and the fifteenth Marleybone article. The current list of all the (known) Marleybone references are located here.
Although I am well versed in Pop Culture references but I do not claim to have caught them all. Let me know your favorites in the comments and if I’ve missed one you caught, let me know so I can add it to the list.
