Sherlock Holmes


Sherlock Holmes is the famous baker street detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle who applies the logic reasoning as the method of deduction.

He is drived by the challenge imposed by the most strange and unique cases that come to him, the ones where his intellectual powers are most engaged and needed.

The devotion to his work his such that to him payment cames second to duty; he can pass days or weeks in a frenzy activity until he reaches his goal which he does; a good example of work ethic that help him reach new levels to his profession.

Although he's not a social inclined person, by his activity he has a profound influence in the lives of the persons that come to him for help in the matters that troubled them. He also plays a philanthropic role in some causes that come to his attention although he doesn't speak of them much.

He's a man of action rather than words, but he can be a good company, specially with his friend and confident Dr. Watson.

He's well fluent in the subjects that interest him and are indispensable to his work, such as chemics, and not quite so to the ones that are superfluous. But he has a taste for art, specially music and his loved violin.

So this is Sherlock Holmes, world's famous detective, someone that can be trusted and relied upon, friend of his friend and a positive influence on society. What more can be asked?
