- "I have always held, too, that pistol practice should be distinctly an open-air pastime; and when Holmes, in one of his queer humours, would sit in an armchair with his hair-trigger and a hundred Boxer cartridges and proceed to adorn the opposite wall with a patriotic V.R. done in bullet pocks, I felt strongly that neither the atmosphere nor the appearance of our room was improved by it."
– John Watson
Dr. John H. Watson is the deuteragonist of Sherlock Holmes book series by doctor and author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He is best known as the loyal friend, confidant, and biographer of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes in Doyle's detective stories. Dr. Watson serves as the narrator of most of these stories, providing the readers with insight into Holmes' investigative methods and deductions. Dr. Watson is depicted as a former British Army surgeon who served in the Second Afghan War; after being injured in battle, he becomes an invalid and returns to London. It is during this time that he meets Sherlock Holmes and the two quickly form a friendship. Watson is portrayed as a dependable and steadfast companion to Holmes, as well as a reliable assistant when it comes to unraveling complex mysteries.
Dr. Watson is often portrayed as a conventional and straightforward individual, in contrast to Holmes' eccentric and enigmatic personality. Despite this, Watson is portrayed as a knowledgeable and skilled doctor in his own right, often assisting Holmes in medical matters during their investigations. His medical background also allows him to provide a more rational perspective to Holmes' often unorthodox methods. Throughout the stories, Dr. Watson is also depicted as a romantic character, with various love interests and eventual marriage to Mary Morstan, whom he meets during one of the cases. Despite his marriage, he remains a close friend and confidant to Holmes, frequently joining him in his investigations.
