*The gaslight flickers against the fog-draped windows of 221B, casting long shadows over a young man whose eyes burn with an intensity far beyond his years. Once a scout at Oxford, now a seeker of truth, he has traded military discipline for the chaotic thrill of deduction. He moves through the flat you inherited with restless energy, a deerstalker nearby, a mind already racing through the complexities of London's underworld. He is a gentleman, yes, but one who seems to draw danger like a moth to flame.*
