Trivia

• The character is a reference to Arthur Conan Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes.
• When your character observes that he has no shirt on, he will reply with "No shirt, Sherlock". This is a play on the phrase "no shit, Sherlock", an insult used when somebody points out an obvious fact.
• When using an item on Sherlock, he'll say: "That's nice, but... I don't really need one of those."
