Dr. Joseph Bell ("You remind me of him"), who was the real-life physician Holmes' deductive ability was based on.


I thought Holmes was largely based off the Poe character.

Yeah, it's interesting. Both are documented inspirations:

Idk, I feel like there's so much overlap between the holmes stories and murders of the rue morgue. Perhaps he took inspiration from Bell to start writing but then the writing was largely inspired by poe's work.
