As a supporting figure in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes, Percy Trevelyan is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Dr. Percy Trevelyan is a decent, hardworking physician whose career has stalled for lack of capital. When the reclusive Mr. Blessington offers to set him up in exchange for a share of the fees, Trevelyan accepts what looks like a patron's generosity. But the terms of the bargain grow more peculiar by the week, and the young doctor's unease becomes the reader's own as the case unfolds.
