In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," Mr. Sherlock Holmes comes to suspect Dr. Grimesby Roylott of attempting to kill his stepdaughter. The first description of Dr. Roylott we receive comes from Miss Helen Stoner, who says that he is a hard man who must not know his own strength. She had previously mentioned that Dr. Roylott met and married her mother while working in India and now keeps many exotic pets, but left out any details concerning his appearance or personality.
As soon as Miss Stoner has left Mr. Holmes' flat on Baker Street, Dr. Roylott bursts into the apartment in a fit of anger. He is described as a huge man with a large face, lots of wrinkles, a high and thin nose, and yellowish eyes and skin. He wears a top hat, a long coat, and rain boots. He is certainly an angry man, as he threatens Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson that if they investigate Helen's case, they will face his wrath.
