Main characters
Sherlock Holmes: Having faked his death and retired after Professor Moriarty's passing, Holmes has become a reclusive, haunted, and cynical man. Like Scrooge, he spurns Christmas and the company of his friends, including Dr. Watson. He is forced to confront his own inner demons while solving the mystery of Scrooge's death.
Dr. Timothy "Tiny Tim" Cratchit: Now an adult and a respected, though impoverished, doctor, Tiny Tim visits Holmes to request an investigation into the apparent murder of his mentor and benefactor, Ebenezer Scrooge.
Ebenezer Scrooge: The once-miserly and now-redeemed man is dead when the play begins. However, he appears as a ghostly voice and as the subject of flashbacks to Holmes, showcasing his transformation from a cold-hearted miser to a generous, charitable man.
