Victor Savage

Nephew of Culverton Smith who stood between Smith and a reversion.
“His nephew, Watson — I had suspicions of foul play and I allowed him to see it. The boy died horribly.” (Sherlock Holmes)

“Poor Victor was a dead man on the fourth day — a strong, hearty young fellow. It was certainly, as you said, very surprising that he should have contracted an out-of-the-way Asiatic disease in the heart of London — a disease, too, of which I had made such a very special study. Singular coincidence, Holmes. Very smart of you to notice it, but rather uncharitable to suggest that it was cause and effect.” (Culverton Smith)
