Guardsman Stephen Bainbridge is a young man who works as a royal guard.
Biography[]
Bainbridge contacts Sherlock Holmes and John Watson when he believes he is being stalked. On the day Sherlock and John come to investigate, he is found in the shower with a small stab wound to his stomach. They were unable to solve the mystery at the time, and it continued to be such until John's wedding and the life of a guest is threatened. Sherlock uses the new information to uncover a different motive; Bainbridge was not the intended victim, but rather was a guinea pig for a greater murder. Jonathan Small, the photographer at the wedding, used Bainbridge to practise his plan to murder James Sholto; he manages to stab Bainbridge through his belt by pretending to be a tourist and standing behind him to take a photo. The wound is held together by Bainbridge's belt, but as soon as he takes it off, the blood began to flow. He survives with the help of John and Sherlock.[1]
