<br />
''Jabez Wilson'' is a red-headed pawnbroker located in [[The City]] in [[Saxe-Coburg Square]]. His shop's cellar was used to dig a tunnel toward the [[City & Suburban Bank]] on the other side of the street. His assistant [[John Clay|Vincent Spaulding]] (aka [[John Clay]]) incited him to work at [[The Red-Headed League (organization)|The Red-Headed League]] in order to have him out of his shop. [[Jabez Wilson]] went to see [[Sherlock Holmes]] when [[The Red-Headed League (organization)|The Red-Headed League]] was suddenly dissolved which occured him a loss of salary.<br />
<br />
* He is a very stout, florid-faced, elderly gentleman, with fiery red hair. ([[REDH]], {{refcanon|REDH|1}})<br />
<br />
* He bears every mark of the average commonplace British tradesman, obese, pompous, and slow. ([[REDH]], {{refcanon|REDH|28}})<br />
<br />
* He wears rather baggy grey shepherds' check trousers, a not over-clean black frock-coat, unbuttoned in the front, and a drab waistcoat with a heavy brassy Albert chain, and a square pierced bit of metal dangling down as an ornament. A frayed top-hat, and a faded brown overcoat with a wrinkled velvet collar lay upon a chair beside him. ([[REDH]], {{refcanon|REDH|29}})<br />
<br />
* He has done manual labour. He takes snuff. He is a Freemason. He has been in [[China]]. ([[REDH]], {{refcanon|REDH|33}})<br />
<br />
* He employs a girl of fourteen, who does a bit of simple cooking, and keeps the place clean. He is a widower and never had any family. ([[REDH]], {{refcanon|REDH|94}}) <br />
<br />
* He is not married. ([[REDH]], {{refcanon|REDH|158}}) <br />
