Character Sketch:
- Sherlock Holmes - A private detective and the story's protagonist. His keen observations and ability to reason allow him to solve puzzles that astonish everyone else. Sometimes quiet and contemplative, other times bursting with energy, he uses methods that can confuse and frustrate others. He is somewhat a mystery, rarely letting his thoughts known until he has already solved the crime.
- Dr. John Watson - Sherlock Holmes' partner and the story's narrator. Good-natured, brave, and down-to-earth, Watson is Sherlock Holmes' sidekick, even though he rarely helps Holmes actually solve any mysteries and Holmes often mirrors the reader's own confusion.
- Jabez Wilson - A London pawn-broker, Jabez Wilson is an average man whose only remarkable feature is his shock of fiery red hair. His slow and trusting nature prevents him from seeing anything suspicious about either Vincent Spaulding or the preposterous Red-headed League.
- John Clay/ Vincent Spaulding - A notorious criminal working at Jabez Wilson's pawnshop under the name of Vincent Spaulding. He is evil and haughty. John Clay wins the respect of Sherlock Holmes because of his clever plot to rob the city and Suburban Bank.
- Duncan Ross - John Clay's partner-in-crime. Duncan's red hair prompts John Clay to devise the Red-headed League to lure Wilson out of his pawnshop for four hours every day.
