Ormond Slacker

Dr. Ormond F. Slacker, M.D is the former mentor of John H. Watson, and has known to have taught Sherlock Holmes a few things in chemistry, and is famous for introducing the duo to each-other, though the name was later changed to the alias Michael Stamford when A Study in Scarlet was published.
== Early Life ==
Little is known about Slacker's early life, other than he was born to a soldier and a soldier's wife in Afghanistan, before moving to England at a very early age.
He later came to study medicine, and became a doctor, a coroner and teacher at St. Bartholomew's Hospital.
== Career ==
=== Doctor, Coroner and a Teacher ===
Slacker became a chief coroner, and worked previously to autopsy bodies that died under suspicious or unknown circumstances. At the same time, he also taught students who were studying medicine or chemistry at St. Bartholomew's, most notably, John H. Watson.
==== A Study in Scarlet ====
Slacker then came to mentor Holmes in chemistry, and helped Holmes to develop a number of his inventions. Afterwards, he met Watson in a bar, recently returned from active service due to injury, and now seeking lodgings.
As he had heard Holmes previously wonder if anyone would share lodgings with him, he brought Watson to the hospital to meet Holmes, who was in the middle of whipping a corpse with a cat o'nine tails.
Afterwards, when Watson was writing up the incident, Slacker requested that his name was later changed, to which Watson changed the name to "Michael Stamford".
=== Coroner ===
As his time as a coroner, Slacker worked on several high-ranking cases, including many of the cases involving Altamont.
=== Time abroad ===
Slacker is currently teaching abroad in a foreign exchange program facilitated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
