    		It could only be Sherlock Holmes. According to wikipaedia, "In 2002, Holmes was inducted as an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry—the only fictional character so honored—in appreciation of the contributions to forensic investigation."

    Only once have two different actors or actresses received an Academy Award for playing the same fictional character in two different movies. What is the name of the fictional character?

    He forcibly resided in several places, wearing an item reportedly made of velvet but said, in a fictional account, to have been made of something else altogether.

Who was he? (Or, at least, by what description do we know him?)
