Edgar Allan Poe/YMMV
- High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Poe was the master!
- Guile Hero: Dupin himself.
- Magnum Opus: "The Raven" is Poe's best-known work.
- Magnificent Bastard: Minister. D (who pities the fool), Dupin's nemesis in The Purloined Letter was the inspiration behind Moriarty and he's got Magnificent Bastard written all over him.
- Older Than They Think: Detective Dupin is the direct literary precursor of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
