Duncan Ross is an imaginary character in Sherlock Holmes' "The Red-Headed League." This name is given to Archie (no last name) to deceive Jabez Wilson into believing that Ezekiah Hopkins was recruiting red-headed men for nominal work at four British Pounds per week. The real purpose was to motivate Jabez Wilson to leave his own place of business for a predetermined time, while John Clay and Archie dug a tunnel through Mr. Wilson's place of business, going into the underground vault of the City and Suburban Bank, for a brilliant gold robbery.
