If you read up on some of Poe's life you can answer this your self, but the masked visitor represent death and illness. Through out Poe's life most of the woman including his wife and mother all died of TB. This impacted Poe a great deal.
Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein and King of Bohemia, was the fictional king in A Scandal In Bohemia. While the details of his reign, becoming first a duke and then being crowned king, were plausable for Bohemian kings, the actual king at that time was Francis Joseph who was also at the same time Austrian Emperor and King of Hungary. Bohemia was a region in what is now the Czech Republic.
I think in The Scandal in Bohemia, he dressed up as a clergyman and used red paint to fake blood to get into Irene Adler's home.
In Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death," the masked visitor symbolizes the inevitability of death, illustrating that no one can escape mortality. The revelers, in their opulent surroundings, believe they can avoid the plague by isolating themselves, but the arrival of the masked figure serves as a stark reminder that death is inescapable. Ultimately, the guests' fate reveals the futility of their attempts to evade their reality, teaching a profound lesson about the universality of death and the illusion of safety.
To Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler was always *The* Woman. It was not that he was attracted or attached romantically to her but that she was the only woman to outsmart him, the only others being a few men.
