Well... in the stories I've read, his name is Dr. John Watson, but Mr Sholmes didn't seem to recognize the name, which I suppose makes sense since Mr Sholmes' name is slightly different from what I'm used to as well.
He's Mr Sholmes' closest friend and confidant, and despite being a medical doctor, often accompanies Sholmes on his cases. The stories are always written as if Dr Watson is the one recording them. He had served in the military, and was described as strong and a capable fighter despite his profession.
So, logically, he should be a British man at least in his 30s, a medical doctor, and from a world that is still roughly in the late 1800s. He's the reasonable, practical, and grounded counterpart that keeps Sholmes anchored.
Then again, the books I read also described Mr Sholmes as being a gaunt man with black hair, so who knows how many details of Dr Watson are different! That's what makes it difficult.
