That didn't stop the folks at Chaosium from featuring
him in the adventure included in Cthulhu by Gaslight.
As for Dr. Joseph Bell (the above mentioned
inspiration for Holmes), there was a BBC produced
series called Murder Rooms: The Dark Origins of
Sherlock Holmes which feature Dr. Bell and Conan
Doyle. Unfortunately, this excellent series is not yet
available commercially in the States.

But consider that Mycroft is of similar build and and
activeness as Nero Wolfe.
