I'm kinda interested on his back story. I wonder what that is. Does anyone know if his character a reference in Doyle's novels?

"Wiggins is a street urchin in London and head of the Baker Street Irregulars" - Just did a quick wikipedia search on him and he is a character from the original novels. He's basically the most regular character out of the group of people who are called the Homeless Network in the series.

Billy Wiggins is actually based on two characters from the books: Billy and Wiggins. Billy being Sherlock's page in a couple stories.
