Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is a self-titled “consulting detective”. He has a talent for being able to deduce and tell things about someone just by looking at them or examining their clothes. He lives with Dr. John Watson at 221B Baker Street. He has a strained relationship with his brother, Mycroft Holmes, very observant sight with very little care for other people's feelings, and thinks he is superior to everyone else. His greatest enemy is James "Jim" Moriarty, the world's one and only premier consulting criminal.

Sherlock Holmes has described himself as "a consulting detective, the only one in the world", consulted by Scotland Yard when they are out of their depth with cases (usually homicides). He appears as a tall, thin man with dark, curly hair. Sherlock is able to deduce information from the smallest details. Sherlock is often insensitive of how this affects the officers and usually ridicules their incompetence; however, he is frequently mocked by them for being eccentric, especially by forensics member Anderson and Sergeant Sally Donovan. Sherlock seems to care more about the crimes than the victims involved. He is not very sociable, but he refers to Dr. Watson as his "intimate friend and associate". Sherlock is rude and inconsiderate towards others, including his flatmate and colleague John Watson (often leaving him behind and expecting him to do menial, domestic tasks such as shopping). However, Sherlock is revealed to care deeply for John, showing uncharacteristic emotion when his friend's life is in jeopardy or when John comes to his aid. Sherlock also has considerable fighting ability, fighting off a man armed with a sword using his bare hands and has disarmed and incapacitates a trained CIA operative on two separate occasions. He considers only three people as his friends: John Watson, Mrs. Hudson, and DI Greg Lestrade. Romantically, Sherlock is self-described as "married to his work"; he is oblivious of how attractive he is to other people. Sherlock ignores the romantic interest that forensic pathologist Molly Hooper has for him, but sometimes uses her attraction to his advantage if it assists him in a crime investigation. After the introduction of Irene Adler, Sherlock appears to have an intellectual connection to her and comes to her rescue. She frequently flirts with and texts Sherlock, but he never responds, save for once, when he replies “Happy New Year” in response to her text wishing him a Merry Christmas. He knows London's streets and alleys extremely well and has strange connections, including a graffiti artist, as well as the entire network of the homeless (whom he uses as his "eyes and ears"). Sherlock is a smoker who finds the habit impractical in present-day urban London and therefore mostly makes do with nicotine patches. He may apply as many as three patches on himself at the same time when it is a "three patch problem"; he implies that the nicotine helps him to think. For the same professed reason, he plays the violin and even composes music from time to time. It is also implied that he has a history of illegal drug use. Sherlock has violent mood swings during periods of extreme ennui when there are no cases that interest him. He is once seen curled up on the sofa and firing a gun at the wall in his flat. He himself claims to be a "high-functioning sociopath". Once trying to avoid getting his face taken in pictures, Sherlock disguised it with a deerstalker. Unfortunately, this becomes his trademark, much to his annoyance, as he greatly dislikes the hat (even being given one by New Scotland Yard as a gift).

Relationships:

• Dr. John Watson: John is the only true friend Sherlock ever had. They share a flat and John is always amazed by Sherlock's skills and expertise. Though he does not show his respect for John, Sherlock reveals he cares deeply for him and his well-being and listens to everything he says.
• Mycroft Holmes: Mycroft and Sherlock are brothers. They never had a very good relationship when they were younger, make jokes about each other, and have frequent arguments. Mycroft has never approved of Sherlock's career, knowing he is capable of much more. But deep down, Mycroft really does care for Sherlock and is there for Sherlock when needed.
• Jim Moriarty: Sherlock hated Jim from the beginning. They first met when Jim was posing as "Jim from IT" an IT consultant and gay boyfriend of Molly Hooper. But he eventually reveals his true identity and tries to kill John and Sherlock but leaves with a cryptic threat. The next time they encounter each other is when Jim breaks into The Bank of England, Pentenville prison and The Tower of London, where they showcase the crown jewels, just to show how clever he is.
• Molly Hooper: Molly is the lovesick pathologist at Barts who Sherlock often asks for body parts. She is in love with him even though she realizes he has absolutely no feelings for her and is always rude to her.
• Irene Adler: Irene became infatuated with Sherlock after she spent weeks attempting to seduce him into unwittingly giving her access to classified information. She flirted with him over SMS but he rarely responded. At the end of episode of "The Lying Detective", John discovered that Sherlock had helped Irene fake her death and go into hiding. Also, in the first episode, when John and Sherlock are dining, John asked him "Do you have a girlfriend?" and he responded with "No, NOT REALLY MY AREA". Although Sherlock appears somewhat taken with Irene after she appeals to his intellect by telling him how “sexy” his brain is, he largely appears to be asexual.
