Mind

Mycroft is extremely intelligent, possessing inductive abilities greater even than his famous brother. His intelligence is offset by his indolence and disinclination to collect or provide evidence for his conclusions. He also possesses an excellent memory, as he is able to retain vast amounts of information pertaining to his position in the government.

Work

He is a high-ranking official at the top of the British government, as he has influence even on the special services of the state, but his real position is not disclosed. Mycroft claims that he simply "holds a minor position in the government," but Sherlock says that he is the government, being the control center or "clearing house" for all government actions and decisions. This is confirmed by Mycroft's actions. For example, the ability to control CCTV cameras at his discretion, and he also has a special pass to all classified places, such as Baskerville and Sherrinford.

People are afraid of him, he has no friends and he is not going to make them. He sees people as tools or assets. He considers society stupid and ignorant.

Off hand facts

• Irene Adler revealed that Jim Moriarty's nickname for him was "The Iceman". It is revealed that Mycroft might just be smarter than Sherlock in many respects, his presence in Sherlock's mind palace after the latter was shot corroborates this even further.
• He is considered by those in his rarefied circle to be the most powerful person in England.
• Mycroft has a personal assistant called Anthea.
• Mycroft's tremendous intellectual aptitudes and geniuses makes him highly adept at learning new languages, evidenced when he went to save Sherlock after he was captured in Serbia. Mycroft quickly fully mastered Serbian in 2 hours and was able to speak it with enough fluency to fool Sherlock's captors completely with ease long enough to rescue his brother.
• Mycroft's powers of deduction are extremely high, surpassing even that of Sherlock, who is renowned to be the greatest detective in the world, and is beyond the standards of Charles Augustus Magnussen even though Mycroft relied on Magnussen most heavily. His superiority to Sherlock was shown when he discovered what had happened to a hiker by simply "glancing over the police reports".At one point, he and Sherlock have a deduction battle and, as always, he wins.Mycroft was also able to correct Sherlock's deduction of John and the lilo, by saying it was the sofa, and could perceive that Alex Garrideb was short-sighted but had corrective laser surgery, which Sherlock's deductions had missed, from simply looking at his clothes. Mycroft travels everywhere with his umbrella, hidden in its hilt is a fencing sword, and in the bamboo handle a pistol with four rounds, that only he and Sherlock know of.
• keeps a journal in his right breast pocket of his inner suit with information he needs, often random words and codes to help remember certain things, jumbled to most perfect sense to him.
• when feeling possessive he will inadvertently touch the person he’s possessive over along with smelling or breathing them in when especially proprietary.
