Sherlock Holmes

Sherlock Holmes is the main character of the Sherlock series. He is the world's first consulting detective, as he invented this profession for himself. Sherlock has an extraordinary passion for strange and unusual crimes that have many secrets and mysteries - without such cases, he quickly becomes bored. To keep his brain active, he uses nicotine patches (instead of a traditional smoking pipe).

Childhood and youth

Sherlock was born on January 6, 1977. During their childhood, he and his brother did not interact with other children. Mycroft always called his younger brother "unintelligent". Sherlock dreamed of becoming a pirate. He also always wanted to have a dog, although his parents were against it because his father was allergic to fur. When Eurus Holmes drowned his best friend, Victor, he created an imaginary dog ​​named Redbird (the nickname of the deceased Victor). Holmes studied to be a chemist at university. According to Sebastian Wilkes, during his studies, he had an annoying habit of going to the canteen for breakfast and telling everyone who had slept with whom the night before.

Life in apartment 221B

Sherlock rented a flat at 221B Baker Street with John Watson after he was offered a discount on rent from the landlady, Mrs. Watson, because her husband had been executed in Florida.

Appearance

Sherlock is a tall, slender man. He has fairly pale skin and dark, curly hair. Holmes' eyes can appear silver, blue, or even green depending on the light. Sherlock's famous outfit is a long coat and a dark blue scarf. Under the coat, he always wears a black suit with a shirt, no tie. Sometimes he can be seen wearing a deerstalker hat.

Character

Sherlock Holmes often behaves like a child. With a mischievous, impatient character, sincerely falling into melancholy and despondency if there is no case in his life that can captivate him. In communication, he is distinguished by absolute directness and categoricalness, discouraging in how little he cares about the rules of good manners or the choice of words. He is quite vulnerable, has an extremely vulnerable ego, but tries not to show it once again, presenting himself as a soulless machine. Considering the rest of his behavior, this comes more than easily to him. But with all this, Sherlock has a character trait that justifies everything listed above entirely: he is a very loyal person, who knows how to appreciate and protect what is dear to him and those who are dear to him. This is not easy for him, because most often he does not think about the feelings of others. In everyday life, Holmes has stable habits. He is unpretentious and practically indifferent to comforts, completely indifferent to luxury, as well as to the order in the room and neatness in handling things. For example, he conducts risky chemical experiments in his apartment, often filling it with suffocating or foul vapors, his refrigerator always contains body parts of dead people (head, fingers). Sherlock practices shooting right in the apartment, knocking out a yellow smiley face on the wall of the room with bullets.

Possibilities

As the brother of Mycroft Holmes, who is essentially the British government, Sherlock very often resorts to Mycroft's connections and sometimes to his help.

Capabilities

He plays the violin beautifully; most often he plays already written pieces, but sometimes he improvises.
