Sherlock character description

Sherlock Holmes: An extrovert, he's not shy although the way he talks can come across very robotic and rude. Justs like he's trying to gathr information instead of actually have a converstion with someone. He calls himself a 'consulting detective' so the police can consult him when they need to. Although he doesn't get paid so everyone he works with are a bit suspicous of him. He's a high functioning sociopath, although often mistaken for a psychopath.


John Watson: Balances out Sherlock, he's considerate and respect full, this is why they make a good duo, they're very different from each other so their personalities balance each other out. Watson is an Ex military doctor, he was diagnosed woth PTSD from being in the war, although it's later found that he misses the thrill and danger of it. This is part of the reason he teamed up with Sherlock.


Detective inspector Lestrade: Is one of Sherlock main police contacts. He's honest and he respects Sherlock, (unlike some of his co-workers). Although he does have a level of respect for Sherlock we can tell he does get cery frustrated with him quite often.


Mycroft Holmes: Sherlocks brother, made to seem like an enemy of his at the start of the episode, but at the end of the episode it's revealed that he is actually just looking out for him and wants to help him. He works in the UK goverment, this is how he got access to the CCTV cameras that saw Watson.
