Description

Physical appearance

In the Prime Universe, Sherlock Holmes was “domineeringly tall, thin without being lanky”. He had a thin, pale face and receding, short, dark brown hair. He wore a brown jacket over a cream-coloured shirt, with a blue tie. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

Personality

Sherlock Holmes was best-known as a brilliant analytical mind. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker, COMIC: Journey Into Misery) He was extremely focused on his work, having to be laboriously persuaded by Doctor Watson every time Watson wanted him to take part in some “frivolous” leisure activities such as a Christmas dinner.

Biography

In the Prime Universe

In the “Prime Universe”, Sherlock Holmes was a real man who resided in the late 19th century at 221B Baker Street with Mrs Hudson and Doctor Watson. They kept a written correspondence with a Mr Doyle who often irritated them by trying to convince them of the truth of the supernatural. By 1895, he had met Professor Moriarty, whom he understood to be dead. On Christmas that year, he was persuaded to participate in a Christmas dinner with Watson, Mrs Hudson, Sherlock's brother, Inspector Lestrade, Sexton Blake and more. Even on the morning of the 24th, however, he was still working on a monograph, “concerning the differences between the analysis of footprints left in snow, and that of those imprinted on dirt or clay”.

At three in the afternoon, however, he was interrupted by a strange visitor who initially used the name “Moriarty” to get his attention, then more properly introduced himself as Pythagoras. Pythagoras was a Clockwork Cherub and had travelled back in time to meet Sherlock; from Pythe's perspective, this was not his first meeting with the British detective, but their prior encounters had taken place later in Holmes's timeline. He convinced Holmes that he was not mad by telling him about a typographical error in a memo whose only draft was still in Holmes's office, not having been published yet. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
