Sherlock Holmes
In many realities, Sherlock Holmes, known as the Great Detective, was a notorious sleuth who lived in Victorian England. He lived in 221B Baker Street in London with Doctor Watson and Mrs Hudson.
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. Pythagoras-858 thought of Holmes as having a fairly large ego, and a demeanour some might describe as “arch” or “superior”. However, and contrary to popular belief, he was rarely silent and stoic. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)
Powers & abilities
Holmes was best-known for his propensity for “implacable logical deduction”. He was startlingly observant and used principles of logical deduction to draw conclusions about events and people based on a variety of clues. On the physical end of things, he was also a master of the martial art baritsu. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker)

In one universe which was also home to the angel Aziraphale, Holmes was a celebrated fictional character, invented by Arthur Conan Doyle. Aziraphale owned a complete collection of first edition Sherlock Holmes books in his bookshop, such as A Study in Scarlet, being of the opinion that “no library would be complete if it did not make room for the Great Detective”.

As a Librarian

A version of Sherlock Holmes existed in the Interdimensional Library as one of its Librarians, autonomous, sentient projections of popular fictional characters. Like all Librarians, he had the qualities of his literary self, but was aware that he was fictional, and had an encyclopedic knowledge of his own publication history. Jenny Everywhere once “borrowed” this version of Holmes and brought him to Aziraphale's universe, where he agreed to stay at the bookshop and help Aziraphale with bibliophilic investigations for as long as the angel wished.
