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.

Sherlock Holmes was best-known as a brilliant analytical mind. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Time of the Toymaker (novel)|The Time of the Toymaker]]'', [[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Into Misery (comic story)|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.

In the “[[Prime Universe]]”, Sherlock Holmes was a real man who resided in the late 19th century at [[221B Baker Street|221B]] [[Baker Street]] with [[Mrs Hudson]] and [[Doctor Watson]]. They kept a written correspondence with a [[Arthur Conan Doyle|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, [[Mycroft Holmes|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”. | On Christmas that year, he was persuaded to participate in a Christmas dinner with Watson, Mrs Hudson, [[Mycroft Holmes|Sherlock's brother]], [[Inspector Lestrade]], [[Sexton Blake]] and more.

In [[Frankenstein's World|one world]] where [[Baron Frankenstein]] was real, Sherlock, on the other hand, was not. When [[Pythagoras-858]] introduced them to one another, Frankenstein was as stunned to meet the [[Prime Universe]]'s [[#In the Prime Universe|Holmes]] as he was to meet Frankenstein.

=== In Aziraphale's world === | |||
In [[Universe (You've Been To Eden, I Perceive)|one universe]] which was also home to the [[angel]] [[Aziraphale#The hot-cocoa incident|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”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[You've Been To Eden, I Perceive (short story)|You've Been To Eden, I Perceive]]'') | |||
=== As a Librarian === | |||
A version of Sherlock Holmes existed in the [[Interdimensional Library]] as one of its [[Librarian]]s, 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#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] once “borrowed” this version of Holmes and brought him to [[Aziraphale#The hot-coca incident|Aziraphale]]'s [[Universe (You've Been To Eden, I Perceive)|universe]], where he agreed to stay at the bookshop and help Aziraphale with bibliophilic investigations for as long as the angel wished.
