It is implied that some of these struggled originated in Sherlock's trauma regarding the loss of Victor Trevor, as Mycroft has noted down 'Redbeard' from a time when he'd found Sherlock high. Sherlock is said to have struggled with drugs in earlier years, at some point reaching an agreement with Mycroft that he would always write a list of anything he had taken. Sebastian Wilkes, who was at university with him, later mentions how Sherlock would 'put the windup everybody' by deducing things about their private lives. Sherlock went to university to read chemistry but was unpopular with other students. He attempted to enlist the police force's help, but his attempts were denied, and the case was ultimately dismissed. Upon reading that Powers' trainers were missing, Sherlock began to consider the case suspicious. In 1989, Sherlock learned about the death of child athlete swimmer, Carl Powers. As Eurus was taken away and institutionalized, his memory of her gradually faded over time. To cope with the loss, Sherlock manifested a memory of owning a pet dog named Redbeard in place of his memories of Victor. Sherlock never discovered the truth of Victor's fate and became severely traumatized, with Mycroft later claiming that he was much changed afterwards from the 'emotional child' he'd been before. She sang a song to Sherlock in hopes that it would lead him to her, but Sherlock misunderstood the lyrics as a set of directions that would lead him to Victor.Įurus' animosity towards Sherlock following this led her to burn down Musgrave Hall, supposedly to kill him. Eurus harbored jealousy of Sherlock’s friendship with Victor and imprisoned Victor in a deep well, where he would ultimately die. The pair often played pirates together, nicknaming each other ‘Yellowbeard’ (Sherlock) and ‘Redbeard’ (Victor). ĭuring his early years, Sherlock befriended a boy named Victor Trevor, with whom he became 'inseparable'. He also had a younger sister named Eurus (one year his junior), who taught him the violin. He grew up with his older brother Mycroft (seven years his senior), who Sherlock in later years claims would belittle him and try to frighten him with stories of 'the East Wind'. He was raised by his mother (a genius mathematician), alongside his father, who describes himself as 'something of a moron' compared to his wife. Sherlock was born on 6th January 1977, 1981, or 1983 and spent his early childhood at Musgrave Hall, the Holmes family home located somewhere in the countryside. John jokes once, to explain Sherlock's behavior, that he might suffer from Asperger's Syndrome, a disorder on the autism spectrum, though this has never been confirmed. Sherlock does not seem to exhibit any of the symptoms of an anti-social personality disorder. However, according to Jim Moriarty, as well as Sherlock's own actions and displays of emotion and empathy, this may not be true. Sherlock claims on more than one occasion to be a "high-functioning sociopath". However, his unusual and somewhat anti-social personality and characteristic has led to many in the official police force distrusting and disliking him. He also often utilizes his "mind palace", a tool for remembering the smallest of details and visually organizing his memories. Sherlock is a thinker and an observer his incredible ability to notice and draw deductions from seemingly trivial details is his primary tool for solving crimes he investigates. He has a keen and strong interest in unusual or bizarre crimes, without which he rapidly becomes bored, relying on nicotine to keep his brain active, although in the past he has dabbled in illegal drugs such as heroin for entertainment. He is based in London and often consulted by Greg Lestrade of New Scotland Yard, usually taking his best friend and flatmate, John Watson, on cases. Sherlock Holmes (born William Sherlock Scott Holmes) is the world's only consulting detective, a profession he created for himself. I invented the job." ―Sherlock to John Watson Tom Stoughton (young Sherlock " The Final Problem") Louis Moffat (young Sherlock " His Last Vow")
