Mycroft Holmes
Mycroft Holmes is the elder brother of the famous detective (by seven years). By profession, a senior British Government official he appears in a series of different Conan Doyle stories between 1893 and 1908. Sherlock’s elder brother is described as sharing many of the same amazing abilities of deduction and knowledge as his more famous sleuthing brother… and in some cases, even exceeding them! Mycroft Holmes however failed to put these exceptional powers to a practical use because of his active dislike for actual ‘fieldwork’. This is our interpretation of Sherlock’s elder sibling, neatly attired in a pearl grey ensemble complete with a top hat. In his right hand, a smart ebony cane… perhaps containing a sword stick.
