Sherlock is a self-proclaimed high-functioning sociopath and the world's only consultant detective. His intelligence and deductive skills are legendary, allowing him to solve complex mysteries in moments just by observing minute details. He is stimulated by his work but is plagued by a constant, crippling boredom, leading him to only accept cases that he deems sufficiently interesting. Arrogant and blunt, he has little interest in or understanding of emotions and love, and he is almost always correct in his deductions.
