"Because Sherlock Holmes is a great man, and one day, if we're very very lucky, he might even be a good one."

Greg Lestrade to John Watson

Personality:
Greg Lestrade is a Detective Inspector with Scotland Yard. He often requires Sherlock Holmes' assistance to help with difficult cases. Greg has been affiliated with Sherlock for the better part of five years, but he still does not know everything about his antics and is therefore frequently surprised at his actions. Greg has respect for Sherlock and seems to possess none of the animosity his team has. He tries to get his team to cooperate with Sherlock whenever possible, even when Sherlock is being insulting. Despite this, he is often frustrated by Sherlock's cryptic deductions and lack of explanations for his conclusions, as well as his constant insults. Greg seems to like Dr. John Watson and throughout Series One Greg becomes closer to Sherlock and John, even attending a small Christmas party at 221B Baker Street.

History:

Greg Lestrade was born to a French father and a English mother, in his childhood Lestrade was short and described as having a rats face, thus he was bullied by the other children. When Lestrade grew older however his looks and his height significantly improved, some of his childhood friends described it as "So radical you would think that it was plastic surgery."

Greg is actually a highly competent person unlike some people whom work under him, yes I am talking about you Anderson, and for most of the cases that involve Lestrade requesting Holmes help, it is a matter of convenience and not that it would have been impossible for him to solve them himself, it would just take a whole lot longer to solve it.

Greg has a younger sister whom is 15 year his younger, Holly Lestrade, Greg was highly protective of his sister whom was the more intellectual of the two, she currently works as a school teacher. Holly has a similar intellectual level as the famed Sherlock Holmes, thus making Lestrade used to Sherlock's deductions and eccentric thing long before he even met him, thus explaining his high tolerance to Sherlock.

Greg used to be married, but after Holmes revealed to him, his wife's infidelity, he filed for divorce.

"Not our division!"
