Sherlock Holmes

Empty House is a Noble Phantasm of Sherlock Holmes. It allows him to disguise himself as other individuals, including Heroic Spirits. It is not a perfect imitation, since the parameters he imitates cannot exceed his own parameter values, and he cannot use the skills and Noble Phantasms associated with Heroic Spirits he imitates.

During the events of the Shinjuku Singularity, Holmes used Empty House to disguise himself as Edmond Dantès. He was recognised as a fake when he referred to himself as Edmond Dantès, instead of The Count of Monte Cristo.

Elementary, My Dear is the Noble Phantasm acquired by Sherlock Holmes when materialized as a Servant. It is his Origin of "Elucidation" sublimated as a Noble Phantasm.

Even if the enigma that is being opposed is truly an unresolvable mystery, the route and the clues that will finally arrive at the truth of it will "appear" without exception. For example, even if the key to a treasure chest is lost, the key will end up "not being lost", and it appears that it can be definitely discovered somewhere in the world. (However, as one would expect, it does not suddenly appear in the middle of one's hand, and wherever it is, Holmes and his collaborators must discover it.)

Originally a continuously active-type Noble Phantasm, it has the release of its True Name performed in Fate/Grand Order. At the moment of its True Name release, an unidentifiable "sphere" appears, and it releases a dazzling light to the surrounding areas. The enemy formation is weakened and the allies formation is strengthened. Even if the opponent is supposed to be unbeatable, Holmes will find a way to defeat them.

Also, its True Name is one of the famous sayings associated with Holmes, yet the first instance in which it was attributed to him was not in Doyle's novels, but actually in the stage play produced/scripted/starred by William Gillette. It has been said that Doyle praised the Holmes played by Gillete as “surpassing the one in my novels”. Incidentally, the common assumption is that Gillete conceived it based on Holmes’ “elementary” remark towards Watson from Doyle’s short story - “The Adventure of the Crooked Man".

Inherent Insight (A++ → A+++ Rank): The ability to perceive the true nature of things. His sharp eyes for observation will not overlook any sort of information. Although their principles are completely different, this can read into the future in a way that is similar to the future prediction of Clairvoyance If one succeeds in their Luck Check during the cases that it is used against Servants, it will even find out about a truth that was firmly hidden by means of magecraft, Noble Phantasms and the like.

Abduction (A+ Rank): A kind of logical inference and induction in a wide sense of the word. It is an inference in itself when related to the study of logic, but when Holmes uses it occasionally with the process of elimination, it reaches the level of a special ability. Moreover, Holmes occasionally makes use of deduction methods as well. This Skill is no more than one of his reasoning methods. The One Who Reveals Truth (EX Rank): Upgrade from Abduction in Fate/Grand Order.

Baritsu (B++ Rank): One has learned a martial art of the Orient that is extremely suitable for actual combat. Besides making use of striking techniques that had this Skill and boxing combined and incorporated into them, Sherlock Holmes also uses counters and throwing techniques as his specialties too. If conditions are satisfied, it can even further be utilized as a special move that is on the class of a Noble Phantasm's True Name Release.

Territory Creation (EX Rank): Although there is no need for him to create a territory for a Magic Workshop like ordinary Casters, by continuously expanding a large library of memory within his head like the Jesuit Matteo Ricci, Holmes gains a bonus in all of his knowledge checks.

As Mash suspected, Holmes was initially summoned as a Caster-class Servant. This is further shown in his Class Skill, Territory Creation, a common Skill of Casters. After contracting under Chaldea's FATE system, Holmes's class changed to Ruler. He is also capable enough to take up the Saber and Archer classes.

In combat, Holmes performs hand-to-hand combat attacks by means of Baritsu. Also, Holmes can produce beams of light with objects and the like that are remodeled into… his personal accessories, which are like special Magecraft Mystic Codes. Holmes declares that these are "a large number of Mystic Codes that were discovered in the Back Regions of Tibet during the Great Hiatus", but the veracity of this statement is ambiguous.

As an Apostle of the Alien World, he was given the ability to travel to different Singularities before joining Chaldea, in order to aid them in defeating Goetia. It is also implied by Surtr that, like the other Apostles, Holmes' Saint Graph has been merged with at least one other Heroic or Divine Spirit. The identity and abilities of them is unknown.

1. James Moriarty: "Honestly, it's quite intriguing. I suppose this is what is termed "karma" in East Asia. Now tell me: Where would the 21st century Reichenbach be? ...At least there will never be a dull moment." ————His greatest enemy, and his most worthy rival.

2. Henry Jekyll and Hyde: "Henry Jekyll. I must have a conversation with him one of these days." An acquaintance from while he was alive. From the way it seems, Holmes feels some responsibility for allowing Moriarty’s “Evil” to become the trigger for Hyde’s birth.

3. Jack the Ripper: The culprit of a series of grotesque murder cases that happened during his lifetime in which Holmes could not get involved for it was within “the domain of the Clock Tower”. Every time he sees her, Holmes happens to show a deeply emotive look on his face.

4. Helena Blavatsky: "Madame Blavatsky... I do understand her passion. Nothing for it. ...It's not that we don't get along. She is an old acquaintance, after all." An acquaintance from while he was alive. Holmes clearly remembers, even now, the facial expressions Helena showed and the words she told him during her last moments.

5. Leonardo da Vinci: His colleague at Chaldea. A fellow genius. From the way it seems, da Vinci is one of the few people who can carry out a conversation with Holmes and make him let his guard down.

6. Charles Babbage: His client in regard to the Human Order Incineration Incident (although Chaldea’s Babbage is a “different person” in some sense). They often exchange greetings with one another even in Chaldea.

7. Lord El-Melloi II: "A mage from the Clock Tower. I'll have him make a bit of time for me. There's much for us to discuss." They see eye to eye. They are often deep in talk in Chaldea’s lobby.

8. Shakespeare and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: A closet fan of them as a matter of fact.

Holmes is famous for his deductive mind and believes in taking cases for the sake of justice and as an intellectual pursuit rather than for fame, fortune or glory.

Contemplative, but at the same time, active. Bold, but at the same time, precise. And also a calm and composed man. Any kind of mystery, crime, and scheme cannot run from Holmes' eyes. Even if it is a fearsome killer, an ancient curse, a monster of the dark night, and even if it is an ultra nationalistic secret association, he will reveal everything. If necessary, he would defeat it. With the sharp blade called the truth. That way of life has already surpassed the boundary of men. It could even be called the personification of "A Wise Man" or a "Revealer".

While he appears dedicated to the cause of Chaldea, there are hints that his true loyalty may be to Proper Human History as a whole rather than to Chaldea. It is unclear what would happen if he were forced to choose between his Master and Proper Human History, and when directly asked this by Blatavasky he outright refused to answer the question. He has mentioned that there may be forces in play behind his selection as a Ruler that even he is not fully aware of, but what these might be is unknown.

According to Bedivere, Sherlock gives off the same odor as Merlin. Character art also depicts him wearing a cape and smoking from a pipe, both of which are recurring elements from the original stories and in many later adaptations in film and television.

Assuming that he is born from stories, then the stories might not only be Doyle's novels, but also the pasticheWP works as well... or so the Chaldea employees discussed.

He often wears a city-appropriate blue suit with an unbuttoned white shirt, foregoing a tie and waistcoat, and is occasionally depicted with a deerstalker hat or a black top hat, depending on the context of the scene.

The Heroic Spirit Holmes, who resembles the men he was modeled after, such as Joseph Bell, Doyle himself, or the oldest detective in the world, Vidocq - he was summoned into this world as none of the above, but rather, as the protagonist of a series of novels (for his words and actions cannot be thought of those other than that of a protagonist's). In the end, was the story of Sherlock Holmes really a complete work of fiction penned by Sir Doyle, or was it the biography of the actual Holmes as written by Dr. John H. Watson? Perhaps it was somewhere in between the two? At the very least, Holmes himself should know the answer, but it's not a topic he brings up himself, and when the issue does come up in conversation, he always deftly evades the question. His greatest Nemesis was James Moriarty.

In fact, Sherlock Holmes is one of the seven Apostles of the Alien World. He was summoned in order to ensure Goetia's defeat, so that Goetia would not be able to prevent the Alien God's advent, and then afterwards to guide Chaldea to the Alien World's goals. Holmes erased his own memories of this because he knew that if he recovered his memories he would willingly work with the Alien World. To stop all this, Sherlock allowed himself to be killed by a young Moriarty, in order to protect the members of Chaldea from himself who he might betray anytime soon.

The world's greatest, most famous and sole consulting detective, the genuine father of all detectives. The crystallization of the concept of detectives, the representative of "the Revealers". The protagonist of the stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the 19th~20th centuries, and the detective that solved every mystery, and in the many mystery novels written after, he is one of the progenitors of "Detectives". Or so it is said. But is that really the truth?

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's novels were the memoirs of his companion and assistant, Dr. John Watson. Holmes works as a consulting detective in London and is famously based in a flat at 221B Baker Street. He has handled many requests, and has definitely gotten a fair share of serious cases from the London Metropolitan Police Department (Scotland Yard), some of which even involved the English government. He has a doctorates in medicine, economics and law and is a member of the Royal Society, and he is especially well-versed in pharmacy.

Holmes and Watson were investigating the death of Henry Jekyll. Holmes received a letter prior from his death, the letter explaining about his failed experiment and his Hyde persona. Holmes was convinced that the Clock Tower was involved with "The Incident of Jack the Ripper".

In 1891, after faking his death at Reichenbach Falls, Holmes went hiking in the Himalayas with Helena Blavatsky. They were pursued by assassins from the Mage's Association aiming for Helena, and though Holmes fought some of them off, Helena's last wish was that he not kill them. As Helena was dying in Holmes's arms, they saw a dazzling and otherworldly light in the sky that Holmes described as a "silver ship traversing the sea of stars" or a "transcendental master emissary".
