Mycroft Holmes is the older brother of private investigator Sherlock Holmes and Eurus Holmes, and a brittanic government agent as well its innoffical head.
Spending his childhood in Musgrave Hall at the family house alongside his parents and his siblings Eurus and Sherlock, Mycroft had to manage early with the psychopathy of his sister and threat she posed for all, finaly testimoning of her imprisonment at Sherrinford island. Continuing to keep an eye on his brother for years, he eventually became an invaluable asset and a respected member of the British government, being regarded as its very embodiment. Due to the obssession of criminal genius Jim Moriarty for his brother, Mycroft was forced to help him with his fight, helping him to fake his death and destroy Moriarty operations before allowing him to return in London and resume his life. Time later however, Mycroft has witnessed Sherlock commiting the murder of businessman Charles Augustus Magnussen, finally choosing to let him stay in England for managing Moriarty's apparent return. Mycroft' past actions however backfired when the truth about Eurus' imprisonment and the death of Sherlock' childhood friend resurfaced, and they was forced to confront her at Sherrinford itself.
