Name: Gregory Lestrade
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Occupation: Detective Inspector of the London Yard
Background:
Greg always wanted to be a policeman, ever since he was just a boy chasing his three brothers around the tiny back garden behind his family's little house. His family weren't poor, but they weren't exactly well off either. The Lestrades got by on what they needed without wasting money on unnecessary luxuries. His parents divorced when he was 13, but they were and still are on amicable terms.
Greg got through school with good grades just over the average and a few close friends. He was likeable, popular, and played on the school football team. Girlfriends came and went (and one boyfriend briefly in university), until he finally joined the police force, achieving his life-long dream and joining his oldest brother Darren. Eventually Greg climbed through the ranks as his experience and dedication was noticed by higher powers, and was finally recruited at Scotland Yard in 2003.
Although the members of his team are skilled professionals (perhaps sometimes with the exception of Anderson), he soon learned that becoming involved with Sherlock Holmes was both a curse and a godsend. There would be far too many criminals wandering the streets of London if it wasn't for Sherlock, which leaves Greg both in awe of the man and also slightly frustrated. Things became gradually more bearable with the arrival of John Watson and the two men soon bonded, going out for drinks and venting about the strange detective that linked them. Later, Greg met Sherlock's brother Mycroft- well, in actuality he was 'kidnapped' in order to discuss matters of protecting Sherlock from the increasingly mysterious threat of a Jim Moriarty.
Greg was married with a daughter called Cara and a son named Ben, but the relationship with his wife gradually became uncomfortable and they divorced. Greg still sees his children every fortnight or so.
