Like in the original canon, Sherlock fakes his death and retires to Sussex where he is a beekeeper. In 1904, Mina Murray finds him and asks him to be the League's adviser but Sherlock rejects the offer. However, his older brother, Mycroft Holmes, was the director of the League called "M". The same goes with [[spoiler:Moriarty]] who was Mycroft's predecessor and has a descendent in the 1950's.
