Sherlock Holmes is a Ruler-class servant in the game, though by his own admission he should have been a Caster. He is first referenced in the fourth Singularity before appearing in the sixth, successfully solving the mystery behind the actions and behaviour of the BigBad. Afterwards, he is a steadfast ally to Chaldea, eventually serving as the technical advisor during the Lostbelt arc. When asked about the books featuring him - since Mash is a huge fan of them - he says that he and Watson asked Arthur Conan Doyle to write them as a character.source of extra income.
** The main ally and [[spoiler:DiabolicalMastermind]] of Pseudo-Singularity I is no other than [[spoiler:James Moriarty]], hatching an incredible plan that combined [[spoiler:MemoryGambit]], BatmanGambit and his own genius to [[spoiler:hatch a feasible plan to destroy the planet just to surpass Holmes]]. He had everyone played like a fiddle up until the last second. Holmes later admits that [[spoiler:he deliberately told Watson to downplay his conflict with Moriarty when passing information to Doyle in fear that Moriarty would become ''too'' infamous.]]
