Description
Inspector George Lestrade serves at Scotland Yard. He is an adult man standing 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm), above average height, with short brown hair, blue eyes, and stubble on his chin.

Lestrade holds considerable professional respect for Sherlock Holmes. When confronted with a crime scene implicating Holmes as a murder suspect, he exhibits reluctance to arrest him. Firmly believing in Holmes' innocence, Lestrade takes the unconventional step of releasing him, enabling Holmes to pursue evidence that will clear his name and identify the true perpetrator. This decision reflects Lestrade's underlying trust in Holmes' character and deductive abilities, prioritizing justice over strict procedure.

Within Scotland Yard, Lestrade faces professional challenges. He harbors a persistent concern that his workload consists disproportionately of difficult cases. This situation stems partly from a prior incident where he claimed credit for deductions actually made by Sherlock Holmes, leading colleagues to overestimate his investigative capabilities.
