In his natural form, Sherringford Holmes bore a strong resemblance to [[Sherlock Holmes|his brother Sherlock]], possessing the same aquiline face and demeanour, but his eyes were mild and brown like [[Mycroft Holmes|Mycroft]]'s. His hair was grey and close-cropped, and he was taller and thinner than either of his brothers. | In his natural form, Sherringford Holmes bore a strong resemblance to [[Sherlock Holmes|his brother Sherlock]], possessing the same aquiline face and demeanour, but his eyes were mild and brown like [[Mycroft Holmes|Mycroft]]'s.

As a follower of [[Azathoth (All-Consuming Fire)|Azathoth]], Sherringford was also branded with the [[Mark of Azathoth]] , which incited him to be [[transubstantiation|transubstantiated]] into a [[rakshassa]]. To facilitate his dealings with humans leading up to the completion of his plans, he held back most of the transformation, though he could not stop his hands becoming clawed, reddish and vein-riddled, forcing him to wear white gloves at all times. | As a follower of [[Azathoth (All-Consuming Fire)|Azathoth]], Sherringford was also branded with the [[Mark of Azathoth]] , which incited him to be [[transubstantiation|transubstantiated]] into a [[rakshassa]].

He eventually completed the transformation once he knew the cat to be out of the bag as far as Sherlock and the Doctor were concerned, becoming a large and indistinct-looking rakshassa, though he kept on his tattered, white ceremonial robes, unlike most rakshassi, who went unclothed.

As a follower of Azathoth, he was branded with the [[Mark of Azathoth]], beginning to mutate into a [[rakshassa]]. However, he held off his [[transubstantiation]] (despite his growing distaste for his lowly, "debased" human form) until it was no longer necessary for him to be able to pass for an ordinary human. | As a follower of Azathoth, he was branded with the [[Mark of Azathoth]], beginning to mutate into a [[rakshassa]].

In the guise of a mysterious hooded figure, Sherringford contacted the wealthy [[Baron Maupertuis]], entrusting him with the secret of the chant which would open up a gateway to Ry'leh, but claiming that his purpose was to have [[human]]ity conquer Ry'leh in the name of the [[British Empire]]. In truth, the army of low-lifes whom Maupertuis brought to Ry'leh was intended to distract the [[Shlangii (species)|Shlangii]] garrisons placed on Ry'leh as guards while Sherringford and the other [[rakshassa|rakshassi]] spirited Azathoth off to Earth unnoticed. | In the guise of a mysterious hooded figure, Sherringford contacted the wealthy [[Baron Maupertuis]], entrusting him with the secret of the chant which would open up a gateway to Ry'leh, but claiming that his purpose was to have [[human]]ity conquer Ry'leh in the name of the [[British Empire]].

Learning that his brother had been hired by the Pope to investigate the theft of the occult books from the Library of St John the Beheaded by Maupertuis, Sherringford had an interview with Sherlock and Mycroft, during which he also encountered [[John Watson]] for the first time; Sherlock had never told Watson of Sherringford's existence until that point. Sherringford introduced them to one of the Shlangii loyal to Azathoth, [[K'tcar'ch]], whom he had claim his species was native to Ry'leh and a race of peaceful philosophers threatened by Maupertuis's imperalist delusions of grandeur and warlike designs. | Learning that his brother had been hired by the Pope to investigate the theft of the occult books from the Library of St John the Beheaded by Maupertuis, Sherringford had an interview with Sherlock and Mycroft, during which he also encountered [[John Watson]] for the first time; Sherlock had never told Watson of Sherringford's existence until that point.

However, he revealed himself to Sherlock and Watson (now joined by the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Bernice Summerfield]] and [[Ace]]) once the investigators reached Azatoth's sanctum on Ry'leh, and, finally letting go of his human form, was present as a rakshassa when the Doctor confronted Azathoth, still acting as her second-in-command. To the Doctor's claim that this Azathoth was not the real Azathoth but an impostor of far lesser power, Sherringford angrily answered that he was simply clutching at straws of explanation. | However, he revealed himself to Sherlock and Watson (now joined by the [[Seventh Doctor]], [[Bernice Summerfield]] and [[Ace]]) once the investigators reached Azatoth's sanctum on Ry'leh, and, finally letting go of his human form, was present as a rakshassa when the Doctor confronted Azathoth, still acting as her second-in-command.

The Doctor and Ace then interfered with the dimension-ripping chant, causing Azathoth and the rakshassi to not be transported in [[India]] as they had intended, but rather in [[San Francisco]] on the day and place of the great earthquake. Sherringford realised that something had gone wrong but dared not disappoint his god, and so led the rakshassa charge forward anyway. Standing in the Palace Hotel's lobby where they had all materialised, Sherringford began to intone "My brothers…" before a large gout of flame blew in from the kitchen as the Hotel began to go up into flames. | The Doctor and Ace then interfered with the dimension-ripping chant, causing Azathoth and the rakshassi to not be transported in [[India]] as they had intended, but rather in [[San Francisco]] on the day and place of the great earthquake.
