Sherlorc Holmes

Sherlorc Holmes, the half-orc detective and connoisseur of ancient religious artefacts, is a detective in Blackwater. He has gained a certain infamy around religious groups over the years that he's spent uncovering religious scandals and gathering previously thought to be lost artefacts of great religious value. Sherlorc’s razor-sharp intellect and methodical nature contrast with the rough stereotype many ascribe to half-orcs. While not lacking the ferocity of his orcish lineage, he is a man of logic, deduction, and deeply rooted in his love of history, particularly religious artifacts. He’s a connoisseur of ancient lore and a fierce believer in preserving sacred relics, not for their power, but for their historical and cultural value

Physical Description

Identifying Characteristics

Sherlorc Holmes is a towering figure, standing at 6’4” with the typical orcish frame—broad shoulders, strong jawline, and skin of a deep greenish hue. Despite his imposing build, his appearance is softened by a well-groomed beard peppered with gray, and the glint of wisdom behind his amber eyes.

Apparel & Accessories

Unlike many of his kin, Sherlorc prefers fine, yet practical clothing—suitable for both urban settings and rugged archaeological digs. His signature look includes a long coat, adorned with hidden pockets filled with vials, notes, and tools, and a sturdy leather satchel always at his side. While many mistake him for a brute at first glance, his intellect is unmatched in Arvendorith’s underworld of relic hunters and arcane detectives.

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Sherlorc’s expertise lies in his knowledge of religious artifacts—particularly those tied to the forgotten deities of Arvendorith. He has devoted years of study to understanding their historical and magical significance. His methods combine scholarly research with fieldwork, often getting his hands dirty in ancient ruins, dealing with undead guardians, and deciphering cryptic magical wards. His instincts for traps and hidden puzzles have saved his life more times than he cares to admit.
His investigative style relies heavily on logic, observation, and patience. He is rarely the first to leap into action but is always the one to solve the case. While some question his moral compass, as he often works in the morally gray areas of artifact retrieval, Sherlorc ultimately strives to protect ancient relics from falling into the wrong hands.
