Greg Lestrade

Greg Lestrade is the main tritagonist of the BBC crime drama series Sherlock, based on Inspector Lestrade from the classic series of detective novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. He is the Chief Inspector of Scotland Yard and often consults Sherlock Holmes to solve difficult cases. Despite finding Sherlock annoying at times because of his tendency to show off, he nonetheless puts up with him as he is well aware that he is far better at solving crimes than him or his team, though he is the only one who openly acknowledges it.

Lestrade respects Sherlock a great deal, and he is notably the only member of his team who Sherlock gets along, with the others (Sally Donovan, in particular) convinced that he's a psychopath. Moriarty has described him as one of Sherlock's only three friends in the world.

He is portrayed by Rupert Graves.
