history;;
Gregory William Lestrade was born on the 20th of June 1963 to Arthur Bernard Lestrade and Annabel Jane Lestrade Nee Roberts. Arthur Lestrade was a French soldier from the Second World War whom was evacuated from France during the Dunkirk evacuation. Arthur then met Annabel Roberts during his stay in England and in the end, he was in a relationship. After the war, Arthur stayed in England and married Annabel.  Greg's childhood was not very pleasant, the other children enjoyed making fun of his French heritage, his father was also a alcoholic due to the Second World War, while his father was not abusive, he was negligent. Greg's mother died while giving birth to Holly Jane Lestrade. Greg's father Arthur tended to ignore Holly even more than he ignored Greg due to his belief that his wife was killed due to Holly. Greg then took up the role as a parental figure to his sister.

Gregory had run in's with the law in his early years, until he finally straightened his act out and joined the military. Greg served in the military until he heard that his father was killed during a break in to their house. Gregory left the military soon after that, he swore revenge against the perpetrator of the crime, but he did not have access to police files. This was why he first joined the New Scotland Yard, he want information regarding the case. In the end the case was not solved, but it always stayed in Greg's mind.  Gregory was well liked by his co-workers, he was friendly and helpful, but at the same time efficient at his job. Greg's promotion to Detective Inspector came quickly but not as much of a surprise to most of his co-workers. Many of them were glad to see him get the promotion.

Gregory first met Sherlock Holmes during a murder investigation, he saw Sherlock looking around the crime scene and sneaking around. Greg thought that Sherlock was involved in the case and had him brought in for interrogation. It was during the interrogation, Sherlock deduced Lestrade's motivations and offered to help him solve his father's murder if he agrees to allow Sherlock to consult on future cases. Lestrade gave Sherlock's offer some consideration and agreed to show him the case files, at first he was simply playing along with a person whom he thought to be insane or a stalker, but in the end Lestrade was totally convinced in Sherlock. Sherlock's help was what was needed for Gregory to solve his father's murder, this then made Lestrade a staunch supporter of Sherlock Holmes, something most of the department found distasteful.

Lestrade was married to Sara Monroe and they have one child together. Annabel Monroe/Lestrade, born on March 8th 1996, Lestrade cares about his daughter and family, but his work tends to make him stay overtime, causing him to neglect his family at times. Lestrade obtained a divorce with his wife Sara after Sherlock revealed that Sara was having a affair. Lestrade and Sara retain joint custody over their daughter, but Lestrade admits that his ex-wife would be the better parent, thus he simply visits his daughter every week.

After Sherlock's death, Lestrade was briefly the laughing stock of the department and was under investigation, but soon after that he was cleared of any wrong doings and his faith in Sherlock was shown to be correct.
