The Character
Mycroft is something of a mystery, not a huge amount is known about him.
Like Irene he is big part of the canon but only appeared in 2 of 60 stories "The Greek Interpreter" and "The Bruce Partington Plans" , though referred to in a few more.
He is 7 years Sherlock's Senior but it is known he is something of a human computer and holds an incredibly high position in the government, most polices that come out of British Law have first in some way been seen and advised by him.
As Sherlock puts it in "Mycroft sometimes IS the British government"
However despite this, he is also very, very, very lazy and has little interest in doing any physical detection work himself, he would in fact, go out of his way to disprove himself just so he wouldn't have to act.
