Possessing deductive powers exceeding even those of his younger brother, X
is nevertheless incapable of performing detective work similar to that of his
brother as he is unwilling to put in the physical effort necessary to bring cases
to their conclusions.
X is described in "The Greek Interpreter" as being "a much larger and stouter
man".
In "The Bruce-Partington Plans", the following description is given:
Heavily built and massive, there was a suggestion of uncouth physical inertia in
the figure, but above this unwieldy frame there was perched a head so
masterful in its brow, so alert in its steel-grey, deep-set eyes, so firm in its lips,
and so subtle in its play of expression, that after the first glance one forgot the
gross body and remembered only the dominant mind.
In short, He is described as having abilities of deduction and knowledge
exceeding even those of his brother, though their practical use is limited by his
poor physique and dislike of fieldwork.
His brother is very famous, put your detective skills into use to find the
answer.
