== Biography == | |||
Archie Sylvest was a [[mathematician]] and taught at the University. He married [[Nimo Sylvest|Nimo]] and lived with her at [[25 Lydall Street]] with their twin sons: [[Romulus Sylvest|Romulus]] and [[Remus Sylvest|Remus]]. When his wife was away earning further [[doctorate]]s, Sylvest had a relationship with [[Vestal Smith]], a relationship that he attempted to convince [[Reginald Smith|her husband]] was platonic. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') | |||
In [[2310]], Professor Sylvest informed Romulus and Remus that their mother had left once again and worried about them playing [[equation]]s. When he discovered that they had been abducted, he alerted the [[Interplanetary Pursuit]] Squadron, who sent [[Hugo Lang|Lieutenant Hugo Lang]] to find them. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') He called them despite feeling that he would not mourn his sons were they to die, only fearing that their genius might be abused. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') | |||
== Personality == | |||
At the University, Professor Sylvest greatly enjoyed receiving respect from his colleagues and spending time with students. His favourite drink was [[Voxnic]]. He was frightened and confused by his sons and found it therapeutic to image killing them whilst attempting to [[comb]] his hair. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') He feared that his sons' genius could be used to alter reality. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (TV story)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') | |||
== Appearance == | |||
Professor Sylvest was tall with a grey, matted thatch of hair that resisted combing. He had a ruddy face and was, due to his heavy consumption of Voxnic, rather fat, which was "chic" in [[2310]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma (novelisation)|The Twin Dilemma]]'') | |||
