Aeolus Cleanslate

Aeolus is pronounced "ay-OH-luss" but my friends call me "AE," as in "ay-EE". Aeolus \ae(o)-lus\ is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "variable, changeable". Latin form of Aiolos. Greek mythology: Aiolos was the god of the winds. In the 19th century, a brand of church organs was manufactured ... (more)

Origins

Although it appears customary to disclose one's origins among these pages, I fear that discretion must be the better part of valor and prevent me from doing so too elaborately in this case. Some may imagine that my recent return to these lands from exile abroad comes with its share of burdens, ... (more)

Archivist

The Archivist is the keeper of New Babbage records and information resources. Imagine a patent clerk.

Arconus Arkright's picture
Arconus Arkright

Call me "Arkright." No "Mr." just "Arkright" will do.

A humble student, a teetotaler (mostly), an inveterate dilettante, a fan of physical culture, a shameless "Wilde Childe" and an unrepentant libertine. Not bad at maths.

Origins
