Arlington & Alinson

Professor Arlington and Alinson are the people who call Tyson in to guest lecture at Cambridge University.
Professor Arlington is one of the professors in the mathematics department. He helped teach Tyson when he attended the university and, prior to that, knew Tyson through his father, when he visited the Delaney Family Manor for one of the late John Delaney’s garden parties. Towards the end of those gatherings when Tyson’s social anxieties were flaring up, Professor Arlington used to distract Tyson by playing a game of chess against him. Now every time Tyson comes to Cambridge to guest lecture, it has become a tradition that the pair play at least one game of chess against each other.
Professor Arlington is a skinny, tall man who’s hair is grey-white and balding on top. His back and shoulders are usually hunched, after years bent over a desk, but his kind smile fills up his entire face. Ink from fountain pens almost always covers his pale hands. Years of laughter crinkle around brown eyes, behind his half moon spectacles; which Tyson suspects may still be the same pair he wore back when Tyson attended Cambridge
Until they were introduced by Tyson’s former military-history professor after one of Tyson’s guest lectures, Professor Alinson and Tyson had never met. Professor Alinson is head of the economics department. They struck up a strong rapport over a shared love of numbers and dogs. When visiting Cambridge, either to guest lecture or to visit Jasmine, Tyson makes sure to share a coffee with the quick-witted Professor and his overly affectionate brown poodle.
Professor Alinson is a Hispanic man with a thick, heavy Arizona accent. He keeps his head shaved, but has a goatee throughout most of the year, letting it grow out into a short, curly brown beard during the winter months. He is a large man with a laugh that fills any lecture hall. His left hand was amputate following a childhood accident. It’s not uncommon to find the Professor writing at his desk, with his removed prosthetic working as a paperweight.
Alinson’s poodle is called Riker, after the Star Trek character, and Arlington keeps Koi fish in his garden. Riker is rather determined to catch one of Arlington’s Koi fish, but finds himself thwarted by the fact that he’s terrified of the water jet in the middle of the pond and thus cannot go anywhere near when it’s running.
