Archimedes Von Ahnerabe

Archimedes Von Ahnerabe was a notable cyborg from the 10,000 Dawns who was good friends with Graelyn Scythes, and, like her, a one-time companion of Lady Aesculapius as well as an agent of Dawn. He had a solid metal head, with a single eye drawn on for artistic effect.

Origins
Archimedes was raised on a space-station in the middle of nowhere, whose leaders "lied to all the inhabitants and told them that the world outside didn't exist". (PROSE: Rachel Survived)

Early adventures
Archimedes and Graelyn Scythes once went on a mission for Dawn to a moon chasing something and Archimedes was taken, leading Graelyn to rescue him from the past by infiltrating a World War II special operations mission. (PROSE: White Canvas)

Travels with Lady Aesculapius
Graelyn and Arch also travelled with Lady Aesculapius for a time (PROSE: White Canvas, Life After Death) in her Factory of Crystal. During this period, they once visited Rogeria City on the planet Mercury, where Graelyn bought a cheap Sherlock Holmes Halloween costume. When she eventually parted ways with Aesc, she left the costume behind in the Factory. (PROSE: Life After Death)

Involvement with the Totality
On behalf of Dawn, Graelyn Scythes and Archimedes Von Ahnerabe were sent to follow the Arbiter of Knives to the Totality to prevent her from starting a war between the Firmament and the rulers of that universe. The Arbiter was trying to get the Book of Books, which was being held at the New York Public Library alongside a cache of books about the War from the 10,000 Dawns. By coincidence, the actual Rachel Edwards, who was a real being in this world instead of a fictional character, was one of the journalists doing a story about the Books, which were believed to be a rare find from the 18th century by the human authoritie. Thus, to disguise her presence, the Arbiter had bribed a member of the local cosmic authorities to overlook any strange events surrounding Rachel for the next few days.

She and Archimedes thus prevented Rachel from being abducted first by the Arbiter, then by the Strid, an alien species native to the war's universe who were trying to take advantage of the situation. After a few brief encounters, they finally decided to explain the situation to her, with Archimedes generating a holographic play entitled Why We Need This Book to get the facts across quickly. Eventually, events came to a head in the room in the Library where the books were being kept, with the Strid having taken the book before anyone and trying to auction it off between the three Dawns powers represented. Graelyn and Arch refused to negotiate with the Strid, merely demanding that they release the stash unilaterally. In the end, the action became moot when Rachel, inspired by Graelyn telling her how much she'd meant to her as a fictional character, managed to turn the situation to her advantage and peacefully recover the book. After sharing fond goodbyes with Rachel, the two visitors left the Totality again by throwing dust on a wall to create a glowing, temporary portal. (PROSE: Rachel Survived)

Arch was turned to fiction during Auteur's attack on the 10,000 Dawns. (PROSE: White Canvas)

The funeral of Lady Aesculapius
After one of her incarnations was murdered by an unknown party using a booby-trapped parcel, Lady Aesculapius, reborn in a new body, chose to keep her survival a secret in order to find out who had sent the parcel, and organised a lavish funeral for herself in the Factory, inviting everyone she knew. Graelyn and Arch were among the first names she scribbled down on her list. There, while waiting for the service to start, Archimedes made small talk with another former companion of Aesculapius's, Blanche Combine. After Aesculapius made her deductions about her murder public, Graelyn and Arch stopped the killer, Meistras, from slipping away quietly. (PROSE: Life After Death)
