Profile
A tall brooding and quiet figure, most of the other Trainmasters are intimidated by Archibald. He's been a Trainmaster for the longest and chose all of the other Trainmasters. Despite the Trainmasters not really having a "leader" he is considered the most leaderly of them all. He never talks, but his presence alone demands respect.
Despite his stature and general scariness, he is known as the Trainmaster of Patience for a reason. He never complains about waits, and could wait an eternity for everything. Archibald is very respectful of other's situations, and is highly protective of his co-workers and the IRC itself.

- Archibald feels very cold to the touch, some think he's like a walking corpse. Alas, he's just built different.
- Despite disliking coffee, Archibald always drinks it to make sure he stays awake. Apparently he doesn't sleep that often.
- He's been around for the longest of all the Trainmasters, both in terms of age and in terms of how long he's been a Trainmaster.
- Oddly, he seems to know a lot about Unstable Dimensions. Some say he's travelled through one before it collapsed.
- He has clothes under the cloak, although there is no visual ref for that yet. At this moment in time it could be just about anything.
- That being said, he dislikes removing his cloak. Archibald gets cold very easily so he likes to be as warm as possible.
- Rarely shaves, but his facial hair doesn't grow fast at all. So it typically stays where it is.
- Never exaggerates his expressions, he's always vaguely neutral.
- Could wear anything under that cloak, but as long as the cloak stays he's fine.
Most of the other Trainmasters tend to avoid Archibiald unless it's for work-related reasons. Helena seems to be the only one to appraoch him casually. Although they do not appear to talk often, they are very close.
While Archibald rarely ever gets angry, his sternness is enough to throw off Tybalt. He tends to suddenly appear behind our temperant friend... completely spooking him. They're both tense... but in completely different ways.
Archibald doesn't understand why Fortuna seems so happy all the time. Maybe it's just him, but there really isn't anything spectacular in her life. She never gives him a straight answer when he asks, only advising that Archibald smile a bit more.
Archibald's true relationshiip to Twelve is unknown, but it is notable. Archibald is the only person Twelve will ever answer to. It is said that Archibald did something very important to Twelve, but nobody knows what exactly this something is.
While refusing to mention it, Archibald knows how much of a people-pleaser Felix is. But he also knows that Felix himself isn't fully prepared to face everything as a Trainmaster, so Archibald can feel a bit restrictive. Although this goes too far sometimes, to the point Felix notices and has to say something.
When things are going slow at the IRC, there's always the safety net of Jia Li doing some work. Archibald thinks that they're able to move on their own... but Jia Li really needs assistance sometimes and Archibald doesn't always give that.
Those who disrupt the IRC are considered threats to Archibald, and Stealer is no exception. He doesn't know why Stealer is the way he is, but he is ruthless when it comes to stopping him. Archibald won't risk anything with Stealer, as long as Stealer goes down he will be pleased.
