APPEARANCE: Very put together. Looks like a very successful businessman or a mobster.His height and the way he carries himself can be rather intimidating. Archy has a very pronounced East End of London accent when he is relaxing or angered. If he concentrates he can sound a bit more like he comes from a higher echelon of society.


CLOTHING: Loves to dress well. Frequents tailors on Savile Row, particularly Huntsman & Sons.

BIOGRAPHY: Archy was born in London to working-class parents. he is the younger brother to Leonard Cole, who rose through the ranks as a crime boss, money launderer and real estate oligarch throughout London. The two used to run guns, gambling, and girls along with some other backstreet projects. The real money was, as Lenny liked to put it, "in bricks and mortar".

Archy did a four-year stint in HM Pentonville Prison for racketeering and money laundering charges and later found out that it was his own older brother who had sold him out. Archy was married to Phillipa Smith-Creasy, who divorced him while he was in prison.

PERSONALITY: Archy is very laid back. He still likes to move fast and get things done. He can seem like a rough character at times, he possesses a dry wit and believes in being a gentleman - until it is no longer possible for him to be one.

OTHER INFORMATION: Currently Archy is the manager for a number of rock and roll acts, including Johnny Quid and the Quidlickers and Caroline de Rochefort, a lovely French vocalist and musician. Archy took over management for Caroline after her former manager, Ian Summers, died in an explosion.


Archy is a work in progress. His personality and history is likely to change as we go along.

"You gave Ian life, and tragically he was taken from us. We commit him to You so that Heaven may receive him in Your peace and give him, through Jesus Christ our Lord, eternal life."

Archy shifted uncomfortably under his umbrella. He had long ago fallen away from the Church of England; and didn't see much need for it, really. Beside him standing beneath an umbrella just outside of the canvas pavilion that sheltered the family from the pouring rain was his nephew, Johnny Quid. At the front of the grave site was Ian's wife, Cloe and his mother, and brother. All of them looking pale and numb in the misted haze of inclement weather.( Read more... )
