Partial Biography
Sylvester Arinidi was born in Haldor, Dorvik on September 9th, 3268 to Lord and Lady Arinidi, leaders of the mobile House of Arinidi that, at that time, had made temporary home in Haldor. He was baptised on September 12th, 3268 in the Artanian Patriarchal Church as Lord Sylvester Arinidi, in honor of his great uncle, Sir Sylvester Roger Arinidi.

Sylvester was tutored privately from the time he could speak. He proved to be a quick study and, ever oppurtunive, his mother took advantage of this to turn her child into a wunderkind. It was around this time that his younger brother, Ronald Arinid, was born. When it was time for him to be educated, his parents found the best private school on Terra to send him to. He caught on quickly to every subject excluding mathematics, which proved to be his "Achilles' Heel", even though he earned superior marks in the honors math courses. A contributing factor to this difficulty was Lord Henry's death when Sylvester was 13. Lady Samantha held regency over the house and the buisness until Sylvester was 24 and completed his D.P.A. Getting past this weakness, he graduated 5th in his class and went on to the best university his name and his excellent marks could get him into.

During his early college career, Sylvester's mother wed him to Lillian Cole, of the wealthy House of Cole. The two produced one son, Lord Sylvester Arinidi II. Sadly, Lady Cole died shortly after childbirth and the child was raised by his grandparents until his father remarried.

He breezed through his college career with little difficulty in his double major of Government and International Relations. He graduated suma cum laude with a double bachelors in Government and International Relations. He went on to receive his masters from another prominent university.

While getting his masters degree, his mother set him up with Lady Anna Sinar, daugther of the influential, wealthy, and iconic Sinars of Davostag. Lady Anna's mother was an important singer/dancer and her father owned a men's suit designer label. The two clashed a bit at first, Lady Anna being more artsy and creative than Sylvester had ever imagined, but they began to meld and developed a close friendship that evolved into much more. The two married after the completion of his masters degree in Haldor, Dorvik in the Artanian Patriarchal Church. Lord Sylvester went on to earn his Doctorate of Public Administration.

Their first child, Lady Samantha Arinidi, was born a year after the marriage, followed by their twin daughters, Ladies Selene and Celeste, born in 3296 in Iglesia Mayor, Dranland. The children were given a relatively busy childhood, due to their father's blooming political career and their mother's fashion success.

Following the Arinidi family tradition, Sylvester uprooted his entire house and moved them to Beluzia in 3308. In 3310, his second son, Lord Christopher was born. The family then moved to Vanuku, where they found the government overly liberal and difficult to manage, so, following an explosive argument with the leadership, they moved to Telamon, where they through their support behind King Michael and the House of Kansar, proving to be an important power. Breaking tradition, Sylvester declared Telamon the permanent home of Arinidi to come, officially ending the transient heritage of the House. Like clockwork, his last child, Lady Theodora was born in Telamon.
