Curriculum Vitae
Page last updated eight years, two months ago.
Dr. Elliot Chakarvarti is a theoretical anthropologist, philosopher, and sociologist who vanished from his home in late 3148. He completed his PhD in 3131 at Herschel University and taught undergraduate classes there for eleven years before his disappearance. A former teacher of Chakarvarti's at the Boz Academy of Sapient Science described him as "a thoughtful, chronic, and insistent overachiever." Faculty at Herschel University admit that he was often aggravating to work with, due to his perfectionism and meticulousness. Despite this, he earned praise from fellow academics for his publications; in particular, his 3134 work A Treatise on Ownership is considered the groundwork for rigorous methods of philosophical discussion about interstellar colonization, ownership, and occupation.
Since his sudden and unofficial leave of absence from the academic world eight years ago, Chakarvarti has found a higher-stakes, more lucrative career in crime. He specializes in the infiltration and ransacking of private collections, and uses a series of pseudonyms to sell stolen artifacts to museums and cultural preservation centers. Despite having committed over 500 acts of thievery, trespassing, looting, breaking and entering, trafficking, and identity fraud since his life on the run began, Chakarvarti has no arrest record and is presumed dead by the Intergalactic Bureau of Investigation. In Andromeda’s criminal underground, he is notorious, widely loathed, and known to be alive. There is a substantial reward on both sides for any information on his whereabouts.
Sightings of Chakarvarti have been reported, but not confirmed. He is often seen allegedly boarding a small spacecraft or in the company of a Bozian male tentatively identified as H. Edmund Baustaz, a veteran pilot of the Boz Airborne Military. Since the date of his disappearance, Chakarvarti has not returned to his home on Herschel University's campus.
