George Burgess
George Burgess was a writer of indifferent ability whose primary claim to fame was as the putative biographer of Archimedes and Pythagoras Vavasor. However, he died before the project was complete and the current whereabouts of the unfinished manuscript are uncertain.

In actual fact, the manuscript was almost certainly destroyed in the briefcase explosion that concluded Tom Winscombe's successful bid to free Dorothy Chan from the Gretzky gang.
Burgess's demise was unusual in that he was stabbed through the neck with a mathematician's compass.

He was in fact murdered by Rufus Fairbanks during a botched attempt to steal the Vavasor papers.
