'Real Life' History »
Robert Lutece is a London native. He grew up with his twin sister Rosalind. From and early age they had a fascination with science. Rosalind and Robert devoured books about physics. They were inseparable, and their love for science only paled to their devotion to each other.
When they graduated from Oxford with their PhDs in Quantum Physics (at the same time, naturally), they started up their own lab, tinkering with equation and burying themselves deeper and deeper in the strange, theoretical side of physics, rarely going out for anything other than necessities.
They're never seen apart, and are so close that they frequently finish each other's sentences and have long, rambling conversation about whatever comes to mind. They're considered quite odd but very smart by the scientist they collaborate with. Robert tends to be more optimistic than Rosalind, and when they disagree he tends to be right. He doesn't let this go to his head, and in return Rosalind doesn't let it bother her. After all, if they reach the correct conclusion it doesn't matter much who bet on it.
Along the way the duo picked up a lovely girl named Elizabeth. They were instantly smitten with her. She was so curious and intelligent, and they thought she'd make something of herself if given the opportunity. With that in mind they decided to make sure she had that opportunity.
When she came back from Paris with a child by her side the pair didn't even question it. They agreed to care for little Andrew while Elizabeth pursued her dream to be a doctor. After all, they had no romantic prospects, and no interest in children of their own, and this way they could nurture two minds instead of just one.

"Elizabeth is off to her first day as an intern." Robert noted as he helped clear the kitchen table. "She won't be home until later."
Rosalind pulled open the dishwasher and nodded. "Andrew is at daycare. We may get some work done, provided nothing falls apart this time."
"I said I was sorry. The instruction pages were stuck together." Robert noted with a small amount of annoyance.
"I accepted your apology, but it seemed too bold to say, 'we'll get work done'. Things do have a way of getting out of even our capable hands." She shrugged, but her tone was soothing. She wasn't trying to blame him.
"I think we will." Robert said confidently as he plunked a detergent pack into the washer. "We got work done when we still had Andrew all day."
"I hope his daycare isn't horrible." Rosalind said as she washed her hands and pulled on her labcoat.
"We checked into it very thoroughly, I'm sure it'll be fine." Robert put a hand on his sister's shoulder.
She nodded at him, squeezing his hand. "We'll see this afternoon when we go pick him up."
"This could be an enlightening experience for us, you know." Robert said, leading the way down the hall to get the lab door for Rosalind. "Einstein worked in a patent office before he was famous, perhaps caring for these two is our version of that."
"Or perhaps will prove a distraction, preventing us from reaching our own full potential." Rosalind countered, but more out of habit than any real malice. She liked Elizabeth and Andrew. They kept the place cheerful, and full of music.
"Perhaps nurturing Andrew is our full potential." Robert said.
Rosalind looked at him in shock. "You're not having. . . familial urges, are you?"
"No," he said quickly. "But look at how far we came from where we were. Perhaps we'll be the ones to inspire him to devote himself to something great at a young age, and we'll supply him with the means."
Rosalind mulled that over. "Yes, that could be true. He's certainly better with us than that lowlife that impregnated our dear Elizabeth."
"Yes, I imagine you're right." Robert said. He couldn't disagree with his sister's assessment of Booker DeWitt. Though he'd never bothered to date he was aware of the social norms of the thing, and what had happened between him and Elizabeth was distasteful.
Not only that, it was disgraceful, as far as Rosalind was concerned. A grown man should not sleep with a young, innocent girl and potentially rob her of her future. There was a special level of hell for Booker and men like him. "Let's focus on our work, that is far more to my taste right now."
