Lord Carnarvon, @, is the Archeologist quest leader. Like the students under his watch, he can tunnel through walls if he is given a pick-axe, though it is highly unlikely to be seen in practice.

A user has suggested improving this page or section as follows:

"Update stats, possibly strategy for 3.7.0 - quest leaders have been toughened since killing them no longer makes the game (completely) unwinnable."

dNetHack

In dNetHack, Lord Carnarvon is always generated with a blessed +7 pistol and 26-31 blessed +7 bullets. This is probably the only firearm most Archeologists will ever see (unless playing in a bones-rich environment); even so, it's not worth "liberating" from him, as the bullet supply is barely enough to train the skill to Basic, and there's no way bar wishing to obtain more.

Encyclopedia entry

Lord Carnarvon was a personality who could have been produced
nowhere but in England, a mixture of sportsman and collector,
gentleman and world traveler, a realist in action and a
romantic in feeling. ... In 1903 he went for the first time
to Egypt in search of a mild climate and while there visited
the excavation sites of several archaeological expeditions.
... In 1906 he began his own excavations.
