Guildkeeper Lyell was the client initially responsible for the creation of the Deus Formula. Seeking a way to evade death from old age, Lyell contacted the Doctor, having heard of her through records of the University of Cambridge and offered her a generous sum of money to devise a way for her to fool death. The Doctor delivered.

Everything we know about Lyell has been told to the Doctor by Lyell herself, so it might be a skewed perspective. From what the Doctor understood, Lyell was born grew up on Planet Cambridge to a man that was "so rich it was almost vulgar". Though her father, the expectations for her career were rather high and so it is no wonder that she became the cunning woman she is today. Lyell told the Doctor nothing about her family, likely because Lyell is the kind of person that does not rightly care for senseless prattle.

During her stay on Durban of about a two months — the time it took to devise the prototype of the Deus Formula — the Doctor got the distinct impression that Lyell exerted a kind of influence over the other Guildkeepers that was not rightly tangible. Lyell seemed to command a kind of respect that either came naturally to those around her or was merely the Doctor's vivid imagination. Lyell also is the oldest and longest-serving Guildkeeper of the Core to date. She did not tell the Doctor why she had not tried for the position of Guildmistress herself, even when asked, only stating that those who took it usually did not last too long.















Constitution:


Cordelia Lyell is a relatively short woman with a good posture and health for her age. During her stay on Durban, the Doctor was given Lyell's medical records since they were pertinent to the creation of the Deus Formula. According to them, Lyell had been repeatedly treated for several age-related issues with the joints. In addition, Lyell had been given a liver transplant only two years ago, the old one having developed a tumor. Since then, Lyell has been relying on receiving a recurring treatment in the form of liver dialysis, since her body did not rightly accept the new organ as it did the old.

Given that, it is no wonder that Lyell has been entreating the Doctor for a way to prevent natural aging, since this would only aggravate the condition she is in. Nevertheless, the Doctor was only tasked with the completion of the Formula and not with looking for a way to fix Lyell's other health problems. Given that, she did not try.
