Bibliophile-962
Bibliophile-962 was a member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.
In December 2020, a few days before Christmas, Bibliophile emerged from the crowd after Celebration-665 finished his dramatic reading of a large leatherbound book the Crew had received as a gift which turned out to be Auteur's Abecedarium, ending with a warning to the reader for them to burn their history and save themselves from Auteur. Bibliophile took the book from the lectern and held it shut. He then headed for the Cupid Archives at pace, commenting that he would put the book in one of the restricted areas before anyone could do something rash such as attempt to read it again. This left Celebration and the other Cupids in stunned silence for a moment but Celebration was able to win back his audience with promises of cake at his place.

As promised, Bibliophile did indeed stash the Abecedarium on a shelf in a restricted section although he forgot to inform the Archives' custodian Herodotus-724. This had the effect of, two years later, Herodotus finding the unknown book and deciding to read it in order to record its contents, resulting in Auteur being summoned to the Homeworld.
