Larrikin-1029
Larrikin-1029 was a member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids.
In December 2020, a few days before Christmas, Larrikin was one of the Cupids who attended Celebration-665's dramatic reading of a large leatherbound book the Crew had received as a gift, which later turned out to be Auteur's Abecedarium, despite Lord Thymon's warnings about the potential dangers. With the first line being "A is for Auteur, the skull man scribbling in his Spire", there were those in the audience who raised their eyebrows at the mention of skulls, though in Larrikin's case this was out of excitement rather than trepidation.

In 2022, Larrikin's shadow was briefly hijacked by Auteur, who had been summoned to the Cupid Homeworld and was passing from Cupid to Cupid in an effort to escape and return to the Third Universe. This resulted in Larrikin's shadow gaining a skull for the duration, with Larrikin being the only member of the Crew to notice this addition to their silhouette. He joyfully called out and attempted to follow it but Auteur was too quick and dashed away.
Later, Larrikin was one of those affected when Auteur brought life to all of the fiction contained within the Cupid Archives, becoming a "wicked troll". He was the "scourge of the forest" and his hijinks and deeds were "so constantly chorused". These deeds included theft, with the Sphinx protecting the city of Thebes from the likes of him. Herodotus-724 subsequently leveraged Auteur's spell to mark the Abecedarium which had summoned him with his "REJECTED from collection" stamp which, in the present state of affairs where everything in the Archives became true, expelled Auteur from the Homeworld and returned everyone to normal.
