One member of the [[Retconning Crocodile]]s once told [[Auteur]] that he thought the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]] were "inconsequential [[fool]]s", however that [[The Creator (Resurrection of the Author)|their Creator]] was a [[genius]], and when he put it into terms for Auteur, he said that the Creator was the equivalent of "a lovechild of [[Urizen]] and [[Nikola Tesla]]" if that child had then "pursued a double career in [[robotics]] and [[Biodata|biodata-manipulation]]".
