Carter-1277 was a Mark XIII Clockwork Cherub of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids and a member of the Department of Problem-Solving. His specialty was archeology.
Description
Physical appearance
Carter-1277 had “stiff limbs” and his metallic skin was a brilliant golden colour, as was customary for Mark XIIIs. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
Personality
Carter was “an archaeologist through and through, never more interested than when the matter at hand was one of ancient history, long-dead kings and unsealed tombs”. He had a venerable air to him, belying his actual young age, which some attributed to him having “spent so much time with old things that it had rubbed off on him”. However, he was also quite talkative, and often acted as a spokesman for the other members of the Department of Problem-Solving when they made their reports to Pythagoras-858 on endeavours undertaken in his absence.
Biography
The Lord Thymon affair
In 2019, the Department of Impossible Things shuffled off the assignment of dealing with Lord Thymon to the Department of Problem-Solving. Pythagoras-858 left his Problem-Solvers — including Carter, Juliet-178, Edwin-750, Valerius-1497 — to develop solutions. When he returned to Lab 5, they had filled it with clocks, with the intent to summon Thymon, only for him to be frozen due to the short supply of time energy that would result. It fell to Carter to explain the plan to Pythagoras, with some help from Valerius.
Deeming the idea mad enough to have some chances of working on a conceptual entity like Thymon, Pythe allowed them to go forwards, threatening to detonate a Reality Bomb (retrieved from Cupid Storage by Carter) to lure Thymon to the Cupid Homeworld. After he was indeed summoned, Juliet ended up taking it upon herself to simply hit him with a Cupid Arrow, romanticising him and solving the issue decisively. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
Later developments
The group reminisced about some of their past cases together at the Christmas party organised in 2021 in the Cupid Homeworld by CS-NA. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
