Valerius-1497 was a Mark XV Clockwork Cherub of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids and a member of the Department of Problem-Solving. He was later turned into a parakeet.
Description
Personality
Valerius was prone to outrageous hypotheses, but was more conservative in his actual expectations than the more optimistic Carter-1277. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving)
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 Valerius, Juliet-178, Carter-1277 and Edwin-750 — to develop solutions. When Pythe returned to Lab 5, the Problem-Solvers, following an idea developed by Valerius 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.
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 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
On April 19th, 2019, Valerius was one of the Cupids fruitlessly interviewed by the Blue Feather as possible suspects in the affair of the theft of a mailbag from the Cupid Post Office, simply because they had been glimpsed somewhere in the broad vicinity of the Post Office on that day. (PROSE: Acquaintanceship-982 and the Missing Mail Mystery)
Valerius was later turned into a parakeet by the goddess Aphrodite. (PROSE: Magic Trick)
Various elements within the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids subsequently worked on ways to turn him back, including Pestilence-301 and the Department of Wizardry, but none had been successful by 2021, especially as Valerius the Parakeet did not trust Pestilence and refused to try any of his potions.
The whole Department of Problem-Solving 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)
