Tracker-764, also known by the disparaging nickname of “the Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane”, was a Clockwork Cherub. Although he spent years in the Euclidean Plane, he eventually rejoined the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids in time to help confound Mandragora-257's final scheme, whereupon he was admitted into the Scarlet Wings.
Description
Physical appearance
As a Clockwork Cherub, Pythagoras was a small copper-coloured, winged, humanoid robot with a simplified, sketchy face and short hair. After his many years of adventures in the Euclidean Plane, his frame was visibly battered; his wings, in particular, were heavily damaged, clearly non-functional.

Personality
Tracker764 was a highly driven individual, having spent years by himself in the Euclidean Plane dragging a single elusive target for romanticisation (the Pulsaton nicknamed Doki Dick). Marksmanship-522 praised his resourcefulness in a crisis. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!)
Biography
Early in his life, Tracker-764 became obsessed with tracking down a Pulsaton in the Euclidean Plane, which he nicknamed Doki Dick. He earned himself the nickname of “Mad Cupid of the Euclidean Plane” among other Clockwork Cherubs. However, after a decade, he eventually returned to the Cupid Homeworld, (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!) bringing with him the robot CS-NA, whom he had liberated from a scrap merchant who treated him badly. (PROSE: The Winter Quests) After his return to the Crew, Tracker befriended Marksmanship-522 and Bibliophile-962. At some point after his return to the Crew, he was photographed in the Jungles of Antazoonia. He later claimed that he had “fought off cyborgs, static monsters, and Imperium agents”.
Together with Marksmanship, Bibliophile and the Hound, Tracker was one of the few Cupids left outside the Homeworld when travel to and from it was cut off by a Rift. The group ended up uncovering the source of the Rifts Crisis plaguing the Multiverse: the Consistency Imperium, assisted by another Cupid long thought dead, Mandragora-257. They were nearly killed by the explosion of Mandragora's Machine, but they were rescued at the last second by the Faction of the Fooling Fish in a stolen tachyonic sailing ship.
After being returned to the Homeworld, Tracker was accepted into the Crew's elite the Scarlet Wings on the recommendation of Marksmanship, who was already a senior member — albeit only after going through an accelerated period of training. The fact was recorded in The Cupid Courier. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!)
