Personality
The Supreme Quaestor was a flamboyantly egotistical individual, who wore an extravagant hat, had as his home a luxury penthouse at the top of the Headquarters of his Institute, and generally acted superior. However, he was capable of taking good decisions, and Pythagoras-858 was willing to work with him or go on the assignments he sent him to. (PROSE: The Winter Quests) He was personally committed to the C.I.I.'s quest for “absolute knowledge”, and took umbrage at any suggestion that such an aim was not actually possible to achieve.

December 2021 affair
In late December 2021, the Supreme Quaestor called Pythagoras-858 to his office in the C.I.I. Headquarters to inform him that he was to meet the goddess Sigyn in Finland in the Prime Universe to discuss her granting ownership of something she was auctioning off (the venom of the Wyrm of Loki) to the Crew rather than one of its enemies. Uncharacteristically, he was brisk and business-like in giving Pythe and Juliet their mission details, simply glowering and handing them a written description of the mission.
