Bartleby-853

Bartleby-853 was a Mark IX Clockwork Cherub and the Prefect of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Department of Scrivening.

On the day of the faceless magician incident, he had been participating in the Cupid Parliament's protracted debate on whose responsibility it was to refill the ink in Stenographer-123, tersely replying that his Department “would prefer not to” when Technophile-963 suggested that it should be their responsibility. The argument was soon cut short by the onslaught of magic rabbits, which forced the Cupids to evacuate the Cupid Parliament building, with their destruction of the typewriter rendering the earlier fight moot anyway.
