Baker-954
Baker-954 was a Clockwork Cherub and member of the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids' Department of Baked Goods.
In December 2019, during his preparations for the Christmas-esque Festival of Giving, (PROSE: The Frost King's Treasure) Celebration-665 unexpectedly burst into the Department of Baked Goods' building and requested a batch of “holiday cookies”, explaining that they could be made of the same stuff as ordinary cookies but cut into specific shapes such as “trees, stars, deer, gingerbread men, that sort of thing”. With no frame of reference, Baker delivered realistic depictions of each shape, such as willow trees — his favourite — for the “trees” instead of Christmas trees, realistic deer and moose for “deer, (…) that sort of thing” instead of stylised flying reindeer, a realistic human silhouette for the “gingerbread man”, and a perfect circle to represent the true spherical appearance of stars, instead of a stylised pointy one. When Celebration began to criticise his choices, Baker protested that he's done his best based on what he'd been asked for, and instead of requesting a new batch, Celebration ended up accepting the cookies as they were.

He also prepared a Christmas pudding and a cranberry pie at the behest of Bibliophile-962, who sent Larrikin-1029 to collect them. (PROSE: Larrikin and the Christmas Pudding)
Later, Baker was one of the Cupids who submitted a question to The Cupid Courier's educational Q&A about the Rifts with Doctor Sigma. Baker asked why some Rifts worked as dimensional portals even as others blocked dimensional travel. Doctor Sigma later highlighted that this was the only reasonable question he'd received in the entire endeavour. (PROSE: Rifts Crisis Officially Over!)
