Biography
The Creator fashioned her Clockwork Cherubs in the broad likeness of the winged Greek deity Cupid as he existed in her Prime Universe, (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids) as the son of Aphrodite. (PROSE: Magic Trick) She soon discovered that Cupid's wingspan would not allow a non-supernatural being to fly, forcing her to develop anti-gravity circuits for her “Cupids” to replicate this feat. (PROSE: The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids)
One of Copper-Colored Cupid and “reverse-prophet” Nostradamus-066's prophecies referred to the Cupids as “those made in the image of the old god”, (PROSE: New Warehouse To Be Constructed In The Homeworld) and a later one, printed in Issue #1034 of The Cupid Courier, discussed “the Great Bird” creating “life anew from the metal of Cyprus” in the image of “the Old God”, which the Department of Interpretation soon realised was a direct account the creation of the Cupids themselves.

Cupid Fact File #1225 noted “the Old God Cupid” as one of the powerful concepts to which the Crew had associated itself, which served to innoculate it against metaphysical corruption by contagious, living ideas. (PROSE: Father Christmas)
