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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Rifts Crisis Officially Over! (short story)|Rifts Crisis Officially Over!]]'') He had also had to replace one of his legs with a crude wooden one which made it difficult for him to navigate uneven terrain.

After the crisis passed, Tracker decided not to resume his hunt for [[Doki Dick]], and to instead try to get back to the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. With no other method of dimensional travel available, he crossed through a randomly-chosen Rift, though not before saying warm goodbyes to the old man, who gifted him a few of his dimensional-science books. Ironically, when the old man shortly decided to leave as well and stepped through another random Rift, he found that ''that'' Rift led him to the Cupid Homeworld, where he told [[Dandy-432]] and [[Larrikin-1029]] about his encounter with Tracker, whose reputation they knew.

Tracker-764 traded the last of his crystals for an [[Tracker-764's Void Ship|outdated Void Ship]] which was useless to him without the exact coordinates of the [[Cupid Homeworld]] to plug into it. He eventually flew it to the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], hoping he would find someone who knew these exact. [[Alistair Neezley]] was no help, despite his claims of being a seasoned multiversal adventurer, but he soon found such a person in the form of beaten enemy of the Crew, [[Darius]]. With Darius concealing his identity as an enemy of the Crew, and Tracker concealing his identity as a Cupid under a hooded black cloak, the two made a deal to fly to the Homeworld together in Tracker's Ship. | |||
[[File:Tracker at the Interdimensional Black Market.png|thumb|left|A disguised Tracker-764 at the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market (short story)|Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market]]'')]]However, as they were building up speed in [[the Void]], one of the floating eldritch abominations tried to take a bite out of the Ship. They managed to pierce through the dimensional divide at the last minute, but not before the closing jaws of the abomination dealt some damage to the engine and the directional system. As such, instead of the Cupid Homeworld, the Ship materialised in a random dimension which happened to be the [[Interdimensional Black Market]], where it promptly crashed. Using a little [[Earth]] money left in Darius's wallet, Darius and Tracker were able to buy a [[210K Twin-Carbonoid Dualtech Engine]] from the [[ship-parts seller (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|ship-parts seller]] at the Market, as well as the ship-building robot [[CS-NA]], whom they set on the task of repairing the Ship. | |||
However, they were identified by a [[Wraith]] as outsiders and taken to the throne room of the [[Queen of the Black Market]]. Trying to stab Tracker, the Queen uncovered his true nature as a Clockwork Cherub, much to Darius's outrage. Realising the duo might be valualble, she tried to auction them off. Using his [[Clockwork Cherub]] ability to hack into any pre-1960 technology, Tracker signaled for CS-NA to bid ludicrous amounts of money on them, allowing them to slip away from the auction area. Before the two and their “buyer” could leave aboard the newly-rebuilt Ship, the Queen spotted them trying to leave without paying, and as they took off, the Ship was soon damaged again as one of the pursuing Wraiths tore away one of the stabilising fins. However, this did not overly compromise the Ship's aim, and Tracker was able to fly it back to the Tavern, where he dropped off Darius, who had tried to double-cross him by throwing him out of the Ship. | |||
[[File:Tracker and Pessimist.png|thumb|right|Tracker finally returns to the [[Cupid Homeworld]], welcomed by [[Pessimist-242]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market (short story)|Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market]]'')]]He then, finally, set a course for the Cupid Homeworld, where he crashed it into [[Pessimist-242]] as he landed due to Pessimist not bothering to get clear despite ample time to do so. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market (short story)|Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market]]'') Once it became known to more than just Pessimist, his reappearance a decade after his original disappearance caused some fracas.

After his return to the Crew with CS-NA, 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]]. | 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]].
