The | The first two Maroon Magpies were originally a pair of ordinary magpies, who were captured by [[Professor Scarper]] and his [[The Ancient One|robot assistant]] and mutated into anthropomorphic beings in order to be presented to Scarper's [[First Horde]] overseers as a proof-of-concept for Scarper's proposal of using mutated animals as operatives. The two magpies also received the names of [[Doctor Jeckle]] and [[Mr Heckle]] from Scarper, who was a noted enjoyer both of classic science-fiction novels and of classic cartoons. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Salamandyrs and the Automata (short story)|The Salamandyrs and the Automata]]'') | ||
Even after the Horde stopped funding Scarper's experiments, erasing all knowledge of themselves from him or them, Scarper's creations remained compelled to form [[Strangely-Colored Secret Society|Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]] of their own. The magpies followed this pattern, arranging themselves into the Mob of the Maroon Magbie, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies (short story)|The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies]]'') under the leadership of Doctor Jeckle and Mr Heckle. Their primary purpose was to steal and hoard miscellaneous items, a hobby which brought them great joy. | |||
Acquiring a H.Q., the Maroon Magpies accumulated a number of stolen properties over the decades, including “a surprising amount of cakes decorated with purple rabbit heads”. They also discovered the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]' “emergency supply warehouse” on the Prime Earth and raided it repeatedly, stealing a great supply of [[Cupid Arrow]]s. The Crew eventually caught on and ent the [[Scarlet Wings]] to investigate. The Scarlet Wings operatives were able to trail the Magpies back to their lair where, after a brief scuffle, they agreed to negotiate over a cup of tea. The Magpies offered to help the Cupids in their romanticising if the Cupids would let them keep stealing more Arrows, as well as store their increasingly large hoard in the [[Cupid Homeworld]]. | Acquiring a H.Q., the Maroon Magpies accumulated a number of stolen properties over the decades, including “a surprising amount of cakes decorated with purple rabbit heads”.
