He usually wore a beige trench-coat and a brown hat with a green ribbon, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') once described as a “ worn, brownish, formless hat that might have been a 1930s fedora, a few environmental disasters ago”.

Pythagoras-858 was a highly driven individual, always remaining focused on whatever his current mission was, to the exclusion of his own interest. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids (comic story)|Jenny Everywhere Meets The Crew Of The Copper-Colored Cupids]]'') He once claimed that “everything he did” was always “pragmatic”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') He could be brusque, or even downright unpleasant, to people he suspected of deceit, though he was kind and respectful to those he trusted.

He had enough of an independent conscience to deplore the unethical aspects of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]]' ''modus operandi'', but not enough free will to rebel against his programming altogether; thus, he instead devoted all his time to preoccupations which were genuinely beneficial to everyone, including but not limited to the Crew, ''other'' than romanticising people.

([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') His best friend [[Juliet-178]] deemed him “one of the most noble and courageous [members of the Crew], and certainly one of the ones most liable to speak his mind to authority or even disobey programming”. | ||
Although greatly valuing his friendship with Juliet, Pythe was willing to sometimes keep secrets from her. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||

In December 2020, Pythe was tasked by the [[Cupid Parliament]] with acquiring toys from [[Madame Tarsa|the Interdimensional Toymaker]] so that the [[Cupid Homeworld]] could celebrate the winter holidays without needing to give [[Santa Claus]] a foothold in their world. He traveled to the [[Workshop of Madame Tarsa]] thanks to [[Pessimist's Fog Ship]], only to discover that Tarsa had been frozen in place by an unknown party. He then set off into the Multiverse to find the culprit, though not before sending [[Juliet-178]] and [[Arganthone-056]] to the Workshop to investigate possible ways to unfreeze Tarsa. | In December 2020, Pythe was tasked by the [[Cupid Parliament]] with acquiring toys from [[Madame Tarsa|the Interdimensional Toymaker]] so that the [[Cupid Homeworld]] could celebrate the winter holidays without needing to give [[Santa Claus]] a foothold in their world.

On April Fools' Day 2021, Pythe was called by [[Jenny Everywhere#Adventures with the Cupids|Jenny Everywhere]] after she'd encountered a member of the [[Faction of the Fooling Fish]] who'd been posing as her. Pythe flew his [[Fog Ship]] to the Fish's [[tachyonic sailing ship]] and talked the Fish's hired bodyguard, [[Lainya Vantrik]], into letting him see the Faction's higher-ups. They greeted him jovially as an old friend, and he was able to make them apologise for having gone overboard with some of their pranks this year in their rush to make the most of their newly-acquired interdimensional capabilities.

In Deecember 2021, the [[Supreme Quaestor]] called Pythe to his office in the [[C.I.I. Headquarters]] to inform him that he was to meet the goddess [[Sigyn]] in [[Finland]] in the [[Prime Universe]] to discuss her granting ownership of something she was auctioning off (the venom of the [[Wyrm of Loki]]) to the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids|Crew]] rather than one of its enemies. Pythe, anticipating that Sigyn might set the onto a mythical quest to prove their worth, took Juliet with him, although he refused, at first, to fully explain the nature of the assignment. After traipsing through the snowy woods for some time, they found a [[Rune Stone]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') | |||
