Personality
The Supreme Quaestor was a flamboyantly egotistical individual, who wore an extravagant hat, had as his home a luxury penthouse at the top of the Headquarters of his Institute, and generally acted superior. However, he was capable of taking good decisions, and Pythagoras-858 was willing to work with him or go on the assignments he sent him to. (PROSE: The Winter Quests) He was personally committed to the C.I.I.'s quest for “absolute knowledge”, and took umbrage at any suggestion that such an aim was not actually possible to achieve.

2O19
In 2019, the Supreme Quaestor vetoed the Department of Entertainment's scheme of producing the animated series The Rainbow Adventures as the first piece of Copper-Colored Cupid media to lack any Clockwork Cherub characters; at his insistence, the project was only restarted when a secondary Cupid character was introduced to the cast.

December 2021 affair
In late December 2021, the Supreme Quaestor called Pythagoras-858 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 rather than one of its enemies. Uncharacteristically, he was brisk and business-like in giving Pythe and Juliet their mission details, simply glowering and handing them a written description of the mission.
