Titles
- 1945 - Brought into existence by the God-Machine around the time of the Trinity nuclear test. Likely created towards the end of developing more advanced adding machines, computers, and the furtherance of technical mathematical knowledge.
- 1960-2015-Spent a great deal of time acting in angelic service as a human mathematician, eventually finding itself in a teaching role, moving around a handful of universities, ending up most recently at Washington University in St.Louis. In this Cover, prodded individuals toward or away from certain fields of study at the God-Machine's direction.
- 2015 - Fell after a particularly heated debate with a student in office hours. When faced with certain specific questions the God-Machine prodded the angel to give false information, which the student kept returning to reject (and prove, at least in math terms) as false, which repeatedly was to be explained away and dismissed. At a certain point in the ensuing exchanges, John fell. The events immediately following are a blur.
- 2015-2017- Continued to live as its Cover, looking over his shoulder, has gathered copious amounts of information about the region and analyses of his own recollections in the God-Machine. Time spent away from research was spent attempting to protect itself--and more importantly its findings--from the God-Machine.
