History

Gnotilus has a long-standing grudge against the Parthenon.

Gnotilus is the founder and first citizen of the independent kingdom of Abalonia.

Gnotilus has posted a bounty for the Bathysquare, dead or alive.

Gnotilus is keenly aware of the phenomenon of Geometrical frustration.

Gnotilus is known for slipping and falling on spin ice in a public and comical manner.

Gnotilus often uses Gelatinous cubes as cheap, disposable soldiers. This has unpleasant side-effects, including nausea and vomiting, because Gnotilus has a deep psychological aversion to all things cubical.

Gnotilus grew up with The Unruly Submarine, and still enjoys reading it from time to time.
