Relationships

Lionwing

Cretan and Lionwing have a sexual relationship with one another.<ref name=7.5Crete/>

Cradle

Based on Tattletale's analysis Cretan is actually loyal to Cradle.<ref>“Cretan and Lionwing are there, but they aren’t stepping up,” Tattletale observed. “They’re sticking close to Cradle. Closer relationship. They’re actually loyal.” - Excerpt Heavens 12.8</ref>

Appearance

Outside of costume he generally keeps his head shaved.<ref name=7.5Crete>One face, a woman, strawberry blonde, with one tattooed arm. I could see the impression she’d left where she had slept on the edge of the bed, but had climbed off the bed on the opposite side.
[...]
I continued to walk around the room, studying the men. The other woman was too blurry to make out, her visits too fleeting. From the way one man danced around the door, he might have repeatedly gone out with her.

Dark hair, dark clothes, pale face, dark eyes or sunglasses, for her.

One man had a red hat, it looked like. The other was bald.
[...]
The woman’s image at the edge of the bed remained, while the rest of her disappeared.

There was another image of her on the bed. She was in the middle of coitus with the bald man.
[...]
The strawberry blonde with tattoos down her arm wore a cat mask and a bodysuit, as she leaned against the wall. The bald man wore war paint.
[...]
The images weren’t a snapshot. The woman and Kingdom Come had been captured sleeping. The bald man had tossed and turned too much to be captured at any one point while he slept, so the best resolution was when he’d sat eating. Even though the images froze in time, they were out of sync, each one at a different moment. - Excerpt from Torch 7.5</ref>

Wears white and black armor that is styled after a bull, but without any horns.<ref>Lionwing and Cretan were there. White and black armor, hers modeled with a griffon aesthetic, his modified with a bull, but no clear or obvious horns. - Excerpt from Interlude 11.c II</ref> Under the mask he wears war-paint.<ref name=7.5Crete/>

Abilities and Powers

Creates a labyrinth out of non-euclidean space.

He has been seen using his ability to twist a large amount of area, including several buildings, into a maze the size of a skyscraper.<ref>The fires had spread as a result of the shower of sparks from MYOSHA’s power. The fires, in turn, illuminated the rise of Cretan’s maze. Buildings folded and twisted, ground rose and fell, and the effect rose up skyscraper high around where Cretan no doubt was, with other areas catching up. - Excerpt Heavens 12.8</ref>

Trivia

• An example of how non-euclidean space would look like in real life.
• His ability to warp space; creating ad hoc labyrinths, along with his name is all a reference to Asterion. Commonly known as the Bull of Minos or Minotaur who Theseus is famous for murdering. This took place on Crete.
