History
Imprisoned in the Prison of the Bull during the Commune, he was freed by the Time Bandits; his release broke the planar defenses and caused the Chronocide. He gave philosophical speeches on stellar revolution and Dostoevsky’s trains. He possibly died in the devastation. A wave of revolutions parallel to 1848–1870 followed.
Celeste refers to the light blue of the Argentine flag. The historical Blanqui’s Eternity by the Stars (1872) holds that the universe repeats infinitely.
The moon worm
In this cycle he has become a cosmic worm on the Moon repeating “Blanqui, Blanqui”, tied to the Dimensional Worm and reincarnation; after the rescue the worm probably immolated itself. It returns in Never 9-11 (MYM) as Blanqui, the moon worm (raised on the Moon’s far side, fed on ambrosia, sent back to about 1890 to mature for nearly three centuries and burst in the future).
