'''Copolymer''' is introduced as 'the greatest storyteller in the world', and patently is not. He tells [[Teppic]] the story of the [[Tsort|Tsortean War]], including such classic storytelling as "Wossname's armour shone like shining armour. Fight and a half, that fight. Between thingy, not the one with the limp, the one with red hair..."

Strangely enough, Copolymer's fellow [[Philosophers]] seem to hear his stories as the superb, ground-breaking epics they are undoubtedly intended as. This perception is not shared by [[Endos]], who had a faint glimmer of pain behind his eyes when [[Teppic]] mentioned how Endos must have Listened to Copolymer many times.
