The Boxes, as depicted by an anonymous (and by now probably insane) Artist-Engineer.

The Boxes is an artificial intelligence and supervillain with no material representation, probably some form of transdimensional corporation.

The Boxes is widely believed to have formed a crime team with Anarchimedes.

The Boxes has a treaty with Gnotilus, the details of which are secret.

The treaty is thought (by whom?) to involve the Forbidden ratio.

The Boxes is averse to reading at night. This may be a weakness which enemies can exploit.
