Man in the Moon

It has been postulated that the Ancients saw a face in the moon's disk, and that the 'Man in the Moon' appeared as a character in numerous legends and children's stories, often as a bogle to frighten them into obedience, but sometimes as a manifestation of the Raggedy Man in his role as secret ally.

Allegedly, in one of these tales, discovered in a section of the Archives containing little more than scraps (but subsequently lost), the Man in the Moon was a Great Criminal, whose punishment was to wander the sky forever, never to find a home.
