}}'''The Architeuthain''' ('''The Squid''', '''The Dweller in Depths''') is the Fifth Hour of the Fansus, created by Cyborg-Squid. He is a God-From-Blood. His aspects are [[Lantern]], [[Heart]] and [[Forge]]. His trot card number is 4, corresponding to that of The Emperor

His true form is that of a giant squid, but in order to dwell within the Mansus, he requires a simpler form. Therefore, his commonly-seen form is that of a figure dressed in contemporary scholarly fashion, torn and waterlogged in places, with shadows of tentacles lurking behind him.

The Architeuthian has influence over those who seek forbidden knowledge and he encourages his followers to push themselves to their limits, and those who succeed may be worthy to become Names.

The Squid dwells in the Aquarium, massive building filled with tanks of water in which float tomes of forgotten lore, somehow preserved. Various leavings and failed experiments of Hours also reside within, simultaneously trophies, prisoners, and exhibits. Some exhibits in The Aquarium include The Joined Ouroborines from the Fourth History, The Flesh Eaters from The Valley of Teeth, The Platyplode Plague from the Fourth History
