In the computer game "Discworld Noir", Malaclypse is a priest at the Temple of Small Gods who is devoted to the trickster-goddess Errata. Malaclypse is a little deranged and finds conspiracies everywhere.


Annotation

Malaclypse is also a priest of Eris (the Greek trickster-Goddess) in Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson's Illuminatus! trilogy of novels, where the Goddess is a central character. Owing to the intervention of the Goddess, Malaclypse has here been raised to a higher energy level and effectively made immortal. (She thought it would be fun and instructive to actually answer a prayer, once in a while. The immortal and transcendent Malaclypse is the result.) He is philosophically trying to make the best of the Goddess's gift, some three thousand years after he should have died at the siege of Troy.


Another crossover between Discworld, and Shea&Wilson's manic fantasy?
