* [[The Spark]]: A fellow God-From-Light. The Spark was perhaps the Hour closest to understanding the Great Serpent, for whimsy follows inspiration, and the Great Serpent could never take to one task for long. Perhaps, in a younger and more peaceful age, the two Hours would chase each other about the Fansus in an almost-juvenile game of tag, one taken up for the joy of it. Or perhaps this is a pipe dream made up by inhaling too much of the Tail's venoms.
* [[The Ferryman]]: An old acquaintance. Revised the deal made between the Ferryman and humanity after the fact. Made it so that only the Dead as well as slain "immortals" could be collected by the spider, and that the Hours taking humans for eternal servants was not a violation that gave the Dolomedes the right to immediately collect all of humanity's end of the deal.
* [[The Staying-In-PassingDiagram]]: FNORD
* [[The Anaconda]]: The Great Serpent was a patron of the Anaconda from Long to Name. Its disappearance was what instigated the Anaconda's ascension to Hourhood. As a Name of the Great Serpent, the Anaconda enforced the rules which the Great Serpent had created and then forgotten about in its whimsy, as well as removing obstacles to the Great Serpent's whims.
* [[The Synapse]]: FNORD
* [[The Mendicant Without]]: The Great Serpent was long gone by the time the Mendicant arrived, and had it been there the Mendicant would not have been able to break the truce upon the Fourth History. Thus, these two Hours have never met.
* [[The Unmirror]]: Another seed of the curiosity which drove the Great Serpent into Nowhere for answers. Unlike the Void-in-Skins, the Unmirror abjectly horrified the Great Serpent. To wait for an eternity doing nothing is what the Great Serpent would have considered a special sort of hell, and it acted accordingly. While the Unmirror cannot die until it is forgotten, the Great Serpent made several attempts to destroy them before it learned of this.
* [[The Anvil]]: The Great Serpent gave the Anvil free reign in improving and building upon the Fansus, with the caveat that it had to be explorable later. Considering the Great Serpent's exploratory abilities, this was no challenge for that Hour. In return for its work, the Great Serpent gladly offered assistance or resources if asked.
* [[The Maker]]: The Maker held the same belief in perfection as the Apple-of-the-Eye, with none of what the Great Serpent perceived to be the Apple's redeeming features. That the Apple considered the Maker to be a treasured ally and the Anvil considered the Maker a friend were all that kept the Great Serpent from shunning it similarly to the Architeuthian.
* [[The Deceiver]]: Many Long and Names of the Great Serpent joined the Deceiver's Cabal, and the primary creators of the Deceiver were all formerly patronized by the Great Serpent. As the Great Serpent's oversight of its minions held as long as its attention did, the seeds of this Hour could well have been planted before the Segmenting, and the Great Serpent would have been blissfully unaware.
