801

801 is the Consigliere of the The 800 Family.

Bio
Before being numbered, 801 was a numberless person wandering through NUM in search of work. He often engaged in petty criminal activity to supplement his income, as his status in society kept him from any kind of advancement anywhere. He was often caught by The Proclaimers and jailed several times.

Upon being numbered, he was immediately a member of The 800 Family, where his quick wit and strategic knowledge made his an excellent advisor to the Boss, 890. He was appointed Consigliere.

Shortly after, 801 discovered that 600 gang had put a hit out on his family members, and he vowed to stop them. Even after the 600's rebirth as The Sescent Society, he still harbors a grudge for this.

IRL
In real life u/PonyToast is Sam Swicegood, the founder of the r/NUM subreddit. He is a science fiction and fantasy author. He is also a web developer, designer, podcaster, and streamer, and owns a creative media company. He is married to the person assigned number 301.

Subreddit Founding
"'Everyone that joins the subreddit gets assigned a number the first time they post. The number is arbitrary. We then form discussions and cultures around the numbers. Is it evens versus odds? do Primes consider themselves above everyone else? Is lower number of digits somehow more respectable? WHO HAS NUMBER 69???'"

"— The original pitch for r/NUM by u/PonyToast on r/SubredditAdoption"

On January 14, u/PonyToast submitted a response on r/SubredditAdoption calling for new moderators of the abandoned subreddit r/num. This submission won the adoption with the most votes.

When the subreddit launched, Toast stayed up all night assigning numbers from The Number God in the suddenly-popular subreddit. He was able to get a bot running with the help of π from r/requestabot to automate this process in the next day.
