Out of the three Knights members introduced in [[Layer 07]], he is the only one whose real name is never visible to the viewer in Layer 10. In ''[[Scenario Experiments Lain]]'', he is referred to both as "[[Wikipedia:Freeter|freeter]]" and as "apartment man."

=== Glasses reflection ===
 +
In [[Layer 07]], there is a scene in which the freeter is on his [[NAVI]], and text scrolling on the screen is visibly reflected off of his glasses. Much like the [[source code]] and other [[typographics | scrolling texts]] seen throughout the show, the text appears not to be strictly related to the events of the show. It seems to be some version of a 1998 [http://cryptome.org/jya/gak-fails.htm news story], about the failure of organizations in the American government to create a variety of [[wikipedia:key recovery|key recovery encription]]. The above link is likely not the same text that was used in the show, but their subject matter is the same.
