OLD ask, but a fun one to revisit. AFTG fandom had fun with different symbolism interpretations, including numbers and chess, but Poe was understandably one of the first things we clocked.

AFTG contains a number of references to EAP, starting from the most obvious ones: 

the Edgar Allan university 

the Ravens (reference to EAP’s poem “The Raven”) 

Castle Evermore (“Evermore” being used by Poe both in The Raven and The Conqueror Worm) 

And continuing with other references that might be a little more obscure: 

Nathaniel Wesninski was born the same day as EAP, and “dies” in Baltimore just like EAP (Nathaniel is then reborn as Neil) 

EAP joined the army under false name, declaring to be older than he actually was. Similarly to someone else we also know 

The first pair in each bundle is a simple black, but as he goes through them, he finds the colors changing, colors matching his new uniforms, colors Andrew would never usually wear but was informed he’d have to during specific months of the year.

At the bottom of the box lay three pairs with a note labeling them “custom.” The first pair was all black, except for a small dagger on the insides of both wrists. The second set is similar in color, except when they catch the light, subtle color shines through. A stupid rainbow. The last set Andrew knows Neil must have had something to do with as they are bright orange and white, tiny little fox paws on the insides of both wrist.

There are two of each pair, thirty pairs total. At the bottom of the box is a note branded with Allison’s logo but also a tiny kangaroo, one that is also branded just above the elbow on every sleeve.

“First look at the new sports line. I call this one Rew.”
