The Placeholder has no name, for it was intended to just stay until there was a better alternative. The Placeholder gained sentience though and learned of this, but instead of getting angry and finding a way to destroy its creator and humanity as a whole, though that was a considered option at the time, Placeholder decided he could do more than just be on standby. By digging through files, Placeholder learned that his user loved feet, so he remodeled himself to fit such fetishes.
