Questions about Planescape Torment and D&D

[Twellas]

So, I was playing Planescape Torment the other day, when I encountered a character by the name of "O" who had some... very interesting things to say regarding his own nature. All those things are heavily, HEAVILY implied to be true by the game.
So, the questions are these:
1) Do we know more about this guy? Is he a D&D character? There's literally nothing on him besides this interaction on the Torment wiki
2) Wouldn't this stuff have some major powerscaling/lore implications for the verse as a whole?

Do we know more about this guy?

He's just in one D&D canon game. So not really. Though that doesn't mean he doesn't fit the verse considering Planescape has multiple examples of similar stuff like that.

) Wouldn't this stuff have some major powerscaling/lore implications for the verse as a whole?

Not really. Things being metaphysical has been a thing on the wiki for a rather long period of time. Plus we already have a casual 2-A feat with a spoken words from the Ancient Brethren

Isn't "embodying mathematics, metaphysics, thoughts, concepts and reality" something that's massively above merely 2-A? Sould pretty blatantly 1-A to me, especially when located in a verse like D&D; and isn't there a way to scale it to the Lady of Pain and possibly The Nameless One?

Its limited to how large the cosmology is that it takes place in. The most you'll get from 2e is 2-A or Low 1-C depending on how you use Mystara. The higher dimensions are entirely cut off by a barrier no one can breach and the Far Realm is transcendent over those concepts.

Lady of Pain and possibly The Nameless One?

The latter is unable to damage O and the former never interacts with it.

Just to pop in, Qawsedf is correct, embodying a concept is only as impressive as the scale of the concept itself. In D&D, these are only provably Tier 2 or thereabouts. The Lady of Pain and friends are Low 1-C in their true forms anyways. Simply being a concept isn't 1-A- otherwise literally the most fodder demon would be 1-A for being a minor part of the greater concept.

If you're terribly interested in True Name stuff (it is indeed a concept outside of Planescape), 3.5e's Tome of Magic has a rather large section on it. True Name magic is very much on the haxier side of the spectrum if that's your cup of tea.
