YHN is actually a reference to a number of things. I first read the term in "A Clockwork Orange" but I've also heard it in "The Rake's Song" and it brings to mind the "Narrator" from the book/movie "Fight Club."

One thing they all share in common is that they're all magnificent bastards. Furthermore, they are usually misunderstood and enigmatic. They have an undeniable charisma; their smile lowers your guard and yet leaves you wondering if you've just stepped onto a spider's web. In the case of "A Clockwork Orange," the term is used in conjunction with culture and class. (For as much of a bastard as he was, you've got to admit Alex had good taste.)

I didn't find this out until after I made it, but numerologically it adds up to 11/2, which is also my birth number. Besides the energy associated with the traits above, I wanted it to embody the main part of myself and so it turns out that it does a better job than I'd intended.
