Mr. Midnight is a real life character from Andrew Blechman's 2008 book
Leisureville.

Leisureville is about retirement communities in the US but has the majority of its chapters on the Villages with a few on Arizona's Sun City for good measure.
"'Don’t you miss the real world?' he asks a former teacher named Mr. Midnight, whose main problem is having enough Viagra around to keep up with his social life. 'I don’t want the real world anymore,' he says. He just wants sex. 'Whatever happens now, you guys have to worry about it — it doesn’t affect me.' " From link.
