Talbot Molossus was an alien ambassador resembling an anthropomorphic Great Dane. His assistant in all things was a robot known as the Hydrant, or “Fred” to his friend; though aware of the obvious joke about a dog and a fire hydrant, both considered it highly offensive whenever people brought it up in their presence.
Talbot was one of the candidates invited to a job interview at the Wales M.F.S. office in one universe by the Man in Grey. Despite some friction regarding the aforementioned fire-hydrant jokes, he and Fred ended up being included on the final roster of people whom the Man in Grey vetted to staff the new M.F.S. office in Scotland, alongside 0000-8888888 and Doctor Know-It-All.
