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. One version of him became the leader of the M.F.S. Scottish Division in the 925th Universe.

Description

Physical appearance

A large, bipedal Great Dane (complete with a tail), Talbott habitually wore an indigo suit with crimson robes which “denoted his royal upbringing”. (PROSE: Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division)

Personality

Talbot was a proud, irritable individual, though one with a genuine appreciation of and loyalty to his chosen friends. He had a tendency to place the needs of dogs, even non-anthropomorphic ones, before those of other species. (PROSE: Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division)

Powers & abilities

Talbot's dog-like traits included colourblindness. However, he also had the ability to talk to normal, non-anthropomorphic dogs in “dog language”. (PROSE: Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division)

Biography

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. Scottish Division, alongside 0000-8888888 and Doctor Know-It-All. (PROSE: Open Sourcing)

He acted as leader for the group more often than he answered questions himself, and found the frequent absence of Doctor Know to be frustrating, despite the Hydrant's best efforts to keep his temper down. On one occasion, he insisted on trying to use Doctor Know's computer and quickly got frustrated by the unresponsive machine, to the point that Tetra got him to swap jobs with her, meaning that he ended up manning the Grey Intercepting Telecommunicator for once. He ended up striking up a conversation in “dog language” with the caller's pet dog instead of addressing the caller's inquiry. (PROSE: Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division)

Behind the scenes

Talbot Molossus was created on November 19th, 2013 by Rob Whelehan as an open-source character. He had his own variant of the Paragraph:
