=== 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 (short story)|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 (short story)|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 (short story)|Good Crieff - The Tribulations of the Scottish Division]]'') | |||

Talbot was one of the candidates invited to a job interview at the [[Wales]] [[M.F.S. office]] in [[Universe (The Tribulations of Jenny Over-There)|one universe]] by [[The Man in Grey (925th Universe)|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 (short story)|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.
