Beast (The Mick of Time)

The Beast was an outcast of the Masters, exiled for its depraved perversions. Seeking revenge on its race, it set out across the cosmos in search of the errant slave Txffu Mpwfs. It engaged in psychic battle with the patrons of Callahan's Place and lost, preventing the eradication of life on Earth.
== Biography ==
=== Recording of the Filarii ===
After encountering a slave-scout, the Filarii opted to make contact with and try to educate the Masters rather than annihilate them. The Masters were not so kind, and recorded the entire Filarii species, save for Txffu Mpwfs, whom was given to the Master who would come to be known as the Beast. The sole survivor was converted into a powerful, weaponised cyborg that was sent out through the stars to wipe out civilisations. (PROSE: Callahan's Legacy)

* Uncleanliness: Its status as a pervert was well-known to members of its own race; this meant that no other Master would claim its territory or personal possessions, since by definition they were the property of a pervert. (PROSE: Callahan's Legacy)
==Physical Appearance==
In the opinion of Jake Stonebender, it resembled a cockroach about twice the size of the average specimen- assuming that the viewer didn't live in New York, in which case it would be standard fair for the Lower East Side (PROSE: The Mick of Time) at about a foot long. (PROSE: Callahan's Legacy) Stonebender considered its apparel to resemble a boiler suit (PROSE: The Mick of Time) or space suit. (PROSE: Callahan's Legacy)
