Txffu Mpwfs was a Filarii scholar who survived the recording of his entire species by the genocidal extraterrestrial race known only as "the Masters". He was assigned to the Master who had overseen this and converted into a powerful weaponised cyborg, and dispatched to scour the cosmos for thousands of years. He sought out potentially dangerous life forms and exterminated them.
On one such mission he arrived on Earth, and found himself in Callahan's Place. Unable to stand the thought of killing the human race, Finn sought both counsel and comfort from the alcoholic beverages served and the patrons, who were sympathetic to his plight. After the patrons refused to kill him, he gave his name as Michael Finn. The bartender, Mike Callahan, understood this statement immediately and served him a mickey, leaving the cyborg incapacitated for the three days it would have been required for him to destroy the Earth in.
