Peking Homunculus
Construct from Dr. Who and the Talons of Weng-Chiang
On the streets of Victorian London, the Doctor and Lela encountered a series of mysterious dissapearances that lead them to a theatre and the magician Li H'sen Chang and a mysterious midget named Mr Sin.
The midget is not a normal human being, it is a creature called the Peking Homunculus, a devilish construct devised by Magnus Greel. It was operated by a series of magnetic circuits and a small computer with the cerebral cortex of a pig. The Homunculus needed a human operator, but the mental feedback was so intense that its swinish instincts became dominant. It hated humanity and reveled in carnage. It was supposed to be a toy for the children of the Commissioner of the Icelandic Alliance, but in reality it was an assassination weapon. The Homunculus massacred the Commissioner and his family, setting off World War VI and enabling the Supreme Alliance to take over Earth. After the Alliance had been overthrown, the Homunculus fled with Magnus Greel to 19th Century China. It then traveled to London where, under name of Mr. Sin, it became part of Li H'Sen Chang's magic act. The Homunculus' blood lust eventually caused it to turn against all humans, including Greel, whom he shot down with laser fire. It was then disconnected by the Doctor.
It is unknown what dark powers lurk in the shadows. Perhaps the dark powers have taken the disconnected homunculus into the mists and ressurected it with their evil power to plague the denizens of Ravenloft.
