Terrifying and deceptive, Buxton is a mutant half chocolate midge-fly half human who throws concoctions together and sells it as confectionary.
He first used his experiments on Yodalin as a ploy to entice people to buy his chocolate, but it turned out to be a ruthless plan to hatch a new family of giant midge flies, which ultimately failed.
Buxton was presumed dead, but a version of himself from an alternate reality lived on in a strange humanoid form and travelled back to the real timeline to work with the Clockmaker to kill Professor Paradox finally, ultimately succeeding.
After remaining in hiding, Buxton used his devices to find a human alter ego which he placed under a different name and used his chemistry and alchemy as a fabrication of his identity.
He then brought together Angus and Helen in Soho to bring vengeance to Professor Paradox once he learned he was brought back from the dead, but met his own sticky end by reverting back into his old body when Angus and Helen realised who he really was.
