Mocked and teased and called by degrading nicknames for his childish demeanour, Turvey grew to hate the other young adults around him at university where he studied biochemistry, all the more so after a group of other students broke in to his room and "killed" his favourite teddy bear "Mr Cuddles", and he swore revenge upon every adult in the world. A travelling telepathic alien parasite, called the Tinghus, discovered Turvey and posed as the ghost of Mr. Cuddles, using Turvey's self-loathing and obsession to grow.
