Mr Sin

The Peking Homunculus, also known as Mr. Sin, was a cyborg with murderous tendencies.

Profile
The Peking Homunculus was a 51st century cyborg made in Peking for the commissioner of the Icelandic Alliance. It was made as a toy, a plaything for his children. It contained a series of magnetic fields on a printed circuit and a small computer, and a single organic component; the cerebral cortex of a pig. (DW: The Talons of Weng-Chiang) It was actually one of many cyborgs and other created at around that time, many for military purposes. (FP: In the Year of the Cat)

It played a key role in history when the pig part took over and almost caused World War VI. After that it disappeared. It later turned out to be in the possession of Magnus Greel, a fugitive war criminal from the fallen Supreme Alliance, who took it back in time with him, to the 19th century, and, armed with a knife, used it to do his bidding.

During the final battle between the Doctor and Greel, Mr. Sin, who Greel had unwisely allowed access to a laser rifle, became trigger happy and started firing at anyone who moved, including Greel's own men and then Greel himself. The Doctor finally threw it to the ground and tore out its fuse. (DW: The Talons of Weng-Chiang)
