History
When the CCPC were put into use in 2048, all human police officers were required to resign. Some, such as Harry Pike were defiant and refused to hand over their job to cyborgs, only to be thrown out. The Department then sent Alistair Gryffen to the mansion for his work place. Because his agoraphobia kept him from leaving his home and lab facility, the Department delivered items of interest for him to examine. He was also aided in his work by his assistant, Darius Pike. Gryffen's main intention was to use the STM to find his lost family. (TV: The Last Precinct) Gryffen's primary contact with the Department was inspector June Turner.
2050
CCPCs chased the dissident known as Stark Reality, also known by his real name, Starkey, and Jorjie Turner, June's daughter, to Gryffen Manor where the two were able to hide. They saw Gryffen use the STM to try to find his family. He was close to doing so, but Starkey interfered; four Jixen warriors came through. They chased the humans through the mansion, eventually cornering Starkey and spraying him with tracking slime. Soon after, K9 Mark I came through and after a short battle, self-destructed. Darius arrived, shocked at what happened. He called the CCPCs, alerting them that Starkey was there, K9 then regenerated into a new form. When he left to complete his orientation protocol, Starkey was arrested. (TV: Regeneration)
A Korven from the year 2618 came through the STM and kidnapped Gryffen. He was later rescued by K9 and his team. Gryffen then offered K9 and Starkey a spare room. (TV: The Korven)
Someday the Sporraxx tried to access K9's memory core. They get to know about the planet Earth which was defended by K9 and his friends from the manor. (COMIC: Short Circuit)
