One of the few Special Corp members not taken from the criminal fraternity, Professor Coypu is a boffin who had developed a Time Helix device permitting time travel as well as a portal to alternate realities. He also has a great deal of general scientific knowledge, and sent a copy of his mind with the Rat on his excursion to the 20th century to enable Jim to build a time helix and return to his native time.

    Coypu is rarely described, apart from having prominent buck teeth - a trait he shares with his namesake, the Coypu , or "nutria".

    He was a lot less physical in his capers than Jim but undertook robberies, always leaving as his calling card a picture of the bishop chess piece. He retired from robbery before Jim was born, focusing instead on computer crime, and Jim only learnt of his existence from a fellow prisoner while briefly in jail. Jim then contacted The Bishop by using his calling card in a robbery, however as a result The Bishop was forced out of retirement when he underestimated the Police's computer security systems after running a check on Jim himself.

    The Bishop eventually became Jim's mentor and taught him a great deal about their trade, as well as a code of ethics. As a parting gift he left Jim a note that he signed with his real name, although the name is not revealed to the reader. The Kekkonshiki , also known as "The Gray Men", are a human culture who initially prefer domination to coexistence.

    Their expertise lies in using technology to manipulate sentient minds, and they have manipulated both humans and aliens on a grand scale. Jim has experienced one of their techniques in which a gray man agent seemingly severs his hands with an axe; this was an illusion. The text can also be read to say that the second time he thwarted their plans was with the alien invasion so the third encounter also happened during The Stainless Steel Rat Wants You when Jim invaded their home planet. They live on a harsh, icy world; this existence forced them to eliminate all emotion from their culture.

    This society is also completely patriarchal, with women being treated as nothing more than property. During Jim's interactions with Hanasu - a disgraced Kekkonshiki council leader - he persuades them to reinterpret their teachings, and they embark on a more peaceful co-existence with the rest of humanity. James is sent 32, years into the past to , making events happen in and around 34, in the th century — although Professor Coypu also mentions that they are now using a different calendar to the Gregorian calendar.

    Specifics of the new calendar are never mentioned.

Designed by Greg Costikyan , the game involved the Rat infiltrating a space station under hostile control. Her screen name is often translated as Stainless Steel Mouse.
