Birmingham, also known as CJ Muff, is a mysterious person who is mentioned multiple times throughout the 12 oz. Mouse series. Roostre explains that CJ was able to escape Q109, and he was one of his closest friends. He finally appears in "Farewell", as he is shown to be a glowing orb, resembling Archeus. His form before he escaped Q109 is unknown and never shown. CJ Muff would later speak on a monitor in "First 12", the first episode of Season 3, about him experiencing a bizarre dream. According to Roostre, CJ Muff's real name is actually Birmingham.
Relationships
Alliances & Friendships
His main alliance/friendship with Roostre seems to be unknown but he knows about him due to them being friends. Although, all of it remains unexplained. He met Liquor when he was set free in "Farewell" after Roostre's Hand was connected back to his body. Muff inquires where Fitz is, and tells Liquor that the asprind fields must be burned. Liquor knew about these fields. Muff claims that "they'll meet at the river", but will need Fitz. Buzby seems to know about Muff as well, even stating that he is his man.
Enemies
CJ Muff's enemies are implied to be Shark, the Rectangular Businessman, and Clock. In "First 12", the voice of CJ Muff on the monitor speaks about a certain shark appearing in a wild dream that he experienced, while Buzby was tied up by Clock in a Monitor Room.
