Alpha Wolf
The Fly: Andre Delambre
For every successful "Mad Scientist" there are several failed ones. Most of them usually get killed by their own fool creations, or in their attempt to rule the world. Others are just inept and can't create anything worthwhile. Still others just have some very bad luck. Andre falls into that category.
Everyone knows the story, Andre was working on a teleportation device and when he tested it out a fly got in the thing with him and turned him into the big bug he is today. Contrary to what the movies say, there was NOT a fly buzzing around with his head on it after the accident! It was more like "remake" where his DNA combined with the fly's DNA, just one being, not two separate ones. (Though he did still have a big ol' grotesque fly head afterwards.) Needless to say his career as any kind of scientist was over, while his intelligence hadn't been reduced to that of a fly, it certainly lowered it from what it was, and tended to make him more focused on simpler things like eating. His marriage was over as well. (His wife got everything; a repulsive fly isn't too sympathetic)
While he did find a new life of sorts in horror after his accident, it was still limited. It's not like being a werewolf or vampire, they don't make multiple movies with rampaging fly people and it's not like he could "pass" for human for other roles. It wasn't just that though, the main problem was he was a disgusting disease carrying fly and nobody wanted to be around him! This of course made other jobs somewhat limited as well. His last hope was working in the "Sanitation Engineering" field, which he thought would be perfect, but the problem was he spent too much time eating garbage rather than picking it up. He was fired within the week. Eventually his money ran out and he became a bum which probably wasn't that bad for him, indeed he was more "free" now; ironic, since he started out from poverty and worked his way up from the gutter when he was a human and stated he'd never want to be poor ever again.
You always avoided him for the same reasons everyone else did. He was just nasty smelling and looking. Despite your obvious dislike for Andre it hasn't stopped him from all the times he's tried to borrow money from you.
