The Fat Controller

Information about this character is based on TME Headcanon, though is loosely based on works by the Awdrys and Britt Allcroft.

Sir Topham Hatt, more commonly referred to as The Fat Controller, is the managing director and controller of Sodor Rail incorporated. When not getting enough money from directing the trains, he is also a leader for the Sudrian Mafia, a drug lord and a pirate, though this doesn't mean he's necessarily a bad guy, he just needs the money. He effectively plays the role of the villains' villain; for instance he temporarily joined the Fat Nasty Gentlemen's Club, of which Robotnik, Dr Octopus and Elmer Fudd are also members, only to report them to the authorities.
