The Fat Controller

The Fat Controller, also known as Sir Topham Hatt, is the manager of the railway on the Island of Sodor and a member of the band that made Butler Love.

About
The Fat Controller is the chain-smoking, drug dealing, ignorant, self-centred manager of the railway of the island of Sodor. It is unknown how he became the manager of Sodor as he doesn't have the means to do so, but he did it anyway. He does not approve of feelings. He has been reported having sex with trains, and is currently in a secret gay relationship with The Butler. The Fat Controller proposed in July 2010. Some say he's colour-blind as he once said he'd take away James' blue paint and have him painted red, even though he is red. More people say he's just stupid.

Early Life
In 1955, Sir Topham Hatt had his first twing of gay feelings, when he saw a purple Swinn bicycle with tassles and a pink basket. His parents, Dev and Dowager, began to notice something had changed with their child, and immediately forced him to watch porn. Each night, he had to watch at least five hours of porn, and he learned to hate his parents.

Later Life
Sir Topham Hatt started gaining a lot of weight while working as a director on the Island of Sodor. Some say he spent his salary all at once on food. By the time he was promoted to controller, he was quite fat and people teased him by calling him "the Fat Controller". He overheard this once and thought it was a compliment, hence he encouraged people to call him that from then on. He married Minger (more commonly known now as Lady Hatt) on July 11th 1968. Naturally, he ate the whole wedding cake including the little plastic bride and groom on top.

Knighthood
During a lapse of judgement in 1983, the Queen of England knighted The Fat Controller, though no-one knows why.

Inferiority Complex
The Fat Controller is known for his small stature and wider-than-tall frame. At 5 feet and 6 inches, he is easily dwarved by those around him: workmen, engine crews, his wife, the butler, etc... He is often seen chastitising his engines for getting into situations that are not directly their fault, and calling them "really useless engines". It is believed that does these things to conceal his own insecurities. Some say it's the all the "toast and cocaine" that clouds his judgement. Others say he just doesn't give a shit.

Debt
The Fat Controller is in a lot of debt, and owes literally billions of these to a consortium of loan sharks. He charged the purchase of all of the engines to his father's credit card when he was just 8 years old, which left his father (and eventually him) with a very large debt, which has gathered over 62 years of interest.

Death
The Fat Controller was killed after accidentally calling Daisy feeble, his final word before his demise was "bother". No official funeral was held do to a controversial law on Sodor that fat people can't have funerals. The law was probably made after undertakers were sick of carrying heavy coffins, yet there was no body to be carried in this case because he was completely vapourised. His grandson Stephen succeeded him as controller of the railway.
