The Fat Controller

The Fat Controller is the controller of the North Western Railway, and a major character in Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends. He is also one of the two main protagonists of ''Big World! Big Adventures!''. He is the one responsible for giving all the engines their jobs and tell them what they're to do. He is quite a strict, stern, and very firm character that will remind the engines that he is in charge and he gives orders when some try to rebel against his authority. But overall, he is a fair, forgiving, wise and kind-hearted gentleman who loves his engines and is very proud of all of them and can always rely on them to be Really Useful.
