Reginald Copperbottom

Reginald Copperbottom ("Reg" for short, also known as the Toppat Leader and Chief by lesser Toppats), is the current leader of the Toppat Clan and a major antagonist in the Henry Stickmin series.

He was a Toppat of unknown rank until eventually dethroning Terrence Suave, and acquired his top hat and placed it on top of his (inspired by former Toppat leader Sir Wilford IV). As a leader, Reginald has led the clan and organized crimes throughout the world, and the Romanian Ruby and the Norwegian Emerald may or may not have been stolen during his leadership. Unlike the previous leader of the Toppat Clan, he genuinely wants the best for the clan, even if it means making some major sacrifices.

In most of his appearances, he is either the current leader of the Toppat Clan, or (in pathways following "Rapidly Promoted Executive") the second in command to Henry Stickmin (with the exception of Toppat Civil Warfare and Revenged, in which he retakes leadership and shortly dies).

Roles
Reginald appears as the main antagonist of Infiltrating the Airship, the tertiary antagonist of Fleeing the Complex, and the overall main antagonist of Completing the Mission.

In Infiltrating the Airship, he appears as the main antagonist of Relentless Bounty Hunter and Pure Blooded Thief, the unseen main antagonist of Government Supported Private Investigator, and the main antagonist turned deuteragonist of Rapidly Promoted Executive.

In Fleeing the Complex, he appears as the deuteragonist turned main antagonist of The Betrayed.

In Completing the Mission, he appears as the main antagonist of Jewel Baron, Stickmin Space Resort, and Revenged, the deuteragonist of Toppat King and Toppat 4 Life, the tritagonist of Toppat Recruits, the secondary antagonist of Toppat Civil Warfare and Pardoned Pals, and the unseen overarching antagonist of Free Man and Capital Gains.

Infiltrating the Airship
Reginald plays a large role in the "Rapidly Promoted Executive/Relentless Bounty Hunter" scenario, during which Henry pursues him across the airship.

When Henry gets into the airship with a Cannon Ball and gets past the Right Hand Man, he starts chasing Reginald through a series of rooms. After Henry defeats the Right Hand Man, he then catches Reginald in the ship's cargo bay and tries to arrest him. Reginald, in a last-ditch effort to not get arrested, surrenders the airship to him. Henry has to decide if he is going to arrest him, or accept the offer and become the new Toppat leader.

He also plays a role in the "Pure Blooded Thief" scenario, where he stops the Right Hand Man from attempting to kill Henry, who stole the Romanian Ruby. He orders a full retreat, as the Toppats were outnumbered by the Government and overwhelmed by the Center for Chaos Containment, leading him to deem any direct assault to be futile.

Finally, he briefly appears during the credits of the "Government Supported Private Investigator" scenario, where his arrest is shown on Henry's TV.

Fleeing the Complex
Reginald plays a large role in the The Betrayed scenario.

Upon escaping his prison cell, Henry calls upon the Toppat Clan to help him escape. Reginald answers and comes to his aid in the airship. He sends some of the clan's members to distract the guards in the cafeteria so Henry can escape. Henry tries using his scooter to reach the airship, but falls just short. Reginald grabs his hand and reveals his true intentions of betraying Henry and regaining control of the Toppat Clan. He then drops Henry into the ocean, killing him.

Completing the Mission
Reginald's relationship with Henry is dependent on the endings chosen from Infiltrating the Airship and Fleeing the Complex.

He does not appear in any route that begins with the "Government Supported Private Investigator" or "Relentless Bounty Hunter" endings, having been arrested and taken into custody, and is instead replaced by Sven Svensson or the Right Hand Man, respectively. However, In the Special BROvert Ops route, Reginald's portrait can be seen when Henry reaches the gallery.

He appears in every route that begins with the "Rapidly Promoted Executive" and "Pure Blooded Thief" ranks.

Toppat King
Reginald has come to be dependent on the new leader of the Toppat Clan, as exemplified when he waited for Henry to come save him from being arrested by the Government. He also shows a sense of comradery, leaving the rocket's door open for Henry and catching him when he fails to land on the rocket itself. However, he retains his mischievous side, floating the idea of betrayal while momentarily leaving Henry dangling off the rocket, although he prevents it from interfering with his sense of comradery.

Special BROvert Ops
He is never seen physically in this ending, although his portrait can be seen in the orbital station's main hall.
