Biography[]

Percy came to the London and North Eastern Railway to help the line as a shunter in 1934. on his first day he got a important job, however Diesel made him have an accident, ruining his spirits. However, after being found innocent of the accident, he was practically begged to stay on Sodor by Mr. Star. Thomas then showed Percy every bit of the Ffarquhar Branch Line and When Percy wanted to see the Quarry Thomas took him there and met Clive. Thomas and Percy worked there all day, Thomas wanted to take the last load and Clive told Percy that he did a good job. but Thomas got into trouble with a police officer near the Quarry.

One day in 1958, Percy stopped at the airport and met a helicopter named Harold. He was on Sodor to do whatever needs to be done, claiming to be able to do everything better than land vehicles, saying railways are slow and out-of-date, which Percy disagreed to. He would later prove his worth with the post train and would accept Harold's apology afterwards. The two have remained firm friends after that.

In 1965, following Thomas' death, Percy was present to say his goodbye when his body was taken away, sadden by the lost of his best friend.

Persona[]

Percy is a rather cheeky, but kind engine, and generally behaves well, except when he is getting into mishaps from being over-eager. He loves teasing the other engines, whether it would be the midis, or especially the bigger engines of the nor'easters such as Gordon and James, but is always brought down to earth in due course by anyone who gives him the moral to learn, like the Fat Controller or Mr. Star.

Percy did develop a bit of a small rivalry with Harold stemming from when they first met, but the two of them are always willing to help each other when in trouble.
