Right Hand Man/History

A detailed chronological summary of the life of Right Hand Man.

Backstory
At some point, the Right Hand Man joined the Toppat Clan and became an elite member after Reginald Copperbottom overthrew the previous leader Terrence Suave. The Right Hand Man became good friends with Reginald, and also became one of the most loyal Toppat Clan members.

Relentless Bounty Hunter/Rapidly Promoted Executive
Charles Calvin launches Henry inside the Cannon Ball towards the Cockpit of the Airship. When the ball crashes into the cockpit, Reginald runs away while the Right Hand Man tries to hold Henry off.

Henry enters the warehouse behind the cockpit, as the Right Hand Man raises the alarm, announcing a "security alert" to the other Toppats to "keep a look out for a guy in a big plastic ball". Herb Stokes, a crane operator who is loading large pieces of coal and listening to the security message, sees Henry and prepares to crush him with the coal.

Henry manages to avoid Herb and pursues Reginald, though eventually the Right Hand Man catches up to him. Forced to fight the second-in-command, Henry has two ways to confront him. Both activate a boss-battle minigame with four options on its own. After his defeat, the Right Hand Man is never seen again for the rest of the route. The Toppats threatened Dr. Vinschpinsilstien to revive him later on.

Pure Blooded Thief
The Right Hand Man and Reginald are shown to have survived the Airship crash, and are looking on in shock at the battle between the Government and the Toppat Clan, being presumably killed in the Dark Energy Bomb/G.A.B.E.N./L. Cut Mk II. When the Center for Chaos Containment launches the prototype CD, The Right Hand Man notices Henry with the stolen ruby, but Reginald urges him to leave it behind and retreat for the sake of the Toppat Clan's longevity.

Government Supported Private Investigator
After being called over to the Storage Bay, Henry uses a force gun to push off two Toppat members out of the airship. The Right Hand Man, alerted to the commotion in the storage, finds Henry with the evidence and the force gun. Before the Right Hand Man could even do anything, Henry uses the force gun to propel himself to Charles' helicopter. Finding out that the Government was involved, the Right Hand Man expects trouble for the Toppat Clan.

Some time later, Henry is at home, and he tunes in to the news. A report reveals that Reginald Copperbottom and the Right Hand Man were arrested by the Government, along with hundreds of other Toppat members. Many more were able to escape, but the evidence now pins them to criminal charges. The Toppat Airship was subsequently seized.

Completing the Mission
The Right Hand Man plays a role in multiple pathways, either as an ally or an enemy of Henry, remaining as an accomplice of Reginald. His importance and screen-time are much greater than in Infiltrating the Airship.

In all pathways that use "Rapidly Promoted Executive" or "Relentless Bounty Hunter" as a starting point, the Right Hand Man was revived by Dr. Vinschpinsilstien and transformed into a powerful cyborg, now named Right Hand Man Reborn.

He does not appear in any route that begins with the "Government Supported Private Investigator" ending due to being imprisoned by the government.

In all pathways beginning with the "Relentless Bounty Hunter" ending, he is shown as the new leader of the Toppat Clan due to the incarceration of Reginald, with Sven Svensson as his second in command. He is noticeably more aggressive towards Henry in routes carrying off of this ending.

In all pathways with the "Pure Blooded Thief" ending, the Right Hand Man survives and reprises his role.

He is the primary antagonist of Free Man, Master Bounty Hunter, Little Nest Egg and Capital Gains.

Toppat King
After escaping The Wall, Henry and Ellie Rose head to the Toppat Launch Site. Impressed with what she's seeing, Ellie decides to ally with the Toppat Clan. Henry meets up with Reginald and his Right Hand Man in an air control tower, finding out that the former had taken up leadership in his absence, something Henry isn't all that content with.

Reginald informs Henry that the Clan went along with the plan to launch the Toppat Orbital Station into space. Their preparations are interrupted when the Government launches an assault on the launch site, prompting Reginald to send Ellie and the Right Hand Man to the rocket, while he and Henry stay behind to initiate the launch sequence.

Sometime later, Henry lands right next to the Right Hand Man as they are now surrounded by Government soldiers. The Right-Hand Man gives Henry his pistol, jumps high in the air, and then activates his laser eye directly on Henry to make him spin while the latter shoots, hitting all the surrounding soldiers.

From afar, an impressed Reginald witnesses Henry and the Right Hand Man's teamwork. With one minute to take off, Ellie catches up in a Government jeep and offers the two to hitch a quick ride toward the rocket. On the way up, Major Hershell Panzer (in a mech suit) and his platoon are blocking their path. Henry climbs on the hood of the jeep and punches Hershell in the face, knocking him out cold. However, this action causes Henry to fall out of the jeep while Ellie and the Right-Hand-Man make it to the rocket as it launches. Ellie pleads the two others to get Henry, in which Reginald promises her to keep the door open as long as he can. As the rocket is taking off without him, Henry is in shock and panics.

Henry climbs in the tank, drives upon a palm tree, and fires at the ground, launching himself up quickly to the rocket. The tank almost reaches to the rocket door, allowing Henry to dismount and barely make the jump. Reginald is able to catch Henry in time, but then floats the idea of betrayal to reclaim his position as Toppat Leader. Nonetheless, he brushes the notion aside due to the fact that Henry had placed himself on the line to defend the Toppat Clan from the Government. In that regard, Reginald is shown to have great respect for Henry and claims the latter worthy to be the leader of the Toppats.

The Toppat Orbital Station completes its journey into space. While a few Toppats members got left behind and arrested by the Government, their new space station allows the remaining clan members to raid any place on Earth with ease. Ellie is officially recruited into the Toppat Clan as Henry's Right Hand Lady, while Reginald and his Right Hand Man remain to be top operators of the clan, performing several successful operations.

Stickmin Space Resort
When Henry tries to steal the rocket, the Right Hand Man helps Reginald to try and stop Henry (although he doesn't recognize him). The Right Hand Man, in a last-ditch effort, fires a harpoon at the rocket to tether it to Earth and prevent it from launching into space. Using a sniper rifle, Henry takes aim at the harpoon's tether and successfully severs the connection, allowing the rocket to continue into space. He is nowhere to be seen after Henry successfully steals the rocket and turns the orbital space station into a resort, but since he wasn't in the rocket when it launched, it's safe to assume he was amongst the members of the clan who were arrested.

Little Nest Egg
The Right Hand Man is heard at the very end where the Clan is searching for the money cart stolen by Henry and calls it off due to prioritization on the satellite launch.

Master Bounty Hunter
Tapping into the Toppat's security feed, Gordon Banks locates the Right Hand Man in the warehouse and they begin to form a strategy to take him down. At the warehouse, the Right Hand Man and his adversaries are locked in a battle with Government soldiers already at the scene. Henry branches off to the left in an effort to flank the Right Hand Man, while Frog, Eel, and Turtle provide Henry with a distraction.

The Right Hand Man notices Henry, but before confronting him, he fires a blast at Frog, Eel, and Turtle, killing them. Claiming that he was going hunt Henry down after getting set up, the Right Hand Man gives Henry a chance to defend himself. Henry uses a low-effort combo to juggle the Right Hand Man repeatedly, eventually causing him to be knocked out.

The damage to the Right Hand Man's cybernetics causes him to faint and his cybernetics to shut down. Fellow Toppats on the bridge notice Henry with their leader, causing him to panic. Henry plays the Ocarina, summoning Charles to his position, allowing him to secure the Right Hand Man on behalf of the Government. After the credits his poster appear in the ending picture with a big red X on it.

Jewel Baron
With the Emerald, Henry makes his way to the Orion Lounge, but there he encounters the Right Hand Man and Wilhelm Krieghaus. The Right Hand Man recognizes Henry as the guy who stole their Ruby. Reginald orders him to finish Henry.

Henry yells at the Right Hand Man and Wilhelm, and the station's perimeter gives in to his tremendous sonic strength, knocking himself, Right Hand Man and Wilhelm into space.

Henry grabs the hat of the Right Hand Man and his oxygen mask, leaving him to die in the depths of space.

Free Man
Henry wakes up in a cell on board of the Toppat Orbital Station. He is greeted by the Right Hand Man, who is now a cyborg and in charge of the Toppat Clan since Henry got Reginald Copperbottom arrested during his mission aboard the Toppat Airship. He tells Henry how he personally had him captured because of what Henry did to Reginald, and mocks him for his predicament. However, Henry escapes by using a metal hat. Fredrick Muenster reports Henry's escape to the Right Hand Man, and informs him that Henry has locked himself in Armory-7. As Fredrick and two other Toppats, The Bookie and Chuck Wellington, gather around the door, Henry opens it and uses a retro light gun to kill the four Toppats with ease, and continues his escape.

Henry fights his way to the cafeteria, where the Right Hand Man awaits him. Henry is about to shoot, but the Right Hand Man throws Henry onto the floor and prepares to finish him. Henry summons the suit, which forms around his body. He blocks a punch from the Right Hand Man before he breaks through the cafeteria's glass window and flees into space, with the Right Hand Man following close behind.

The Right Hand Man tries to shoot Henry with his laser eye, while Henry runs down one of the station's solar panels. Henry uses the suit's gravity boots to break through the solar panel, shattering it. He then hides among the debris, as Burt Curtis warns the Right Hand Man about the damage. Henry spots three satellites nearby, as well as a way back to Earth. Henry leaps to the Right Satellite and enters the offsite drop pod. He then sets a course for Earth right through the station. With proximity alerts ringing all over the station, Burt warns the Right Hand Man about the imminent impact. He ineffectually attempts to stop Henry and is damaged, although he survives the collision. After regaining his senses, the Right Hand Man returns, only for Burt to announce that the impact took out the power core, cutting off all electricity and stranding all Toppats there. Burt then proceeds to ask the Right Hand Man on the prisoner's identity and why were they brought onto the station in the first place.

Revenged
Reginald orders the Right Hand Man to take out Henry, who is attempting to exact revenge for the former's betrayal. The two engage in a fight, which begins when Henry shifts his hand into a lance, while the Right Hand Man transmutes his hand into a colossal blade. The two engage in a blade battle in the cockpit, with the Right Hand Man initially gaining the upper hand before Henry uses his blade to pierce through the Right Hand Man's cybernetic eye. In the process, Henry's blade breaks. As the two of them are now on the roof of the airship, the Right Hand Man becomes enraged and prepares an energy ball to decimate Henry for good. Henry's "Big Blast" attack neutralizes the Right Hand Man's energy ball and creates a massive green energy sphere that scorches the Right Hand Man and the Airship. He is then reduced to ashes by Henry's kick.

Toppat Civil Warfare
The Right Hand Man is initially passive towards Henry when he returns from imprisonment in The Wall. After hearing Ellie's story of abandonment however, the Right Hand Man and Reginald immediately denounces Henry and deems him unfit to be the leader of the Toppat Clan, rallying his clanmates to the effort of overthrowing him from power. During the denouncement ceremony on the Airship, Henry tosses Reginald overboard, forcing the Right Hand Man to come down to rescue him. In the Deuces! choice, he and Reginald are killed when Henry's escape pod collides with them.

In The Good Gents fail, Henry and his followers breach into the cockpit to confront Reginald and Ellie, but a furious Right Hand Man uses his cybernetic eye to fire a laser at the gang, killing Henry and Geoffrey.

Pardoned Pals/Toppat Recruits
Henry and Ellie reach the rocket, and they encounter Reginald Copperbottom and the Right Hand Man. Reginald recognizes Henry as the man who stole the Romanian Ruby from them, but also acknowledges the two outlaws' skills. He then allows Henry and Ellie to join if Henry returns the said ruby. Then Dmitri and Grigori show up to demand Henry and Ellie to surrender. And to top it off, Charles arrives with his helicopter, sees Henry, and asks him to help take out the Toppats.

Henry and Ellie signal to the Toppat leaders, who toss them AK-47s, allowing them to kill Grigori and heavily wound Dmitri. The Right Hand Man uses his pistol to damage Charles' helicopter rotors, forcing him to retreat. Grigori is killed by the gunfire, but Dmitri is only wounded, still appearing alive with one eye open. While the rocket is launching into space, The Right Hand Man and Reginald vacate the area, while Dmitri regains his strength, giving him an opportunity to attack the two, and lunges at Ellie, knocking her out. Furious about his ruined reputation due to Henry's involvement with the riot back at The Wall, Dmitri attempts to kill Henry once and for all. Throwing a punch, Dmitri misses, creating an opening that allows Henry to throw the warden off the rocket and to his death. The rocket completes its journey into space. Henry and Ellie are officially recruited into the Toppat Clan on the promise of returning the Romanian Ruby. The Right Hand Man is seen attending their recruitment ceremony.

If Henry and Ellie choose to help the Government instead, the Right Hand Man and all the other Toppats are killed in the rocket explosion.

Capital Gains
At the launch site, the Right Hand Man, who is now a cyborg and in charge of the Toppat Clan, hears about the train crash and rushes off to the crash site. Meanwhile, as the train and all of the Toppats are taken care of, Henry and Ellie find the wrecked money cargo and wonder how to transport the loot inside of it. Henry and Ellie inflate the Fulton balloon that lifts the cargo up into the sky, with them on it. Henry and Ellie engage the Right Hand Man in physical combat, locking him into an inescapable combo before finishing with a "Stickmin Punch" from both Henry and Ellie. The energy released from the punches obliterates the Right Hand Man's body, leaving only his cybernetic legs intact. Now safe from the Toppats, Ellie transmutes the scrap legs into a rocket booster, allowing her and Henry to sail away with their payday as planned.

Toppat 4 Life
The Right Hand Man makes a cameo appearance at the end of the pathway, when Henry hijacks a Government tank and uses it to arrive at the Toppat Rocket. Upon arrival, Reginald inquiries Henry about his choice of transportation. Henry hands him a Government-issued walkie-talkie, which is still broadcasting orders to retreat from the General. Learning that Henry had single-handedly deterred the Government from launching an assault on the Toppats, Reginald praises Henry and declares that the future is bright for the Clan now that Henry is in charge.
