History
The elite members of the Clan as seen in the intro of Infiltrating the Airship, including the leader Reginald Copperbottom and his Right Hand Man.
The Toppat Clan is described as a group of international thieves. Its members are known for wearing top hats or other hats. They also choose a nickname, or obtain one from others, as implied by several members' bios.
Among their ranks, they have a wide variety of criminals, including thieves and burglars, former law enforcement, con artists, corrupt politicians, and even wizards and witches. Various portrait galleries and character bios seen in the games indicate the clan has been around for at the very least several decades.
They have various resources at their disposal, including their Airship, a Train, and a Secret Base in the Dogobogo Jungle. Infiltrating the Airship. They store all of their stolen possessions in large boxes in their airship's cargo hold. Apparently, they also keep a records library to store documents on their past activities. They are also somehow able to keep any incriminating details secure, such as the government was unable to legally demolish it.
In the clan's past, there was apparently a stretch of time called the "Party Era", which was fun until the clan went bankrupt. Randy Radman was the leader during this stretch of time.[1]
Government Supported Private Investigator
In this rank, Henry steals very important and incriminating documents from the Toppat Clan and escapes back to the helicopter. The Right Hand Man, Reginald Copperbottom and the rest of the Airship Division get arrested, excluding Wilhelm Krieghaus. Hatchman, Benjamin Bourseious, and Matthew Norbert are also not arrested due to being killed by Henry. This forces Sven Svensson to step up as leader, as no one else would, and continue with the Rocket plan.
Henry chases Reginald Copperbottom through the Airship, killing his Right Hand Man and eventually catching up to him. Reginald offers ownership of the clan to Henry in return for not handing him over to the Government. Henry refuses and exits the Airship, subsequently handing him to Captain Galeforce and earning himself a pardon. The Right Hand Man gets revived (possibly by Dr. Vinschpinsilstien) and becomes the leader.
If Henry decides to take Reginald's offer and becomes the leader, betraying the Government. Reginald gives up leadership and the Right Hand Man will be revived. Reginald resents Henry for taking the leadership from him, and aspires to overthrow him.
After Henry busts out of The Wall with his new friend Ellie Rose, he calls Charles to pick them up. Charles asks for their help to deal with the Toppat Clan's Orbital Station plans. Henry and Ellie go inside the rocket and hijack it, sending it to the Wall, leading to the arrest of every Toppat inside.
Flying away from the Wall, Henry and Charles land at the Government Military Base in the Dogobogo Jungle. Galeforce, who has been promoted to General, wants Henry's help to deal with the Toppats once again. Henry defeats Sven Svensson, the new leader, and locks the rocket, trapping every Toppat inside and allowing the Government arrest all of them. Henry enlists to the Military and becomes a special covert ops agent alongside Charles.
Due to Henry being declared dead in Presumed Dead, the Government doesn't call Henry for help during The Toppat Raid. Charles meets Henry at a Tavern in Canada during a failed mission to stop a Toppat operation and requests Henry's help to destroy the Toppat Orbital Station, as it is "starting to get personal" for him. They borrow a Government Prototype Spaceship and fly to space. Charles crashes into the Orbital Station, heavily damaging the core. Henry and Charles get in an escape pod but are attacked by Jacked Hughman, causing Charles to be left behind. As he looks for another way out, the Orbital Station explodes and Charles dies inside. Many Toppat clan members, including most of the high-ranking members, flee via escape pod while the rest are killed in the explosion.
After escaping the Wall with Charles, Galeforce prepares a team of bounty hunters to assist Henry in a mission to stop the Toppat launch. The team consists of John Pilksin, Gordon Banks, and Amelia Esteban. Their mission is to capture the Right Hand Man, who has been rebuilt as a cyborg. In an attempt at Suppressing Fire, the bounty hunters are killed by the Right Hand Man, but Henry manages to defeat the Right Hand Man, leading the majority of the Toppats to surrender. A small number of Toppats evade arrest, but not enough to be considered a considerable problem to the Government.
After the Toppat Orbital Station is launched, BCC News reports about the successful launch and the theft of the Norwegian Emerald by the Toppat Clan. Seeing the news report, Henry Stickmin flies to the Orbital station to steal the Emerald. He obtains the emerald and throws the Right Hand Man into space. Henry is fired at by Supreme Dominance, but he deflects it using the emerald, destroying the Orbital Station. Reginald’s escape pod hits Henry, causing the glass to break and Reginald to get thrown into space. Several other Toppats flee the destroyed orbital station via escape pod.
Henry and Ellie Rose arrive at the Toppat Launch Site and meet Reginald and the Right Hand Man. Shortly after their arrival, The Toppat Raid begins. Government pilot Liam Rogers attacks the control tower that the four are in. Henry kills Rogers and the soldiers arresting Reginald Copperbottom but loses the control of the helicopter. He falls below the rocket and steals an EMP held by a group of soldiers. Afterward, he lands near the Right Hand Man, who is surrounded by Government troops. They kill the soldiers and head towards the rocket where they are blocked by Major Hershell Panzer and his troops. Henry knocks out the Major, letting Ellie Rose and Right Hand Man reach the rocket while he is still on the ramp. He uses an Abandoned Tank to get up and gets into the rocket, leaving the Toppats largely successful, aside from a number of Toppats who were arrested during the raid. Ellie is enlisted into the Toppat clan as Right Hand Lady.
Henry overhears a duo of Government soldiers at a tavern and sneaks into a Transport Helicopter. He falls to the ground after entering the Government Military Base. He gets inside one of the tens, activating a giant tank named Big Boy. It causes huge distraction that attracts the attention of CCC Mobile Unit A113. A G.A.B.E.G.G. is sent, getting Big Boy and G.A.B.E.G.G. into a fight. Galeforce abandons the Toppat Raid and the Government retreats. Henry returns to the Toppats and is gladly expected back into leadership.
After escaping the Wall alongside Ellie Rose, Henry is on the run and looking to join the Toppat Clan. Dmitri Johannes Petrov and a group of Wall guards follow them to the jungle, aiming to capture them. Toppats, Government and The Wall, unknowing of who the other side is get in a battle as Ellie and Henry flee. They reach the bridge and are attacked by a tank, although Henry uses a Block and manages to get across. Inside the rocket, the Toppat leader and his right hand man find them, interrupted by Dmitri catching up. Charles fires a missile and asks for their help, leaving Henry and Ellie in the middle. If they decide to join Charles, they destroy the support beams and blow up the rocket, killing the Toppats inside.
If Ellie and Henry decide to help the Toppats, RHM fire at Charles' Helicopter and force him to retreat. Dmitri charges at Henry but is thrown from the rocket by Henry. Ellie and Henry join the Toppats with Henry returning the Romanian Ruby.
After being betrayed by Reginald, Henry is found and revived by Dr. Vinschpinsilstien who tells him about the way the Airship went. After a duel with the Right Hand Man, Henry blows up the cockpit and straps Reginald to the wall. Reginald shoots Henry and the Airship crashes into the Toppat Launch Site. Henry, Reginald and most of the Toppats die in the crash.
Henry overhears the conversation of Icepick and Snowcap about the Toppat Train. He takes his tank, busts in the train and kills Mr. Macbeth. Henry steals the money cart and floats away. The rocket launches anyways under Right Hand Man's command. After this events, the raid was unsuccessful, and toppats were able to launch the space station into orbit.
Henry overhears Icepick at the Tavern and gets on his scooter to storm the Launch Site. He rides onto the cockpit and takes control of the station, launching it into the orbit by himself. Henry turns the Orbital Station into a space hotel. The Toppats left on Earth, including Right Hand Man and Reginald, get arrested while the Toppats on the station convert into Stickmin Space Resort crew members.
After learning Henry has a tank, Ellie tells him about the Toppat Train. She gets in touch with her contacts and the duo raid the train. The train crashes, killing the passengers. They use a Fulton on the money cart but are anbushed by the Right Hand Man. They kill him and fly away with the cart. After these events, the raid was successful, and prevented the launch space station into orbit.
Henry hears the Code 12 Broadcast about the Toppat Clan's riches. He sneaks into the train and steals everything from the Orbital Station, driving away in his newly acquired car. The following day, Sven Svensson leads the Toppats into the rocket, only to find it empty. Meanwhile, Henry has decorated his residence with the loot. After this events, the raid was turned out to be a failure, as the toppats launched the space station into orbit an hour before it began.
The Right Hand man captures Henry in revenge for Reginald's arrest. Henry breaks out and is attacked by the Right Hand Man, making it outside the Station and running away on the solar panels. Henry sneaks into an escape pod and crashes through the Orbital Station, cutting it's power. The Toppats get stuck inside with no energy.
