King George (SFS character)

King George was a GWR engine who bullied Percy on the GWR.

Biography
King George built in 1937 and from that year to 1939, he bullied Percy along with Barney. In 1939, he was sent to the Island of Sodor to help with work in the harbour. He secretly bullied Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James and the other NWR engines, boasting that he might be the new Number #6. He then bullied Percy when he came to the NWR just because Percy was given the #6, since he was already numbered #6. He then pushed Percy into the stationmaster's house on one November night in 1948. Because of this, Thomas told Sir Topham Hatt I, who sent King George to the Sodor Scrapyard where his fate was being scrapped.

Personality
King George was named after King George of England. Like Godred, this probably made him arrogant. He was being a horrid bully making fun of Percy for being cheeky and mischievous. He used several insults to Percy like "pipsqueak", "stubby", etc. While talking with Barney, he said that they might put a sign on Percy saying, "Keep away! This engine may bite!" After being sent to the Scrapyard in 1948 by Sir Topham Hatt, he called Sir Topham Hatt a son of a b***h.

Basis
King George was based on the Peckett and Sons 0-4-0ST tank engine, similar to Bill and Ben.

Trivia

 * George Ignatchenko never liked King George because of his hatred towards Percy in other T&F fans' series, for example, NWR Origins Episode X: Little Green Menace and Sodor at War Episode 4: New Beginnings, so that's why he killed King George off (GOOD RIDDANCE!)
