Profile
Appearance
Geoffrey is a very short man with a very large head relative to his body, and he wears a small black top hat on his head. He seems to prefer nunchucks as his main weapon. He always has a brown pipe in his mouth when he is seen, and his eyes always appear to be tightly shut or barely open.
Personality

― Geoffrey suggesting his ideas [on the final Route] to Henry |
Geoffrey is generally shown to be a bright person who is good at making ideas, though those said ideas can backfire at certain times. As provided by his CtM bio, he's always been good at making ideas and it has had nothing to do with his abnormally large head. Geoffrey can also be fierce and aggressive at times as he immediately tries to capture Henry in PBT with no hesitation and also tries to take out the Toppat Leaders or the Airship aggressively in "The Good Gents" and "Midnight Surprise" fails, respectively.
Geoffrey also seems to bear a lot of morality, at least when compared to fellow Toppats. When Reginald Copperbottom effectively dethrones Henry and attempts to make him jump to his death, Geoffrey and Thomas are the only Toppats who disagree with the decision instead of following the herd. Unlike Thomas however who views Henry as a great leader, Geoffrey considers the idea of not only dethroning but attempting to kill Henry on the spot wrong. He even mentions to Henry later in the path that what the Toppats tried to do to him wasn't right at all.
Infiltrating the Airship
Geoffrey first appears in the intro when Captain Hubert Galeforce is talking to Henry Stickmin about the Toppat Clan, he can be seen standing next to other Toppat Clan members with nunchucks.
Later in the "Pure Blooded Thief" path, he catches Henry snooping around in the Airship after Henry steals the Romanian Ruby from the vault. He warns the other Toppat members, but as he does so, a government missile hits the window of the hallway he is in, presumably killing him.
Completing the Mission
In TCW, Geoffrey is a major supporting character. He and Thomas remain loyal to Henry even after Reginald turns the rest of the clan on the latter for betraying Ellie Rose and leaving her at The Wall. During the denouncement ceremony, Geoffrey and Thomas go against the change in leadership as well as the plan to kill Henry though this leads to the Right Hand Man commanding them to be sent to The Brig. After being locked up, Henry frees him and Thomas after taking out Floyd Winters with Dave's help. Geoffrey thanks Henry for this and then proposes 3 plans.
- [X] The Good Gents: Henry and the others attempt to invade the cockpit, only for Geoffrey and him to be killed by Right Hand Man's eye laser.
- [X] Midnight Surprise: Geoffrey, Thomas and Dave rig the airship with explosives, preparing to detonate them by midnight. However, Geoffrey neglected potential escape routes for his team and triggered the explosives while they are still on the ship, killing them.
- Deuces!: Geoffrey opens an escape pod, prompting the three others to enter. The pod leaves the ship, inadvertedly killing Reginald and Right Hand Man before landing in the desert, concluding the pathway.
After the landing, Geoffrey says "What now, boss? Looks like we're on our own." while awaiting Henry's orders as the game cuts to the ending screen showing Henry's faction of the Toppat Clan who start a civil war with Ellie's main faction of the Toppats.
In the Toppat 4 Life pathway, he appears on the final screen along with other elite Toppat members.

Trivia
- According to his character bio in the remastered version of Infiltrating the Airship, Geoffrey's large head makes it difficult for him to see.
- This may be part of the reason why the Toppy option in the "Toppat Civil Warfare" path fails, as he has difficulties seeing Henry possessing The Brig's guard from his cell.
- In the subtitles of Infiltrating The Airship, in the Pure Blooded Thief passageway, there is a typo and his name is spelled Jeffrey instead of Geoffrey.
- Geoffrey is often confused for other members of the Toppat Clan in the Henry Stickmin series. In Infiltrating the Airship, many thought that he was Wilhelm Krieghaus who was trying to open the door of the Airship. In Fleeing the Complex, other thought that he was Ahnoldt Schwarz who was commanding Henry Stickmin to get to the Airship.
- This was cleared up with the release of The Henry Stickmin Collection and the introduction of Bios.
- The intro of ItA shows Geoffrey with nunchucks. However, he never uses them.
- The only time Geoffrey is enemies with Henry (physically) was in "Pure Blooded Thief", where he spots him stealing the Romanian Ruby, he was friends with Henry in the rest of his physical appearances because Henry was the leader of the Toppat Clan, and he never opposed Henry's leadership.
- He is PuffballsUnited's second favorite Toppat character, only losing to the Right Hand Man.[1]
- Due to the sheer size of his head, Geoffrey's top hat seems notably smaller than most others.
