Bio:
"Gordon is the #4 big blue express engine who works on the Main Line. And is one of the fastest and strongest engines on the Island of Sodor.

Gordon's important position as the engine who pulls the Express has made him proud, pompous, arrogant, stubborn, prideful, and self-important, with a good reason too; he is the fastest steam engine on Sodor. He is incredibly proud of this and is inclined to boast. But despite his pompousness, he is goodhearted, always willing to forgive, and uses his superior strength to help smaller engines out of trouble. Though he is also vengeful and will plot retribution if he feels he has been sufficiently slighted, as mentioned before, he is happy to forgive, especially after he has either had his retribution or the individual has received some other comeuppance. He also has a great hatred of goods trains and believes that he should only pull coaches. Because of his rank in the North Western Railway's social order, Gordon expects to get the important passenger jobs and either sulks when he does not get what he wants or gets jealous of engines who do get what they want.

Gordon is rude and egotistical more often than not, especially towards smaller engines like Thomas or Percy. However, he has helped them on a few occasions and does not necessarily dislike them. He can also be rude to older and weaker engines like Edward, but following misadventures where Edward had to help him, Gordon had to acknowledge that despite being old. Despite the way he treats others sometimes, deep down, Gordon cares a great deal about the other engines on the railway."
