An immensely obese (weighing in at a metric ton) henchman hailing from Scotland, Fat Bastard served Dr. Evil in his quest to defeat Austin Powers and conquer the Earth. He is noted for frequently passing wind, and his unusual eating habits, namely a taste for babies (and anything that looks like a baby, eg: midgets). He once offered Dr. Evil his services in exchange for Mini Me. (A commonly repeated quote is him saying to Mini Me "I'm bigger than you, I'm higher on the food chain! Get in ma belly!") In Austin Powers: The Spy who Shagged Me, during an assasination attempt against Austin, Fat Bastard can be quoted as saying "I eat because I'm unhappy, and I'm unhappy because I eat. It's a vicious cycle. Now if you'll excuse me, there's someone I need to get in touch with; meself." After which he passes wind.

Fat Bastard eventually left Dr. Evil's employ and relocated to Japan. There he became a sumo wrestler, and despite trying to go straight, he would still occasionally carry out an odd job for Dr. Evil. Eventually, by the end of Austin Powers: Goldmember he lost all of his excess weight, thanks to the Subway diet. However he can be quoted as saying: "I've got a bit of excess skin though. And unfortunately, ma kneck does kinda look like a vagina."
