**Patrick "Pat" Clifton**, known to his friends as **Postman Pat**, is the main character of the series. He is the village postman for Greendale and the head postman for the Special Delivery Service in Pencaster. Pat lives at Forge Cottage in Greendale with his wife Sara and son Julian, who is six years old. His pet cat Jess also comes with him on his post rounds.

## Biography

As a young lad, Pat used to think that he might like to be a train driver, but of course this was just a childhood idea. Pat's working life started as being the local postman of Greendale in Cumbria. Everyday as he went around on his rounds, he was always the man with the answers and the helping hand for everything. Eventually, his helpful nature was known by everyone and the locals of Greendale adored him. By this point, Pat knew he had picked just the right occupation and there is no other job he would rather have. Being a postman gives him the opportunity to see all his friends and neighbours daily, not just within the village, but also in the beautiful countryside outside. He loves to get the chance to stop and have a chat with them and the sight of their smiling faces when they receive a card or a present from a loved one truly makes Pat's day.

By the time his next birthday came round, the Pencaster Gazette awarded him the "Postman of the Year", for being such a helpful postman. As the said newspaper had listed his birthday for that week, Pat was most surprised that everyone seemed to know that which he had meant to keep a secret, until he saw the article.

Pat is always glad to take his cat Jess with him on his rounds; to Pat, life would not be the same without his feline companion and he sometimes feels that he is the brains of the outfit.

Pat soon received his own post bus as well as the van, which he first tested on a journey to Ingledale. After this, he only use it on special occasions and if the van broke down, or in the case of Ted Glen's robot postman use it as a reinforced pursuit vehicle. But eventually, it was decided that the post bus was not so important for the postal service, so Pat sold it to the school as their own personal transport.

When Pat started to get overloaded with more and more parcels, he was given his very own postal trolley similar to those he had once seen in London.

When the railway running through Greendale was reopened, Pat then became able to send off out of Greendale mail, by loading it onto the mail truck coupled behind the steam locomotive known as the Greendale Rocket.

Pat's reliability soon promoted him to the Special Delivery Service. If ever a call came through on his special mobile telephone that the service gave to him, he would in drive down to the SDS HQ in Pencaster and then transport his very special deliveries in one of his many different modes of transport that the service have to offer.

With both the roles of working for the Post Office in Greendale and the Special Delivery Sorting Off in Pencaster, Pat's days are never typical, because anything could happen; usually it can and he would never know how. Pat likes it best that way, as it means that his job is never ever dull.

## Personality

Pat is a helpful postman, who always knows best and has an opinion that every one of his many friends respects. He does sometimes have a knack of getting into muddles if there is one small change to the way his day of delivering the mail goes, but every cloud has a silver lining as they say and Pat is soon back on track, making sure all of Greendale gets its mail and that all his friends are happy by the end of the day.

Pat loves his family, friends, job and hometown. To him, all of these things mixed with the loving community he lives in, make him feel like the luckiest man on earth!

## Physical Appearance

In the cartoon, Pat has fair skin, reddish brown hair, black eyes, and wears silver glasses due to his bad eyesight.

When at work, Pat wears the postman's uniform dating back from the 1970's, which comprises of a dark blue hat, jacket and trousers.

In the snows of winter, Pat used to were his own winter coat over his uniform, but lately, when the snow comes, he wears a fluorescent jacket provided by the post office to help him stand out against the white background.

In the movie, Pat has copper brown eyes and wears black glasses. His hair would be normal as it slicked and he takes off his glasses.

In the fanfics, Pat has pale skin, reddish brown hair and sky blue eyes.

While in a hospital, he wears a powder blue pyjamas with blue lines on collars, pocket and cuffs. Also, he wore a white identification wristband on his right hand and he had a nasal cannula inserted to his nose. On his left hand, he has a needle that connected to an IV line.
