The Conductor (A Hat in Time)

Background

The Conductor is a major character in A Hat in Time who mainly appears in Chapter 2: Battle of the Birds. He is a movie director who creates western based films, and has Hat Kid star in two films called "Murder on the Owl Express" and "Train Rush". As his name suggests, he also conducts a train called The Owl Express.

Having a rivalry with DJ Grooves, he's one of the two birds whom Hat Kid can help win the competition for the Annual Bird Movie Awards. If Hat Kid helps him win then Hat Kid fights him in a boss fight. If Hat Kid helps DJ Grooves win she will fight DJ Grooves in a boss fight, The Conductor will show up to the ceremony, saying that he will find a way to defuse the bomb placed on Hat Kid in the middle of the boss fight. After Hat Kid lands a few more hits on DJ Grooves, The Conductor will hold out a huge pair of scissors to defuse the bomb with. When running over to him, he will cut the fuse off, thus making the bomb disappear.
