It was revealed that before working for the Toad, Whitey used to be a lab rat at one of London's biggest laboratories. However, a laboratory accident lead to the destruction of the lab and Whitey was therefore released into theld and later ended up as Toad's left-hand man.
Even though he is one of the henchmen of The Toad, he is not really a villain as he is kind, happy and gentle and doesn't do any violence, unlike Spike, his friend that does violence.
Trivia[]
Whitey has the typical coloration of an albino rodent (white skin/fur, pink eyes), so his claim that he was made that way by a lab accident was probably a joke.
Whitey is presumed to have reformed judging by his peaceful and almost innocent nature, and some claim it was he who caused Spike to be struck by the bottle, having hit him with it out of good-natured irritation.
