..Take off your hat,' the King said to the Hatter.
..It isn't mine,' said the Hatter.
..Stolen!' the King exclaimed, turning to the jury, who instantly made a memorandum of the fact.
..I keep them to sell,' the Hatter added as an explanation; ..I've none of my own. I'm a hatter.'

The Mad Hatter's real name is Jervis Tetch. Tetch modelled his criminal persona after The Hatter, the eccentric top-hatted host of the bizarre tea party in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. This is due to his obsession with hats and a startling resemblance to the character as depicted in Sir John Tenniel's illustrations.
Tetch is obsessive-compulsive, highly delusional, suffers from psychotic manic depression, and can even sometimes be homicidal. He exhibits delusions and thought processes typical of schizophrenia. Not only is he often known to quote and associate with Carroll's Wonderland novels, but he often fails to discern between these stories and reality. He will go to insane lengths to get what he wants.
Tetch is highly skilled with computers, electronics, and technology, which he uses to create a variety of mind controlling devices, some even able to read minds. He is untrained in hand-to-hand combat and thus, often carries a Glock 9mm handgun or a .357 Magnum, and a 2-shot Derringer strapped inside of his hat.
