Ratchet

Ratchet is the main protagonist of the Ratchet & Clank series, being one of the titular heroes and a main playable character in the series. He is the last remaining lombax in the universe.

Son of Kaden, Ratchet was born on Fastoon in the Polaris Galaxy but came to grow up as an orphaned mechanic on Veldin in the Solana Galaxy. His life was changed once he met Clank, a small robot who crash-landed on Veldin and became his lifelong companion and best friend. Often working alongside Captain Qwark, the two shared many adventures, in which they defeated galactic criminals and supervillains, the most notable of which being Dr. Nefarious. During this time, Ratchet has worked with Megacorp as a commando, the Galactic Rangers as a sergeant, Q-Force as a leading member, and the Polaris Defense Force.

Ratchet is a street-wise, headstrong lombax who shows immense bravery and enjoys challenges. He cares about protecting people of the galaxy but particularly cares passionately about his close friends and his homeworld of Veldin. He is a skilled mechanic and a wielder of many powerful weapons and gadgets manufactured by Gadgetron, Megacorp, GrummelNet, the lombaxes, and others. His most common weapon is an OmniWrench, which he uses in melee combat.
