After finding himself in a gigantic Zoni-made machine known as the Great Clock, Clank became the Senior Caretaker of the Great Clock, but eventually promoted Junior Caretaker Sigmund to be the Senior Caretaker in his place, so that he could reunite with Ratchet. Clank's creator was a Zoni named Orvus, who regarded his creation as a son. The Zoni refer to Clank as the " Chosen One". This became his nickname throughout his adventures with Ratchet, protecting the universe from numerous evil-doers and becoming legendary heroes who always have each other backs, metaphorical and literally speaking.
#A CRACK IN TIME SKILL POINTS SERIAL NUMBER#
While Clank's serial number was B5429671, the name "Clank" emerged when Ratchet's homemade ship rocked while flying to Planet Novalis, causing the small robot to hit the side of the ship and making a clank sound. He was created in the Great Clock by his father, Orvus. He then landed on Veldin and met Ratchet. He is the main deuteragonist of the Ratchet and Clank franchise and was born at the Robot Factory on the Planet Quartu, where he awoke and ended up escaping. My son's name is XJ-0461, but the universe knows him as Clank!Ĭlank, real name XJ-0461 is a small defective Sentry-botrobot (later revealed to have a Zoni soul) and Ratchet's long-time companion and friend. Quite smart! He was born in a robot factory in the Solana Galaxy, but to be precise, he was 'created' much farther away. Have I ever told you about my son? Remarkable boy.
