History Characters / RatchetAndClankSupporting

* InkSuitActor: It's ''extremely'' obvious who voices Zurkon Jr. and such is played up a lot in script.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: See the parenthesis in the folder name? His name has been spelled "Skid [=McMarx=]", "Skidd [=McMarxx=]" and "[=Skidd McMarx=]".

* WrongSideAllAlong: [[spoiler:Not only does he have a brighter future as a hero than a pirate, but hero stuff turns out to come naturally to Quantum -- after he delivers a grand declaration that Emperor Nefarious's reign is over, Qwark gushes that he has goosebumps.]]

* AmbiguouslyRelated: He and Bob, who both upgrade Clank over the course of the first game, are brothers. Another character who gives lank and upgrade, Edwina, looks rather similar to them and appears with them in the final cutscene of ''Up Your Arsenal'', but whether she's a relative of theirs or not isn't stated.

* AscendedExtra: Downplayed since he still only makes minor appearances. Originally only a minor character, he now utilizes OffscreenTeleportation, sees into the future, and is [[MediumAwareness medium aware]].

* BadassBoast: [[spoiler:Is quite bold in his words to Emperor Nefarious in the final battle.
--> '''Quantum:''' Emperor Nefarious, your campaign of destruction, cruelty, and wanton snobbery is over! (Glances at Qwark) How's that?\\
'''Qwark:''' I have goosebumps! (shivers)\\
'''Ratchet:''' You nailed it.]]

* TheDitz: More perceptive and not nearly the airhead that Qwark is, but he still has his moments. When Ratchet (who he thinks is [[HelloInsertNameHere actually named Captain "What"]]) points out he's not a robot, Quantum takes a swing at him, misses, trips, and scrambles across the deck desperately trying to put his fake head back on; when the pirates discover him having "decapitated" their leader, he smiles and hides it behind his back. [[spoiler:Near the end of the game, he reveals that the brilliant plan he's come up with to draw their enemy's out is ''another'' robot disguise, but this time [[NoodleImplements "with a really big" something]], just as Emperor Nefarious interrupts.]]

* {{Nerd}}: Typical example, he lisps, he's into video games and comics, and he's obsessed with mechanical problems.

* GoodAllAlong: They actually respect Ratchet, but have to slander him because Vox will kill them otherwise.

* HollywoodNerd: Typical example, he lisps, he's into video games and comics, and he's obsessed with mechanical problems.

->''"My name is Pierre Le Fer--pirate extraordinaire."''

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Acts as if he and Rivet are star-crossed lovers, with him sadly declining her affections as she constantly fawns over him; needless to say, it's one of many ways in which he differs from [[AmbiguouslyGay Pete]].

* AbsenteeActor: The only games in the series where he's absent are ''Deadlocked'', ''Quest for Booty'', and ''Rift Apart'', and even his absence in the former is handwaved in a post-credits message as him being busy dealing with a "sump pump emergency in the Rygyllian Nebula" and promising he would return in later games, while in the last one we meet his son Gary, who claims he's on vacation.
** The Plumber does appear to make a cameo during the credits of Rift Apart however.

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Acts as if he and Rivet are star-crossed lovers, with him sadly declining her affections as she constantly fawns over him; needless to say, it's one of many ways in which he differs from [[AmbiguouslyGay Pete]]. [[IncompatibleOrientation Not that she ever would be attracted to him.]]

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Acts as if he and Rivet are star-crossed lovers, with him sadly declining her affections as she constantly fawns over him; needless to say, it's one of many ways in which he differs from [[AmbiguouslyGay Pete]].

* PaperThinDisguise: To the point that Ratchet was able to easily tell he wasn't a robot when he first saw them. However, the disguise worked very well with his robot crew.
