Clank, real name XJ-0461,[1] was a small robot (later revealed to also be a Zoni) and Ratchet's long-time companion and friend, and the deutragonist of the Ratchet and Clank series. He was born at the Robot Factory on the Planet Quartu but was created in the Great Clock by his father, Orvus. 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. This became his nickname throughout his adventures with Ratchet.
The Zoni referred to Clank as the "Chosen One". Clank's creator was a Zoni named Orvus, who regarded his creation as a son.[2] After finding himself in a gigantic Zoni-made machine known as the Great Clock, Clank became the Senior Caretaker of the Great Clock, but eventially promoted Junior Caretaker Sigmund to be the Senior Caretaker in his place so that he could reunite with Ratchet. He could also transform into an ultra-mech. In this form, known as Giant Clank, he could shoot missiles from his arms, launch energy bombs, and punch enemies.
