Ratchet:
Having saved two Galaxies (one of then twice) and defeated a megalomaniacal media titan, Ratchet comes to us as a hero who knows all the angles. He's the type of hero who can defeat a horde of interstellar convoy bandits without breaking a sweat. But while he's confident in his abilities, he's less satisfied with life as a whole - there's something missing. Tools of Destruction seeks to answer the question Ratchet and his fans have been asking since day one - where did he come from? Because the secrets of his past might just save the future.

Clank
Clank has always been, and remains Ratchet's conscience. He is the rational anchor to Ratchet's passionate impulsiveness. Like his best friend, Clank also has questions about his origins. Is he really a defect from a Blargian Robot Factory, or is he something special? His encounter with a race of inter-dimensional gremlins called the Zoni will send Clank on a spiritual journey.
