Gleeman Vox

Gleeman Vox is the founder and owner of Vox Industries and DreadZone, the latter which he created because of his belief that he'd acquire stupendous ratings with a show that pitted the galaxy's heroes against each other. He shows affection to little else than his pet Slugha and to a high bolt revenue from sold Exterminator products. He has a cybernetic arm that allows him to play holograms.

Overview
In the beginning events of Deadlocked, Gleeman Vox captures Ratchet, Clank, and Big Al, and fits them with Deadlock collars with which he can send a six thousand volt electric charge through their bodies to kill them if they ever attempted escaping DreadZone Station, or if they caused DreadZone ratings to slip.

Nonetheless, Ratchet's Team Darkstar proved to be quite competent and rose fast in the contestant rankings. Soon, however, the lombax's rising popularity among the fans caused Vox's Ace Hardlight merchandise sales to drop, and he quickly realized that Ratchet had become considerably more appreciated than the leader of the Exterminators. Eventually, Ratchet faces and defeats Hardlight at the Battledome, after which Gleeman Vox offers him Ace's product deal and Exterminator position. He is bluntly turned down, and, furious, Vox sends Ratchet on a death mission at the Ghost Station - but when the lombax returns, Vox then places detonators all around DreadZone Station, forcing Ratchet to complete one last mission at the Battledome by threatening to blow up the station if he does not succeed. Vox does this because he believes it will help him achieve the highest ratings possible. Ultimately, however, Ratchet defeats Gleeman Vox in the Dome, who makes the station explode anyway. The lombax escapes with Clank and Al on the station's last hovership, along with Vox News anchormen Dallas and Juanita, other DreadZone contestants that managed to get on the ship, and Vox's pet Slugha.
