Kaden

Good Ratchet's father, sometimes known as the Guardian, was a Lombax and the keeper of the Dimensionator. When his people were driven to use the device to escape to another dimension following Percival Tachyon's overruning of Fastoon, the Guardian elected to remain behind to protect the device. He, along with his infant son Ratchet, were left as the only two Lombaxes in Ratchet's dimension.

Tachyon, seeking to return the displaced Cragmites from their dimensional prison, began seeking the Dimensionator. As a result the Guardian hid the device on Jasindu, leaving an elaborate trail of clues throughout the Polaris Galaxy that only the best of minds could follow. Fearing for his son's safety, the Guardian then dispatched Ratchet to the Solana Galaxy and to Veldin, where he grew up in safety, but unknowing of his heritage.

Ratchet's father then faced Tachyon in combat, but was soon bested. In his final moments, the Guardian refused to reveal the location of either the device or his son, and so Tachyon took great pleasure in killing him. His murder was later avenged by his son Ratchet when he came back to Fastoon and fought Tachyon, defeating him.

At one point in his life, Ratchet's father sold the Gyro-cycle to the Smuggler at the Vorox Nebula.
