Flint Vorselon

"Pitiful creature. You've meddled in Dr. Nefarious' plans for the last time. Prepare to be killed by... wait for it... Lord Vorselon!"

- Lord Vorselon to Ratchet

Lord Flint Vorselon was a powerful mercenary, and later high ranking commander of Dr. Nefarious. He kidnapped Qwark and several Fongoids at the beginning of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time He was a floating Terraklon head in a jar connected to a robotic body. When Ratchet collected all 40 Zoni, Ratchet was faced with the challenge of dueling Vorselon. After defeating him, the player had access to the Insomniac Moon.

History
Long before the events of A Crack in Time, Vorselon challanged his worst enimes, the Drophyds, to a battle on their own home planet of Zaurik. Accepting, Vorselon and the Drophyds faught, in what was declared a mini war according to Galactic Trivia. Utimately, however, Vorselon, being out numbered and not fully armed, lost the war and even his body, leaving it crushed and abandoned on the Drophyd homeplanet. Soon later, Vorselon got a new artifical robotic hi-tech protection suit. Years later, Vorselon was sentenced for life in Zordoom Prison for kidnapping Kerchu Ambassador Boogoh. Two years later, however, Vorselon managed to somehow escape and teamed up. Nefarious then agreed to help Vorselon by preventing his loss to the Drophyds and helping him win the war by useing the Great Clock to turn back time, and so Vorselon accepted.

Kidnapping Qwark and the Fongoids
This is Vorselon's first and likely only appearance in the series. Vorselon lead his ship in the level simply named Vorselon's Ship. The level consisted of two sectors and was rather long. At one point in each sector, Ratchet battled Vorselon by shooting at him and dodging his minions as he commanded them to attack. He kidnapped Qwark and several Fongoids at the beginning of A Crack in Time, but they are saved and Vorselon is defeated, but escaped in his life support tank.

Working with Nefarious
After he escaped he returned to the Nefarious Space Station and somehow got another new artificial body there, where he then informed Nefarious that Ratchet and Azimuth have destroyed the VX-99, but their troopers are searching for their vessel as they speak. Nefarious, furious, screamed "unacceptable" saying he "handed those squishes to him on a silver platter." Nefarious then screams and throws a triangle shaped object at him but Vorselon warps out of the way. Nefarious then explaned that he knowes if Ratchet or Azimuth find the Great Clock their plans will be ruined and his body will remain crushed and abandoned on Planet Zaurik. Vorselon then makes a puppy dog eye, as Nefarious brought in specialists, three large Valkyries, Cassiopeia, Carina, and Libra.

Second battle with Ratchet
Vorselon later appears in the game where it is revealed he kidnapped Azimuth while Ratchet found out what happened to Orvus on Zanifar. Talking over his camera to Ratchet, he says to Ratchet that he'll let Azimuth live if he lets him kill him, and then uploads his whereabouts to Ratchet's ship, and says he'd better hurry, and breaks the camera. When Ratchet finally confronted Vorselon, he asks where Azimuth is, Vorselon answers if he defeats him he'll tell him where Azimuth is. After a second battle, Ratchet once again defeats Vorselon and he escapes saying he cannot be defeated, but does not tell him where Azimuth is, so Ratchet had to continue to find him. Ratchet later finds and saves Azimuth, where after they leave Vorselon moves his ship into another sector.

Playing Video Games with Nefarious
Vorselon was once again later seen playing video games with Nefarious, where he was playing as Captain Qwark and Nefarious playing as himself, though because he didn't get another new artificial body yet it was extremely hard for him to move the controller, and as a result he lost and Nefarious shouts "Victory! In your face!" at Vorselon and Vorselon makes a mad face, as Lawrence appears to tell Nefarious that Clank was heading towards the Orvus Chamber.

Final Fight and Death
After Nefarious' and Azimuth's defeat Vorselon challenges Ratchet to one final fight, where he then says to Ratchet he is his father's accountant, and then says to Ratchet to find him in the Corvus Sector and let them end what they began. When Ratchet & Clank find Vorselon, now with a new artificial suit, he says he has not only got a new suit but he upgraded it as well, and then says they will face terror unlike any they have ever known. Clank then asked Ratchet if Vorselon was always this dramatic. Ratchet answered it's his shtick. After a long battle, Ratchet defeated Vorselon for a final time which, due to the damage, causes his suit and now his life support tank to explode, leaving him a head on the ground, where he is killed when Ratchet steps on him, triggering his warship's self-destruct mechanism as part of his "Sore Loser Protocol," an event which Ratchet and Clank escaped within seconds of the ship's obliteration.

Abilities
Lord Vorselon's abilities are connected to his robotic suit. During his first battle with Ratchet his attacks consisted of a brief burst of laser fire from his claws, a focused energy beam with a constant laser, a field of aerial spheres which fire electric bolts and a cloaking device he uses to regroup when injured. In the second battle he has upgraded to sending a pair or possibly a wave of energy discs at Ratchet, he fires more lasers (two waves of lasers at once), his focusing laser has a two-prong sweeping beam, he launches more spheres and when he cloaks he does a sneak attack on Ratchet. In the final battle he has a four-prong sweeping beam, he fires 3 lasers at a time, he launches even more spheres and discs and he becomes more resilient with each battle. But without his suit he is helpless to his enemies and so has jet boosters on his life-support tank to make his escape.

Trivia

 * He was sentenced for life in Zordoom Prison for kidnapping Kerchu Ambassador Boogoh. He escaped.
 * When he first saw Ratchet, he thought he was Alister Azimuth, as he was unaware of Ratchet's existence.
 * He and his army broke into Grummelnet HQ in Meridian City and stole the plans for his robotic suit. No one knows how a disembodied head was able to accomplish this.
 * According to him, he used to be Kaden's accountant. However, he could be just saying that due to him being a bit overdramatic.
 * After his defeat on Zaurik, he challenged the Drophyds to a rematch. It is unknown if they ever responded.
 * Vorselon was one of a few characters Ratchet had to fight three times; another being Dr. Nefarious in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal and the Thugs-4-Less Leader in Ratchet & Clank Going Commando.
 * Interestingly enough, Vorselon in his mechanical suit bore a striking resemblance to the species he lost a battle against, the Drophyds. Notable similarities include that both Vorselon and Drophyds are basically heads inside a glass bowl attached to a metallic body, and after the final battle, his head came off in a similar fashion to the Drophyds, and his head could be crushed like one.
