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.

Early life
Vorselon was one of the many Terraklons, who were known for stealing and making terror in the Polaris Galaxy. He was a Terraklon assassin, one of the best until his defeat.

Battle with the Drophyds
Vorselon and his vast army challanged their worst enemies, the Drophyds, to a battle on their own home planet of Zaurik, and fight in what is sometimes declared a war. They accepted and fought, but, utimately, however, being out numbered and not fully armed, Vorselon lost the war and his body, leaving it crushed and abandoned under a boulder on Zaurik, leaving only his head remaining. The Drophyds left the Terraklon there to die, however, he was then saved by his army just in time. Unfortunetly, Vorselon's body was beyond repair. He was later abandoned on Zaurik where he had been defeated by his kind, who no longer accepted him due to his defeat, and therefore wanted revenge on the Drophyds. Vorselon later became a mercenary due to his defeat and being betrayed by the rest of his race.

New body and kidnapping
After breaking into into Grummlenet HQ in Meridian City with his remaining army, Vorselon stoled an artifical robotic hi-tech protection battle suit, with water in his life support tank at the top, which Vorselon apparently needed to survive. It is unknown how a disembodied head was able to accomplish this. Years later, Vorselon, now no longer accepted by his race, became a mercenary, and kidnapped, which Vorselon needed to survive. It is unknown how a disembodied head was able to accomplish this.

Years later, Vorselon kidnapped Kerchu Ambassador Boogoh, but was caught and sentenced for life in Zordoom Prison.

Zordoom Prison
Around the events of Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction the Terraklon's homeworld, Terraklon Six, was destroyed by a supernova, so they were released from Zordoom, and free to wonder the galaxy in search of a new place to live. Vorselon, as he was sentenced for life, however, was indeed still kept in prison. He was mentioned over the speakers of Zordoom. He later escaped.

Teaming with Dr. Nefarious
Six months before A Crack in Time, after escaping, Vorselon seeked help, as he was now wanted by Galactic police and no longer had an army due to his sentence. He later met Dr. Nefarious, who had agreed to help Vorselon by preventing his loss to the Drophyds by using the Great Clock to turn back time and making him his new partner. Vorselon gladly accepted the doctor's offer and was given part of his robotic army, Nefarious' trooper's, and a new warship, simpily known as Vorselon's ship.

Vorselon also kidnapped and had many battles with Lombax warrior, Alister Azimuth. The Terraklon had also around the time again challened the Drophyds to a rematch on their homeworld, but it is unknown if they ever responded back.

Kidnapping Qwark and the Fongoids
Lord Vorselon kidnapped Captain Qwark and set an attack on Planet Quartos. Thinking Ratchet was Alister Azimuth, the Lombax that had many battles with him, Vorselon sent his troops to kill him and capture seven Fongoids for question. Ratchet managed to defeat his troopers and save the village, however, Vorselon escaped. The Lombax then used the Zoni he found to fix his ship and travel to Vorselon's ship to free Qwark and the Fongoids and teach Vorselon a lesson. While Ratchet destroyed Vorselon's attack ships, Vorselon was heard having a conversation with Captain Qwark, who had asked Vorselon if there was a way to settle this without violence. Vorselon replied with saying the only future he could hope for was a mercival death, following hours of pain. Qwark then sarcastically said "So, thats a no right?" to the mad Terraklon as Ratchet landed on his ship. Ratchet defeated Vorselon's troopers and made it to where Qwark and two Fongoids were being kept. He managed to save them by using his Wrench to free them, setting off the alarms and more troopers. Ratchet later spyed on an angry Vorselon yelling at the rest of the Fongoids who were still captured. Vorselon firmly thought that the Lombax he saw was Alister Azimuth, and kept yelling at the Fongoids to tell him where he was, as the Fongoids tryed to tell him it was just a young Lombax not Azimuth. Vorselon still refused to believe the Fongoids, and trapped them in a containment field. Ratchet made it to where the Fongoids were being held, and freed them, having them and Qwark escape in a ship. Vorselon, mad that the Fongoids escaped, ordered his computer to locate the person who freed them, where the bio scan revealed one Lombax life form. Vorselon screamed "Azimuth" and told his troops he'll deal with him himself. Ratchet finally confronted the Terraklon in his battle room, as the Terraklon told the confused Lombax it was the last time he would be messing up his and Nefarious' plans, and told him to prepare to be killed by "Lord Vorselon!" Ratchet defeated the Terraklon, causing his suit to fall apart, launching him in his life support tank, out as he said "the battle was far from over" to the Lombax, but suddenly got stuck between door. He managed to get out using his thrusters from his life support tank and after Ratchet left piloted his ship out of his sector.

Return to the Nefarious Space Station
After escaping, he returned to the Nefarious Space Station, getting another new artificial body there, where he then informed Nefarious that Ratchet and Alister Azimuth have destroyed the VX-99, but their troopers are searching for their vessel as they speak. Nefarious, furious, screamed "unacceptable" saying he "practically handed those squishes to him on a silver platter." Nefarious then screamed in anger and threw a globe from his desk at him but Vorselon but warped out of the way and hid behind Lawrence. Nefarious then explained 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 "is that what you want?" Vorselon then shook his head and made 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 revealing he kidnapped Azimuth while Ratchet found out what happened to Orvus on Zanifar. Talking over his camera to Ratchet, he tells Ratchet that he'll indeed let Azimuth live if he takes his place, uploads his whereabouts to Ratchet's ship, says he'd better hurry, and breaks the camera. Ratchet then traveled to Vorselon's ship again to defeat the mad fish. When Ratchet finally confronted Vorselon, he asked where Azimuth was, where Vorselon answers while sarcastically saying "where did I put him" to himself and then says if Ratchet defeats him he'll tell him. After a second battle, Ratchet once again defeats Vorselon, but 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
He 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 to the doctor and was defeated. Nefarious then shouted "Victory! In your face!" at Vorselon and the Terraklon then makes a mad pouty face, as Nefarious' butler, Lawrence appears to tell them that Clank lead them right to the Orvus Chamber and there plan worked.

Final battle and Death
After Nefarious' and Azimuth's defeat, Vorselon challenged Ratchet, now with his buddy Clank, to one final battle in his ship, 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. Ratchet and Clank knew that with Vorselon still on the lose in Polaris, the galaxy would never be safe, so they accepted the final battle. 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, where Ratchet answers thats just him. 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. Vorselon was killed after Ratchet stepped on his disembodied head, 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

 * 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.
 * As confirmed by Insomniac Games, Vorselon often made a puppy dog face when he was in trouble, messed something up, or both. This was seen after Nefarious yelled and screamed at Vorselon because he was defeated by Ratchet. He also made other cute faces including a scared and pouty face.
 * 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.
 * It was possible to hear Vorselon say during battle that he would make the "Drophyd squishies" pay for what they did to him. This indicated that he was starting to share Nefarious' ideals against organisms, being used to his mainly robotic body.
 * After Vorselon is defeated for the final time, his head can only be destroyed by hitting it with your wrench or by stepping on it.
