President Phyronix

"We're live on planet Marcadia with the Galactic President. Mr. President, how would the attack on Metropolis effect your chances for reelection this fall?"

- Darla Gratch

"I'm glad you asked, Darla. Are demographic research predicts that robots will make up 100% percent of the galactic population by this time next week. Course that's great news for my reelection campaign because as you know... I'm half robot myself!"

- President Phyronix responding to Darla Gratch's question about the recent Biobliterator attack on planet Kerwan.

President Phyronix, better known as The Galactic President, was a Cazar who served as the President of the Solana Galaxy during the rampage of Dr. Nefarious. He was Captain Sasha Phyronix's father and also a big fan of Clank and his Secret Agent Clank HoloVid series, at one point actually believing them to be real.

Dr. Nefarious' Attack
When Dr. Nefarious began to wreak havoc in the Solana Galaxy, The President sent Ratchet to find Captain Qwark, who hid on Florana. When they returned with the former super hero, he appointed Qwark as leader of the new Q-Force. When Nefarious' bio-weapons began to rampage the galaxy by attacking the population of Metropolis, the President claimed he was half a robot to avoid being attacked by the Biobliterator (and to help get reelected that fall, by appealing to robots who would make up 100% of the galactic population in a week following the attack on Metropolis (guaranteeing his re-election)). Fortunately, Ratchet and Clank foiled Nefarious' plot before Nefarious could harm any more of the galaxy. The Galactic President was seen at the premiere of Secret Agent Clank's latest movie at the game's conclusion.

Defeat of Otto Destruct/Rescue of Ratchet
After Ratchet and Clank defeated Otto Destruct, the Galactic President awarded the duo with medals. He was not seen in Secret Agent Clank but he was debriefed at the end by Ms. Cute Anastasia Bot over a HoloVid Screen.

Artemis Zogg's galaxy
In Artemis Zogg's attempt to create his own Artemis Galaxy, President Phyronix went on a goodwill trip to Polaris, but lost communication with his daughter, Sasha. President Phyronix was kidnapped by Artemis Zogg and forced to work on planet Zaurik as a Trillium miner. After geo-swifting the planet away from Polaris and into the Artemis Galaxy, Zogg showed up. The President tried to convince Artemis that he couldn't just impose leadership, but Artemis denied this, thinking it was for the good of the universe. President Phyronix claimed that Zogg was more like a dictator, every bit as cruel as Tachyon and even more misguided than Dr. Nefarious. Artemis Zogg informed President Phyronix that he could become Zogg's personal vice president. President Phyronix refused and told Zogg that he would continue to work in the Trillium Mines. Before Artemis Zogg left, Phyronix asked him what had happened to him, Artemis Zogg simply answered back saying he "wised up" and suggested that Phyronix did the same.
