Plumber

The Plumber, also known as the Mechanic or the Water Worker, is a traveling handyman who will repair any leaky plumbing if the price is right. Ratchet and Clank first encountered him fixing a pipe on planet Novalis, where he sold them an Infobot in exchange for 500 bolts to get a shuttle off the planet, which was being devastated by the Blarg. He later encountered the duo on Batalia, where he had found work trying to fix Fort Krontos's heavy turret. Ratchet and Clank manned the turret and brought down several Blargian bombers, and the Plumber rewarded them with a Metal Detector that his grandfather had invented.

Later, during their adventures in the Bogon Galaxy, Ratchet and Clank encountered the Plumber aboard the Flying Lab on Aranos, where he had been called in to unblock a pipe. It turned out that a Captain Qwark Action Figure was blocking the pipe, and he sold it to Ratchet and Clank.

A year later he met Ratchet and Clank once again, this time in the sewers of Aquatos. He was making a necklace for his wife out of Sewer Crystals, and he paid Ratchet and Clank to collect them for him.

While Ratchet and Clank were competing in DreadZone, the Plumber was called to an emergency involving a sump pump in the Rygylian Nebula.

He also appeared in Ratchet's Dreamtime while he was under the knife at Medical Outpost Omega.

In Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, he was in Sargasso created a transportation toilet gizmo where he gives the two heroes a Three & Three Quarters Centicubit Hexagonal Washer. He also said he almost didn't recognize you in high def, this is a joke he said because of the improved graphics.
