Alonzo Drek

Supreme Executive Chairman Drek, later retitled to Ultimate Executive Chairman, was native to planet Orxon and leader of the Blarg. In the events of Ratchet & Clank, he hatched a plan that began by polluting his own world. Ratchet and Clank killed Drek after battling him on his very own Deplanetizer.

Motive
As a Blarg from Orxon, Drek's success as a businessman quickly led him to the status of chairman of his race. However, driven by greed, he launched a scheme that first involved anonymously polluting his own homeworld, before then invading the other planets of the Solana Galaxy to extract their choicest planetary components, which he would then use to assemble a new planet for the Blarg. While it may have seemed as a noble intention to some, Drek's primary drive was monetary - bolts. Because his people payed him for every square inch of his new world, Drek would make tremendous amounts of money by polluting the new world and forcing the Blarg to buy property on the next one he built.

Allies
While it was already known from the earliest stages of Ratchet & Clank that Drek had immense supplies of Blarg Troopers and such at his side, led by the Robot Lieutenant, it was only until Ratchet and Clank reached the end of Captain Qwark's gauntlet on planet Umbris that they realized that Drek had rallied the so-called superhero at his side. On this planet, Qwark revealed his alliance with the Chairman, explaining that the latter had promised him the role of "official spokesperson" for the new Blargian planet - a promise that, beyond Qwark's realization, could never be kept. However, Captain Qwark's worth in Drek's eye lessened when the former's Blargian Snagglebeast was not able to defeat Ratchet and Clank. Nevertheless, the Chairman offered Qwark another chance to be a spokesperson by ordering him to intercept and shoot down the duo at the Gemlik Moonbase, using his personal starfighter, claiming that the Captain was "too washed-up for ground combat" and trusting more his aerial combat skills. However, with the Pilot's Helmet that he had found on planet Gaspar, the lombax and his sidekick took control of a nearby Blarg ship and shot down Captain Qwark, who crashed on the surface of planet Oltanis. That was the end of Qwark's alliegance to Drek.

Outcome
Once Drek's new planet was completed, he claimed that all that was left to do was to place it in the ideal orbit in the galaxy. At the Bomb Factory of planet Hoven, he organized the construction of the PlanetBuster Maximus, which had for purpose to obliterate the planet that already occupied that ideal orbit. Unfortunately for the chairman, Ratchet and Clank once again managed to stifle his efforts by destroying the PlanetBuster while it was leaving the planet. However, instead of backing down, Drek then lead the creation of the Deplanetizer and announced on HoloVision that it would be used to destroy planet Veldin, which was the planet that currently occupied the chosen orbit for his new Blargian planet. After learning this from Clank's MOM on Quartu, Ratchet and Clank rushed to Drek's Fleet to obtain the coordinates of the whereabouts of the Deplanetizer on Veldin. Ultimately, they met Drek, who had donned a giant mech-suit, and battled him at the Kyzil Plateau. Drek was defeated on the Deplanetizer's platform, before the latter was then used to destroy not Veldin but the Chairman's new planet.

Characteristics
Drek was noted for being very short, even smaller than Ratchet. Therefore, he used his special mech in combat, and preferred to send his Blarg armies to do the fighting for him. He was never seen without his smart suit and tie, and his hair was always tied into an elegant topknot. He had a paler complexion than most Blarg, and blue eyes.

Furthermore, he had a fairly large ego, and promoted himself several times; he went from being Chairman to Executive Chairman, then to Supreme Executive Chairman, and finally Ultimate Executive Chairman.

Trivia
