Biker One is a character in Going Commando. He is a member of Thugs-4-Less and the leader of the Desert Riders, a hoverbike gang based in Vukovar Canyon on planet Barlow.

History

Biker One's membership card, used by Ratchet for temporary entry to hoverbike races.

Prior to being a Desert Rider, Biker One did not fit into any social circles, due to his low self-esteem, bad breath, and obsession with ladies' undergarments. He did, however, fit in better with the Desert Riders, believing that they understood him, and he appeared in an ad alongside Biker Two. Biker One eventually became the leader of the gang.

The biker pretends he can only hear Clank.

Ratchet and Clank encountered him during "Find the Desert Riders", when his hoverbike, Bluebell, was malfunctioning. After brief hostilities with Ratchet, the biker became friendly to Clank and offered to let them use Bluebell for a race if they repaired it. After doing so with an Electrolyzer, Ratchet and Clank competed in a three-lap race around the canyon and won. The biker granted Clank a biker helmet to signify that he was "one of us", then allowed the two to view a telescreen broadcast from his boss, the Thug Leader, who revealed the location of a Thugs-4-Less employee meeting in the Feltzin System, which the two used as a lead in finding the Unknown Thief.

Biker One later appeared in Deadlocked, being featured in a Vox News report alongside Biker Two, in which Juanita Alvaro tied them to Ratchet for being involved in "illegal hoverbike gangs", using a forged image by Gleeman Vox, excluding any context.

Characteristics

Concept art.

Biker One, unlike the other Thugs-4-Less members who are of the same reptilian species from Snivelak, is more similar to a big anthropomorphic dog. Being overweight and of a plump figure, he wears a vest to cover his body, along with a black jacket. Barbed wire tattoos are seen on his arms, circumscribing the upper areas of both. He also has poor dental hygiene, having made reference to both bad breath and bugs in his teeth.

Biker One is very socially awkward, and unlike other Thugs-4-Less members, he is quick to drop the threatening pretense, becoming upset when threatened. He has admitted to his low self-esteem, and referred to his own "sensitivities" that few people understand. He appears to be fearful of yelling, as he was frightened by Ratchet's yell to intimidate him into leaving Clank alone, yet he rationalized the Thug Leader's yelling at him as a sign of love.
