Mr. Klink, later known as Warden Klink, was a minor character in the *Ratchet & Clank* comic series, appearing in Friends with Benefits and Lost and Spaced. He was a robot who served in Artemis Zogg's ministry during Zogg's tenure as defense minister of the Polaris Galaxy, and later became the warden of Zogg's Vartax Detention Facility prison in the Artemis Galaxy.
Mr. Klink was originally part of the Galactic Panel of Interstellar Know-it-alls, a team working on the Helios Project in Meridian City, Igliak. He idolized Zogg, describing him as a visionary,[1] and faithfully served Zogg's newly established administration after Zogg seceded from the Polaris Government.[2]
After Zogg lost the election for Galactic President to Qwark and the Helios Program was terminated, Mr. Klink joined Zogg's crusade. Zogg ordered Klink to gather the site's worker bots and meet him at the Vartax Outpost, located just beyond the Corvus Sector at an abandoned robot factory.[3]
As Warden, Mr. Klink oversaw the facility where Ratchet, Clank, and General Glahm were imprisoned. He was first seen broadcasting messages to the prisoners.[4] Following Ratchet's fight with General Glahm, Mr. Klink intervened to have them executed by ejecting them into space through the sector nine airlock,[5] citing Zogg statute 35-77.[6] When Cronk and Zephyr arrived to help Glahm and Ratchet escape, Mr. Klink denounced them as traitors for not siding with Zogg and made another attempt to have them killed.[1]
As Ratchet, Clank, Cronk, and Zephyr escaped, Artemis Zogg expressed his disappointment in Mr. Klink. Despite Klink's pleas and reminders of his loyalty, Zogg had him ejected from the same airlock he had previously tried to use on Ratchet and Glahm.[2]
Mr. Klink was ultimately executed by Zogg for his failure to stop the escape of Ratchet, Clank, General Glahm, Cronk, and Zephyr, as well as numerous other inmates.
