text: Chairman Alonzo Drek Ultimate Supreme Executive Chairman Drek (first name "Alonzo" in the 2016 game) is the oppressive, greedy, misanthropic and sadistic CEO of Drek Industries and dictator of the Blarg race, not to mention the first main villain faced by Ratchet & Clank and thus a pivotal antagonist in the series. He is also responsible for purposely polluting his home planet Orxon (Quartu in the 2016 reimagining), so that he can profit from building a new planet, but he doesn't deny himself unnecessary sadism to enjoy and unnecessary to his main goals (like destroying all the remaining plants on planet Eudora after fulfilling the necessary quota of trees for New Orxon because the inhabitants don't need to enjoy them, bombing Batalia and polluting Pokitaru for apparently no reason, and ordering his troops to destroy anything that either moves and doesn't move on Oltanis and to have fun in doing so, not to mention his comments off-air about what he really cares of the people of Solana and their goodness). He is also supposedly the former archenemy of Clank, since not only Drek is mainly though indirectly responsible for Clank's creation and tried to kill him from the very first moment he escaped from the Blarg robot factory on Quartu, but he also didn't waste time during the final battle on Veldin to tell Clank how disappointed he was for betraying him, admitting also it was a real shame because Clank was a potential and useful resource for Drek's plans of planetary destruction and conquest.
  In his review of Ratchet & Clank, Gavin Frankle of Allgame stated that Chairman Drek's scenes (along with Captain Qwark's) proved to be more entertaining than those of the main characters.
