The Brain Scientist is a character in Ratchet & Clank. He was one of Chairman Drek's blarg scientists on planet Gaspar, who collected telepathopus brains as a hobby to pursue his passion of amateur neuroscience, and to get revenge on his co-workers.

History[]

After a co-worker of his named Darryl stole his tuna sandwich from the company fridge, the Brain Scientist set out on a quest for revenge and sought to harvest as many telepathopus brains as he could to tap into their psychic powers and raise an army of the creatures.

When Ratchet and Clank arrived on Gaspar, the Brain Scientist offered the XK-81 Jetpack in exchange for ten telepathopus brains, and an infobot for Batalia in exchange for twenty more brains. After this, Ratchet and Clank collected up to 90 telepathopus brains, for which he offered a reward in bolts for each brain, and once all were collected, he provided the Box Breaker, which also allows for increased bolt pick-up range.

It is unknown if the Brain Scientist's telepathopus brain experiments were ultimately successful. Regardless, he remained upbeat that he was at least keeping busy.

Ratchet's encounter with the Brain Scientist.

He is a blarg who wears a white lab jacket, a shirt with an image of a brain, a red telescope helmet, and a backpack holding two green canisters containing a green liquid.

The Brain Scientist has an odd obsession with brains, particularly those of telepathopuses. He is made fun of by the other blarg for his hobby, but is not deterred from it at all. Unlike the other blarg, he holds little loyalty to Drek and is primarily interested in his passion of amateur neuroscience.

He claims to have done a lot of difficult things in his life, but by far the most difficult was saying the word telepathopus ten times fast. A feat he believes is impossible.

Richard Horvitz provided the voice of the Brain Scientist.

On the Blarg Tactical Research Station in the Blargian snagglebeast testing facility, and in the weapons testing area on Kalebo III, several blarg scientists use the same character models as the Brain Scientist.

The Brain Scientist's design appears to be based on Stanley, a blarg character in the movie.[2]
