Over time, he developed "long-term amnesia", causing him to completely forget his previous life. Some time later, Qwark fled from Bogon and returned to the Solana Galaxy to live in exile on Planet Florana, where he bonded with a native tribe of cycloptic monkeys, even making one of them his companion and naming him Skrunch. After Ratchet defeated the giant mutant Protopet, Angela fixed the Helix-o-morph and used it to neutralize the Protopets as punishment, Qwark was assigned to work for Megacorp as a test subject on their newest product, the "Crotchitizer".
He tries to neutralize the original Protopet's destructive tendencies with Angela's invention, the Helix-o-morph, rendering the copied Protopets harmless and thus restoring his ruined reputation his plan failed when he accidentally put the batteries for the Helix-o-morph in backwards this caused the original Protopet to mutate into a ferocious monster and devour Qwark. After recovering the Protopet, Qwark revealed his plan to mass-produce clones of the Protopet so he could manufacture a galaxy-wide crisis throughout Bogon, intending to frame Ratchet, Clank, and Angela for the disaster using Megacorp's broadcast system. Determined to restore his reputation, Qwark travelled to the neighboring Bogon Galaxy where he kidnapped Megacorp founder/CEO Abercrombie Fizzwidget, locked him in a supply closet, and used a sophisticated disguise to impersonate Fizzwidget in order to hire Ratchet and Clank to recover the Protopet, a failed Megacorp project that had been stolen by Angela Cross (posing as the "Thief") so she could destroy it. After escaping from prison by flushing himself down a prison toilet during the events of the second game, Qwark managed to lay low for six weeks and re-adopted his alias as Steve McQwark before continuing to sell more Personal Hygenator units to unsuspecting customers, which he used to finance his comeback. Qwark refused to pay for the damages and tried to flee to Planet Pokitaru two days later but was immediately recaptured and placed in prison awaiting trial. He was then brought before a galactic court, which ordered him to pay 6 billion bolts to those suffering from Personal Hygenator Syndrome. Having crash-landed on Planet Oltanis, Qwark adopted the alias "Steve McQwark" and resorted to selling gadgets which he claimed were genuine Gadgetron products, such as the PDA (Personal Delivery Assistant), and later the Gadgetron Personal Hygenator.įollowing the discovery of a key defect in the Hygenator which caused severe irritation in sensitive body areas, Qwark's true identity was exposed and he was quickly denounced as a fraud and a disgrace to Solana for previously working with Drek. After Ratchet and Clank started interfering with Drek's plans, Qwark tricked them into believing he would help take down Drek and lured the duo to his private training facility on Planet Umbris, where he left them to die in a pit holding a vicious Blargian Snagglebeast after the duo defeated the Snagglebeast, Qwark travelled to the Gemlik Moonbase and used a starfighter provided by Drek in an attempt to kill Ratchet and Clank himself, only to be shot down after a fierce battle. Unbeknownst to many of his fans, Qwark was also egocentric and greedy to the point of making a secret deal with Chairman Drek to be the spokesperson for the new artificial planet Drek was building, even though he knew that Drek was harvesting other planets and terrorizing their inhabitants to do so.
