Ratchet's father was the best tool-and-die man in Buffalo. In his workbay he can make anything from a pin to a missile. He could repair any technology, given the right parts, and if the right parts weren't available, he could usually just fabricate them. A young Ratchet was always by his father's side in the shop, learning everything there is to know about machining and fabrication. He joined the Army for the college money, but when he discovered the kinds of challenges that vehicle and equipment mechanics can face in the field, the armed forces had his heart for good. Battle conditions often require them to improvise, and Ratchet loves to improvise. He can field-strip an engine in no time flat and scavenge spare parts to make a new one if he needs to.

"Ratchet always has a good time, in the field or at barracks. He likes to party, sometimes too much, and is prone to a bit of backtalk, but he does his job as well as anyone. He figures he's only getting one go-around, so he might as well enjoy it."
