Thermanator scientist
From Ratchet & Clank wiki
The Thermanator scientist was the inventor of the Thermanator in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. He was frozen in ice when Ratchet and Clank first met him.
Many years ago, this scientist was employed by Gadgetron at their facility on Barlow in the Bogon Galaxy. He eventually invented the Thermanator, which could freeze or liquefy any liquid substance. He likely froze himself with it by accident as he tested it, and was one of the few Gadgetron employees left behind when the company abandoned its facilities in Bogon.
The scientist was freed by Ratchet as the latter was exploring the facility ruins. He, apparently unaware that he had been frozen for so long, declared his invention a success and sought to display it to his bosses. Therefore, he was stunned to hear that Gadgetron was long gone and replaced by Megacorp. He then sold Ratchet the Thermanator for a moderate price. Still eager to continue his experiments, he left to see if Megacorp was hiring.
