[edit] Main characters

[edit] Jak

Mike Erwin	Damien Boisseau	Shōtarō Morikubo

Main article: Jak (Jak and Daxter)

Jak is the main playable character of the Jak and Daxter series. He and his companion Daxter have starred in a total of four games together.

[edit] Daxter

English voice actor	French voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Max Casella	Xavier Fagnon	Teiyū Ichiryūsai

Main article: Daxter (Jak and Daxter)

Daxter is an Ottsel who sticks with Jak through thick and thin. Throughout the first three games, Daxter was considered to be the "sidekick" of the series until he proved himself a hero at the end of Jak 3, with a snazzy pair of pants to boot. Daxter is sometimes mistreated by some others, including Jak, but Daxter manages to find peace with Tess, his one true love. Of course, Jak would really be nothing without Daxter, for when Jak was imprisoned in Haven City, Daxter manages to rescue him(as seen in Daxter's PSP game). Most of all, fans love Daxter for his incredible sense of humor. Many look forward to what this little hero will do in the future.

[edit] Keira Hagai

English voice actor	French voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Anna Garduño Tara Strong (Jak 3)	Sophie Arthuys	Sylvia Steiner	Kyoko Hikami

Keira is very good at mechanics and was originally Jak's love interest in the first two games an fouth. In the first game, she is the sassy and smart daughter of Samos Hagai, the Green Sage. In Jak II she is a racing mechanic at the Mar Memorial Stadium. Hidden behind a curtain, Jak and Daxter are not aware that Krew's racing client is their good friend Keira. After they finally reunite, she is initially put off by the drastic change in Jak's personality since she last saw him, causing tension between the two. However, by the game's end, they are back together, she apparently having come to terms with his changes. Her role in Jak 3 is much smaller, being only in a few scenes. Plus, her role as Jak's love interest is replaced by Ashelin, causing much controversy among gaming fans. However, at the end of the fourth game, Jak X: Combat Racing, she reasserts her position as Jak's girlfriend. In the end scene, as she and Jak go to kiss each other, Daxter interrupts with the traditional "Hey!" that he has used to interrupt their kiss at the end of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy and Jak II. However, when they glare at him, he says, "Will you kiss her already?" They then proceed to do exactly that in what Daxter calls "a photo finish".

Keira is credited with creating the Zoomer from her earlier creation of the A-Grav zoomer.

In Jak X: Combat Racing, Keira is 18 years old, making her 14 years old in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, 16 in Jak II, and 17 in Jak 3. It seems that in each game, she has a much different appearance.

[edit] Samos Hagai

English voice actor	French voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Warren Burton	Marc Alfos	Michael Lucke	Ichirō Nagai

Samos Hagai is the Green Sage and a key figure in the Freedom League. Born in Haven City many years ago, he led the Underground movement against Baron Praxis while going under the alias of "The Shadow." When the Metal Heads attacked Haven City several years prior to Praxis' death, only Samos was able to keep them from taking over the entire city; instead, only Dead Town was destroyed. Samos looked after the Kid, the younger version of Jak, alongside Kor, believing him to be the lost heir to the city. When Mar's tomb was discovered by Jak, Samos, along with Tess and Kor, was thrown into the Fortress' jail, where he met his older version, who had come from about four centuries in the past through a Rift Gate along with Jak, Daxter, and Keira. The two Samoses often bickered, and Jak and Daxter eventually bring young Samos the Life Seed, a seed that was stored in Samos' hut in Dead Town for years. After receiving the seed, Samos becomes sagely and develops the ability to speak to the plants. So actually, it was Jak and Daxter who helped Samos become the Green Sage, and Daxter, after learning this, says to older Samos, "...and you never thanked us?!", to which an annoyed older Samos says, "Thank you, Daxter". At long last, when Kor was finally defeated, the young Samos realized that he had to take young Jak back in time a bit more than four hundred years to look over him, so that Jak could eventually come back to the future and defeat Kor, allowing the time cycle to continue.

In the past, the young Samos became the Green Sage and watched over Jak in Sandover Village. He also fathered his daughter, Keira, although Keira's mother is is unknown. After many adventures, Jak discovered the Rift Gate that would eventually take him, Daxter, Samos, and Keira into the future again, back to Haven City. Upon arriving in the city, he is thrown into prison and eventually meets his younger version. After making sure his younger self becomes sagely and that he and the kid travel back in time to Sandover Village, he continues to watch over Jak.

In Jak 3, he is a key member of the Freedom League who is more concerned with the mystery of the Dark Makers and Erol's return than with the war. After meeting the Precursors in person, he is embarrassed to see they are simply ottsels, and that he spent his entire life searching for them. In Jak X: Combat Racing, he just gives wisdom to Jak and Daxter.

In the PSP game, Daxter he voices the prologue and stated that "as great as Jak was he would never have achieved what he did without his faithful, yet often forgotten, companion, Daxter." This is also ironically one of the only nice things he's ever said about him.

[edit] Other characters

[edit] Ashelin

English voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Susan Eisenberg	Susanne Grawe	Yu Asakawa

Ashelin is the sassy, tough-as-nails daughter of the deceased Baron Praxis and she was once a leader in the Krimzon Guard along with Erol in Jak II. Although she fought alongside the Krimzon Guard, she supplied information to the Underground since she had no real love for her father's ways and wished that Haven City could be a better place. After her father's murder by Metal Kor, she became the Governor of Haven City, and she founded the New Krimzon Guard, which later became the Freedom League. At this stage, she seemed to be flirtatious with Torn, saying that she was "dying to see him dance." One year later in Jak 3, when Haven City became a battlefield between the Krimzon Guard, the Freedom League, and the Metal Heads, she fought to bring Jak back to the city after he was banished by Veger to the Wasteland. Soon after Jak arrived back in the city, she disbanded the City Council and deprived Count Veger of any command. Interestingly, Ashelin seems to display more interest in Jak around this time, even sharing a passionate moment with him after he defeated Erol's Terraformer. When the heroes were tricked into taking part in a combat racing championship in Jak X: Combat Racing, Ashelin quickly developed a tense rivalry with Rayn, believing that she was in on Krew's plan. She seems back on track in her relationship with Torn, and it is still not known what exactly persuaded her to devote her attention to Jak in Jak 3.

Ashelin is never seen without her old Krimzon Guard uniform and her handgun which she uses in combat. She also has her own special HellCat Cruiser, which doesn't seem to be restricted to the two hover zones as all other air vehicles are, since it can fly high above and even outside of the city.

In Jak X: Combat Racing, Ashelin is 24 years old and 6 feet tall (two inches taller than Jak at the time).

[edit] Brutter

English voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Alan Blumenfeld	Hiroshi Iwasaki

Brutter seems to lead the remaining Lurkers in Haven City in Jak II. He has a fish restaurant in the bazaar of the city. He twice sends Jak and Daxter to rescue the Lurkers that the Krimzon Guards have captured. He is somewhat disrespected by Jak and Daxter due to his being a Lurker, but he seems to be unaware of this. In fact, Brutter seems to like Jak and Daxter, at one point kissing Daxter, and at another giving them a piece of the Seal of Mar as a present. Near the end of the game, Brutter earns some respect from Jak and Daxter, when he provides a flying balloon for them to send the Rift Rider to the Metal Head nest. Brutter appearently joined the Freedom League after Jak II, since Ashelin calls him "Captain" Brutter at the end of the game.

There is no explaination given for why Brutter is absent from most of the following games, but it is likely that he died when the Baron's palace was destroyed, especially since the palace went down to the bazaar, where Brutter's restaurant is. Another possible theory is that Brutter returned to the Lurker village in the Dig, where he used to live. If that's the case, Brutter probably only stayed in Haven city to rescue his fellow Lurkers in the first place

In the game Daxter, Brutter owns a fish cannery in Haven City port. He is notably the only NPC character from Jak II to also appear in this game and directly interact with Daxter. This is perhaps only because Brutter's friendly attitude in Jak II suggested that he already knew Daxter.

[edit] Creatures

• Dark Makers: The Dark Makers are a mysterious alien race who have conquered many worlds before becoming bent on the destruction of Jak's planet. Their technology is impressive, being able to build huge machines such as the Terraformer and the Dark Maker Ship (called the "Day Star" by Seem). They have an unknown link to the Metal Heads, and, according to the Ottsel Leader, the Dark Makers were once Precursors, but they were tainted by Dark Eco and became twisted. Erol, resurrected as a cyborg after his crash in the previous game, struck a deal with them, since he was also obsessed with the idea of destroying the world. Erol and his Terraformer were destroyed by Jak. Now all of the Dark Makers are destroyed now. Some fans have proposed a theory of a connection between the Dark Makers and the Metal Heads. It is possible that the Metal Heads were some sort of techno-organic bioweapon created by the Dark Makers in order to wage war against the Precursors long ago. In Jak 3, Jak tells Erol that the Metal Heads made some sort of deal with the Dark Makers and came to regret it. Also, in Jak II, the Precursor Oracle grants Jak with powers to control his dark side, by defeating their enemies, the Metal Heads.

• Marauders: The Marauders are a race of nomads that have even been banished from Spargus, itself a home for rejects. Residing in a fortress to the south of the Wasteland, they frequently cause trouble for the citizens of Spargus, attacking its gates and vehicles with their own machines. They have adapted to the harsh desert climate surprisingly well, but they are a wild people who will attack anyone without prejudice. Marauders also appear to live in the frozen Icelands, although these are most likely not from Spargus.

• Metal Heads:
  

  

  Metal Head Brute
  Very little is known of the Metal Heads, their origins, or their society. What is known is that, millennia before the games, they waged a destructive war with the Precursors (who called them the Hora-Quan, presumably their native name). Driven by Metal Kor, the Metal Head Leader, they destroyed the Precursor civilization. They invaded Jak and Daxter's world when Jak, Daxter, Keira, and Samos the Sage opened a Rift Gate that launched them into the future at the beginning of Jak II. Eventually they overran the world so effectively that only a few cities existed by Jak II. The Metal Heads established a huge nest within sight of Haven City, hoping to seize the city and gain the Precursor Stone, which is actually the last Precursor egg (though revelations in Jak 3 seem to negate this). Kor managed to infiltrate the city to disrupt it. By making a deal with Krew, a local crime boss, the Metal Heads gained access to the city through the underport. Eventually, Kor reveals himself to Jak and Daxter, who travel to the nest with the Precursor stone and, in a final confrontation, kill Metal Kor, severing his gigantic head and putting it up as a trophy in the Naughty Ottsel, Krew's former bar. By Jak 3, the Metal Heads have managed to reorganize under their strongest members, even gaining a foothold in Western Haven City and building a gigantic hive tower. Jak 3 also seems to hint at some sort of past relationship between the Metal Heads and the Dark Makers, but this has not been elaborated on, and it is not said how Jak, the person who first stated this, found out. The Tower was destroyed in a mission. The Metal Heads had a very little appearance in Jak X, seen in a single event, and the words "Metal Head" are never actually said. They are most likely regrouping once again. The Metal Heads are seen in the Daxter PSP game, during their initial invasion of Haven City. In this game it is revealed that Kor had a second in command named Kaeden who, like Kor, was capable of speech and transformation. The Metal Heads seem to have maintained an endless war with the people of Jak's planet, having destroyed an unknown number of cities and evidently eating the inhabitants. The cities of Haven, Spargus, and Kras are the only known cities that weren't destroyed, and the Metal Heads see Haven as the main target. Metal Heads are very diverse in size and physiology. Many of them appear insectoid, while others seem more reptilian (there are even aquatic Metal Heads). Metal Heads have two or four eyes. They seem to be techno-organic, as many are equipped with lasers, jets, energy shields, rockets, and cloaking devices. All Metal Heads have what is called a "skull gem" in their foreheads or chest, presumably the source of their name. In Jak II, the skull gems were needed for Jak to gain new Dark Eco abilities from the Oracle. The insectoid appearance of many Metal Heads, as well as the use of the terms "hive" and "nest," leads many fans to believe that the Metal Heads possess some sort of hive mind or collective conscious. However, this is not confirmed in the games. They reproduce by laying eggs, which are grayish in color and have a yellow skull gem in the middle. Several times in the game(s), Jak is sent to blow up these nests. The eggs can also be found stuck to cave or steel walls with some kind of webbing. Also, if the eggs are in pools of Dark Eco, they will grow stalks. Metal Heads seem to feast on both Dark Eco, a powerful form of energy in the series, as well as the flesh of whatever they can find. This desire for Eco and meat could be a reason for the Metal Head Leader's obsession with the Precursor Stone.
• Oracles: The Precursor Oracles are ancient Precursor artifacts commonly found in far off places. They speak, but are supposedly pre-recorded, as the Precursors barely exist by the time Jak finds them. They range in height from seven to around 70 feet, and all speak in the same voice (although in Jak II it is a different voice from Jak 3). There is a little twist at the end of Jak 3, when one of them inadvertently opens, and reveals the Precursors to be nothing more than ottsels. One could find it confusing how such large things can be made by two-foot-tall "rats," to which ottsels are commonly referred. In Jak & Daxter, the Oracles were voiced by Michael Gollam, and from Jak II onward, by Richard McGonagle.

• Ottsel: An ottsel is a fictional hybrid of a weasel and an otter. Ottsels stand between two and three feet in height, and are most commonly orange and yellow in coloration. Daxter is the best example of an ottsel. As a running joke, ottsels, though rarely seen, are often subjects of jokes, including the idea of creating coats or foods out of them. In a surprise twist near the end of Jak 3, ottsels turn out to be the fabled Precursors in the Jak and Daxter mythology. So it was seen as a blessing that Daxter became an ottsel and others accidentally followed suit. Tess and Veger become ottsels near the end of the game; Tess due to wishing she had the same pants as Daxter, and Veger when he wished to become a Precursor, not yet knowing that they were ottsels.

• The Precursors: The Precursors were an ancient race in the Jak and Daxter universe. They are the equivalent of gods and created all planets and all life, according to the mythology of the inhabitants of Jak's planet. They created giant robots to show their power and their followers crafted statues to illustrate what they thought the Precursors looked like, although their ideas are now known to be terribly inaccurate. Precursors had the ability to grant people power in exchange for valuables. In Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, their origin and fate were partially explained. Precursor Orbs could be found which were remnants of their civilization, which was used as currency. Correct translation of the runes in the border around the game manual map explains partially more. The Precursors showed themselves as Oracles, beings with large noses like trunks. Even two Precursor robots were discovered, the second of which was modified by Gol and Maia Acheron. In Jak II, they granted Jak Dark Eco powers in exchange for Metal Head skull gems. It was revealed that the Precursors were all but wiped out by the Metal Heads, and their sole hope of survival was the Precursor Stone, which was said to be the last Precursor egg. Jak 3's story revealed this to be false, a shocking twist near the end of game reveals that the Precursors were ottsels (in a scene very similar to the revelation of the wizard in The Wizard of Oz), and Daxter's curse was really a blessing. Count Veger and Daxter's girlfriend, Tess, were also transformed into ottsels. Count Veger had wanted to evolve into a Precursor and was horrified to find out they were ottsels, but got transformed anyway.

[edit] Cutter

Cutter, a real enigma on the Mizo team, this masked driver's origins are unknown. Some say Cutter once lived with the Marauders in the Icy North. Others say he was born in a mental asylum in Kras City and somehow escaped.

[edit] Damas

Damas is one of the secondary characters in Jak 3. Damas was once king of Haven City until Baron Praxis usurped the throne and exiled him to the Wasteland. To make things worse, Damas' son, Mar, was taken by Count Veger, a Precursor scientist.

In the Wasteland, Damas managed to gather the people surviving out there and formed a new city, Spargus, in the desert. Damas led Spargus as an independent state, but continued to keep an eye on Haven City through the use of spies. Years of surviving in the desert hardened his heart and he finds it necessary for others to possess a warrior spirit like his own.

Years later, in answer to an old Wastelander distress call, he would come across a young man, alongside an ottsel and a moncaw. The moncaw, Pecker, would quickly talk his way into serving as a mouthpiece for Damas, and the man and his ottsel, Jak and Daxter, he would test repeatedly by sending them out on various dangerous missions. Over time, Damas began to grow to respect Jak, even when he showed his defiance in refusing to battle Sig to the death. Eventually, Damas himself would come to Jak's aid in assaulting the Dark Makers attacking the planet, riding to the rescue in his personal buggy, the Slam Dozer/Ram Rod, and accompanying Jak in fighting his way into the enemy citadel.

As they stormed the inner tower, however, a shell fired by the Dark Makers overturned the Ram Rod, crushing Damas under its weight. His last request was for Jak to find his son, Mar. Damas died never knowing that Jak was Mar, having been sent back in time so that he would be old enough to fight the Metal Head Leader and the Dark Makers when they came.

[edit] Erol

Main article: Erol

[edit] Edje

A member of Mizo's gang in Kras City, Edje loves speed and he is always pushing his vehicles to the limit. He is especially skilled at using Blue Eco turbo, and is a tough target to hit. He also knows that the best defense is a good offense, and he is a skilled mine-layer too, making him one of Kras City's most feared racers.

[edit] G.T. Blitz

G.T. Blitz is Kras City's racing commentator. His father was once one of the greatest racers on the planet until he was killed during a race.

Throughout the game, Blitz reports on the racing events and gives Jak the odd hint about the sport. Partway through the game, Blitz gains a co-anchor, Pecker, who greatly annoys him, especially when the moncaw begins to relate to the viewers about Mizo's involvement in the sport.

At the end, it transpires that Blitz is in fact Mizo in disguise and he races Jak through Kras City. But after Jak defeats him, Mizo is killed in a huge explosion.

He is 38 years old.

He is voiced by Phil LaMarr.

[edit] Gol Acheron

Gol Acheron is the Sage of Dark Eco. Over the years, Gol and his sister Maia studied the ways of Dark Eco in secrecy. Over time, the Dark Eco corrupted them, turning them to the dark side. It was revealed that he may have been able to restore Daxter to his original form. Gol was killed alongside Maia when the four Sages pooled their powers together to create Light Eco, and Jak destroyed the Precursor Robot that Gol was piloting.

[edit] Jinx

Jinx is an explosives expert, who used to work for Krew. He's a street-wise, sarcastic guy who loves to blow things up. In Jak II, Jak and Daxter were given the task of escorting Jinx, along with Mog and Grim, to the statue of Mar in the sewers where Jinx blew up the statue, taking the Heart of Mar artifact back for Krew. A year later, in Jak 3, he has joined up with the Freedom League, and he joins Jak and Daxter on a few missions. Most crucially, he steals a Krimzon Blast Bot, which Jak uses to destroy the barrier separating the Industrial Zone from the Slums, and therefore re-uniting the Freedom League. He usually refers to Jak as "Jakky boy."

English Voice Actor: Cutter Mitchell

[edit] Kaeden

Kaeden is Metal Kor's right-hand man and the main antagonist of Daxter. Like his master, he was able to slip into Haven city disguised as a human. He focused on getting rid of the bug exterminating companies of the city. The only company he didn't confess to close down was the "Kritter-Ridder Exterminating company" owned by Osmo. After trying to threat Osmo, he blew the exterminator shop to bits, but failed to kill Osmo. He then recieved orders from Kor to stop Daxter in rescuing Jak from the KG fortress. He went there in person and fought Daxter in his Metal Head form, but was defeated, and warned Daxter that his master (Kor) would be waiting outside the fortress then after that he dropped dead. He is 123 years old in Jak X.

English voice actor: Phil LaMarr

[edit] Klaww

Klaww was a huge Lurker that was sent by Gol and Maia Acheron to attack Rock Village and prevent anyone from getting through the Mountain Pass. He had the ability to create and throw 30-ton flaming boulders, which he used to attack the village. He easily beat the local Warrior, resulting in the Warrior's deep melancholy. He was only seen in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, where he was killed by Jak.

[edit] Kleiver

Kleiver used to work for Krew, although he ended up in the Wasteland through unknown means. He unofficially became Damas' right-hand man, looking after Spargus City's garage and the range of vehicles in it. He is a skilled racer and it pains him to give up one of his vehicles to someone else. His personal favorite vehicle is the Dune Hopper. When he first met Jak and Daxter in Jak 3, he disliked them, and considered Daxter as a potential meal, but he came to respect them as he appreciated their racing talent. When Veger was made into an ottsel, Kleiver forcefully made him his sidekick. Later, in Jak X: Combat Racing, Kleiver arrives in Kras City, sans Veger, to get another chance to beat Jak on the circuit, but he is once again defeated. In Jak X, Jak remarks that Kleiver doesn't do anything for free. Kleiver also seems to have an Australian accent.

In Jak X: Combat Racing, Kleiver is 51 years old, and 50 on Jak 3.

[edit] Kor

English voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Sherman Howard	Hiroshi Naka

Kor, also known as Metal Kor, was the Metal Head leader for eons. Unlike most Metal Heads, he was capable of transformations and human speech. Many eons ago, he led the Metal Heads in a war against the Precursors, seemingly destroying them and their civilization. The Metal Heads then disappeared, only reappearing through the Rift Gate opened by Jak at the beginning of Jak II. They then destroyed much of the "old world," and the legendary hero Mar created Haven City to protect people and, more importantly, the Precursor Stone, from Kor. Obsessed with the Precursor Stone, calling it the "last Precursor egg," he posed as an old man and joined the Underground, looking after the kid, who was later revealed to be a younger version of Jak. His sidekick Kaeden also posed as a human, aiming to destroy Osmo's exterminator business while Kor focused on getting the Precursor Stone. Baron Praxis aimed to stay in office by bribing Kor with Eco, but Kor's secret deal with Krew allowed him to get through the city shield and kill Praxis. He was later killed at the nest by Jak, when he attempted to escape through the Rift Gate, which severed his head. His head is currently hanging in the Naughty Ottsel bar. Through most of Jak II, Jak and Daxter believed he was on their side but when they saw him, outside the construction site surrounded by Baron Praxis, he revealed himself to be the cold-hearted, sadistic, and venomous Metal Head Leader.

[edit] Krew

English voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
William Minkin	Maio Hassert	Chafūrin

The extremely obese Krew was a major crime lord in Haven City, with all the factions of the Metal Head Wars possessing ties to him. It was revealed he was associated with Baron Praxis and Metal Kor, but later betrayed Praxis. It is unknown as to what exactly the Metal Heads rewarded him for his treachery. He built a piercer bomb so the Baron could open up the Precursor Stone, but was left to die by Jak when he activated his bomb after a brawl. As for the Metal Head Leader, he used Mar's ruby key to open a door in the underport which opened a flood gate for a bunch of Metal Heads. In Jak X, it is revealed he had left behind a daughter and will; however, the gifts left in the will were poisonous, and the characters from the previous games had to race for the antidote. During Jak X, Daxter always shrieked and backed away from the Krew hologram because he was still grotesque.

Krew's use of antigravity devices to support his weight is reminiscent of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen from the Dune series.

[edit] Maia Acheron

English voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Jennifer Hagood	Yōko Sōmi

Maia Acheron was the sister of Gol Acheron, the Sage of Dark Eco, and, like her brother, was also warped by Dark Eco. She shared her brother's desire to flood the world with Dark Eco and rebuild it to their liking, and the two of them recruited the Lurkers to help them scavenge the parts to a Precursor Robot, the only thing capable of opening the Dark Eco silos. She and Gol, inside the robot, were defeated by Jak when he channeled a beam of White Eco at them, and their cockpit sunk into the silo which it killed them. Maia only appeared in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.

[edit] Mar

Mar is the founder of Haven City and legendary hero, a statue of him resided in Haven's sewers, before it was blown up by Krew's boys to get a jewel lodged in the face. This jewel was called the Heart of Mar and was required for the Rift Rider.

Jak's birth name is Mar, however there is a large amount of debate about whether or not Jak is the original Mar, he was a direct descendant of the original Mar or he was simply named after Mar.

[edit] Mizo

Mizo does not appear until near the end of Jak X. All that is established about his character before is that he is a major crimelord and a rival of the deceased Krew.

In the Kras City tournament, Mizo hires top racers Edje, Cutter, and Shiv to work for him, as Mizo's henchman Razer says, "eventually everyone does."

In the final tournament, Mizo reveals himself to be none other than race commentator G.T. Blitz and steals the poison antidote from the gang. Jak hunts him down and Mizo is killed in a large explosion.

English Voice Actor: Phil LaMarr

[edit] Onin

Onin is a wise old soothsayer who, at the time of Jak II, lived in a tent in the bazaar in Haven City. She is blind and mute, but she communicates through hand movements which are interpreted by her moncaw, Pecker. She can also create small magic spells. Even while Jak was imprisoned in the Fortress as part of the Dark Warrior Program, Onin saw that Jak was somehow "special." She knows much about the world, and is the only one able to sense Kor's true identity as the Metal Head Leader. During the time of Jak 3, Onin moved her hut to the Slums and joined the Freedom League, where her wisdom once again served Jak well.

[edit] Osmo Drawers

Note: Osmo's last name can be assumed to be "Drawers", because it is known that it was his father's father's last name.

Osmo is the owner of Haven City's the Kritter Ridder Extermination Company in Daxter . The company has been in his family for generations, founded by his grandfather, Ozmar Itchy Drawers III. He employed Daxter (or rather, tricked him into working for him) for a few months before Daxter was able to save Jak from prison. He has an ancient Zoomer that he calls "Old Betsy" that still uses propellers. It is unknown what happened to him after the events of Daxter, but he did pay a visit to the Naughty Ottsel after Jak and Daxter defeated Kor. Osmo is the father of Ximon. Although the two of them are rarely seen together, Osmo seems to be disapointed in Ximon, referring to him as his "no good son of mine". He is 87 years old in Jak X.

English voice actor: Dana Kelly

[edit] Ottsel Dummy

Ottsel Dummy is one of three Precursors, which are revealed to be ottsels, seen in Jak 3. He is the least intelligent of the trio, questioning Ottsel Leader's wisdom and looking very goofy.

[edit] Ottsel Leader

Ottsel Leader is the leader of the Precursors. He is the most intelligent and sophisticated out of the three Precursors seen in Jak 3, and it is he who seems to voice the Oracle through a digitally enhanced microphone. He also gave Daxter his pants, and transformed Tess and Veger into ottsels.

[edit] Ottsel Surfer

Ottsel Surfer is one of the three Precursors seen in Jak 3. He appears to be second-in-command after Ottsel Leader. He talks in a stereotypical "surfer-dude" accent, and his mannerisms are very similar to those of a typical surfer.

[edit] Pecker

English voice actor	French voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Chris Cox	Pascal Renwick	Peter Wenke	Wataru Takagi

Pecker is a Spanish-accented moncaw (half monkey, half macaw) who served as an interpreter for the blind and mute soothsayer, Onin. He has little regard for Onin's words, often twisting them to his preference and summing things up in a disrespectful manner. He and Daxter have a rivalry from the very start, often fighting and yelling obscenities at each another. In Jak II, he is simply Onin's interpreter, but in Jak 3, he joins Jak and Daxter out in the Wasteland and briefly becomes Damas' advisor before returning to Onin in Haven City. In Jak X: Combat Racing, Pecker becomes a co-presenter on the Kras City Racing Championship with G.T. Blitz, who is annoyed by Pecker's loud-mouthed attitude. He and G.T Blitz appear in frequent comical cutscenes where they are fighting for the attention of the cameras. Pecker is also an unlockable racer later in the game. He is 118 years old for some reason on Jak X.

[edit] Baron Praxis

English voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Clancy Brown	Hans Mittermüller	Daisuke Gōri

Praxis is the ruthless ruler of Haven city in Jak II, and the father of Ashelin. He imprisons Jak in the beginning of the game, and uses him as a project for his "Dark Warrior program", an experiment to make mighty warriors to defeat the Metal Heads, who are threatening the city. After keeping Jak in his fortress for two years, Daxter frees him. Jak is obsessed with getting revenge on Praxis and thus joins the undergroung movement. Eventually, he finds out that Praxis is giving the Metal Heads dark eco in return for their co-operation. Later, Praxis gains possesion of the Precurser Stone, and attemts to blow the Metal Head nest with it, not understanding that this would destroy the universe. Before he can succeed, he is killed by Kor.

In Jak 3 it is revealed that Praxis first came to power in Haven city by betraying its former leader, Damas, and banishing him to the Wasteland.

He is seen very briefly in one scene of Daxter.

[edit] Razer

Razer is a character from Jak X: Combat Racing. Razer is a retired champion racer and Mizo's most important henchman. He loves to taunt Jak about his own racing prowess but is defeated in the Final Championship Race.

Razer's accent is a topic of debate among fans. Individual assertions about its origin include French, German, Dutch, and Russian.

Razer drives a Javelin X. Razor is also a joke to EA's game Need for Speed: Most Wanted, where the last boss is named Razor.

Razer is 31 years old on Jak X.

[edit] Sage: Blue

The Blue Sage is the descendant of the original Sage appointed by the Precursors. He is a master of Blue Eco, an electricity-like substance that grants speed and conductivity. The Blue Sage was captured by his former friend Gol Acheron and was forced to power Gol's Precursor robot. He is apparently a genius inventor, but he appeared very nervous and jittery, speaking extremely quickly (much like his Blue Eco mastership) and confusing Daxter greatly. He was rescued by Jak and together with the other sages, created White Eco.

[edit] Sage: Red

The Red Sage is the descendant of the original Sage appointed by the Precursors. He is a master of Red Eco, a red gooey-like substance that grants the user great strength. The Red Sage was captured by his former friend Gol Acheron and was forced to power Gol's Precursor robot. He was one of the friendlier Sages and lived in a volcanic crater. When he was rescued by Jak, he mistakenly presumed that Daxter was the one who had rescued him and gave him all the credit. He and the other Sages then worked together to create White Eco.

[edit] Sage: Yellow

The Yellow Sage is the descendant of the original sage appointed by the Precursors. He is a master of Yellow Eco, a bright fiery substance that allows the user to shoot boiling hot balls of energy from their hands. The Yellow Sage, like all others before him, was captured by Gol Acheron. He is the grouchiest of the sages and was intent on making a snack of Daxter. On his back he carries a blaster that presumably shoots Yellow Eco from its barrel. He along with other sages were rescued by Jak and worked together to create White Eco.

[edit] Seem

Note: Seem's gender is hard to determine, due to her voice and appearance, but the commentary says 'she'. Still, the Jak 3 website claims she's a male. It is unclear what her gender is.

Seem is a Precursor monk living in the Wastelands outside Haven City. As s/he is not fond of outsiders, she is distrustful of Jak and Daxter when they first meet. Seem was preoccupied with the arrival of the "Day Star" which she thought would cause the end of the world. Seem is very knowledgeable in the ways of the Precursors and even knew what they really looked like. Seem originally thought that Jak would make things worse by trying to stop the Metal Heads and Dark Makers, but eventually realized he might actually be able to save them.

She was originally scripted to die in the siege of the Precursor Mountain Temple by the Dark Makers, but her death was cut from the final version of the game.

[edit] Shiv

Born on the streets of Spargus, this former Wastelander is one of the toughest combat racers on the track. Shiv earned deep respect and fear with his lighting quick moves and surprise kills. He is noticeable because he is heavily tattooed and has severed ears.

[edit] Sig

English voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Phil LaMarr	Peter Wenke	Jōji Nakata

Sig is a Wastelander who first appeared in Jak II. He was Krew's supposed right hand man, occasionally helping Jak in his missions. His last mission for Krew was opening a door in the Underport; unfortunately, this was a trap set up by Krew and Metal Kor to infiltrate Haven City. Almost swarmed by Metal Heads, he was rescued by Jak but presumably killed by a Metal Head, although it was revealed in the end he had survived.

In Jak 3, it is revealed that he was sent to Haven City as a spy, trying to find Damas' missing son, Mar, who had been captured by Veger before Damas' exile. He and Jak were sent on suicide missions to toughen them up after Damas decided that Sig had gone soft from years of living in Haven City. He is also called back to Haven to assist in handling the heavier missions set by the Freedom League. In the final cut scene of the game, Sig takes Damas' place on the throne of Spargus City; as such, it is assumed that he is Damas' successor, and the new leader of Spargus.

In Jak X, he joins in on the racing action in an attempt to help Jak and the others win the championship and gain the antidote for the poison from Krew's henchmen.

In Jak X he is revealed to be 28 years old, making him 26 during the events of Jak II and 27 in Jak 3.

[edit] Taryn

Taryn is a mysterious woman who helps Daxter around killing bugs. She mostly only upgrades Daxter's bug spray. She doesn't really like Daxter (his liking for women seems to annoy her), but changes her attidute to him when he proves his skills in exterminating bugs. She usually just disappeares after giving Daxter upgrades. She hides her small liking for Daxter well, after giving him a spray upgrade, she comments "I don't know why I'm helping you". She is 18 years old.

[edit] Tess

English voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Britton A. Hill	Gabi Franke	Yumi Tōma

Tess is an Underground supporter, first seen in Jak II. Tess and Daxter seem to like each other a lot and is one of the few females to like Daxter better than Jak. She is also very courageous, helping on the front lines in whatever way possible. She works at the Hip Hog as a barmaid, a ruse to gain Krew's secrets.

In Jak 3, Tess works to create new guns for the war effort, notably the Gyro Burster (Yellow Gun 3) and the Plasmite RPG (Red Gun 3). At the end of the game, she makes a remark about wanting a pair of pants like the pair the Precursors give Daxter. The Precursors decide to grant this request in a creative way by turning her into an ottsel, which makes her and Daxter very happy.

Her role is very small in Jak X, appearing only in her ottsel form in a 10-second cut scene that is purchased in the Secrets Shop, an obvious joke to the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" scandal.

[edit] Torn

English voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Cutter Mitchell	Michael Betz	Rikiya Koyama

Torn makes his first appearance in Jak II as the second-in-command of the Underground rebel group fighting against Baron Praxis, topped only by "The Shadow" (Samos) in rank. Although he may appear gruff and angry at the start of the game, he slowly warms up to Jak as you complete the tasks he gives you. At one stage in the game, he sells Jak and Daxter out in order to save Ashelin from possible assassination at the hands of her father, Baron Praxis. This, along with his attitude when speaking of her and his actions in her presence, reveals her as his possible romantic interest.

In Jak 3 he is the leader of the Freedom League, and seems much warmer toward Jak than in Jak II; however, his dislike and/or annoyance with Daxter is as obvious as ever. You first encounter Torn at the Naughty Ottsel, Daxter's bar, which he has converted into a Southern HQ for the Freedom League after he and some of his followers were stranded at the Port, following a failed suicide mission set up by Veger. He shifts back to the Freedom League Headquarters after Jak brings down the barriers set up by Veger, and resumes command from there. He is shown participating in one mission set by Ashelin, which was to blow open the Metal Head nest.

In Jak X: Combat Racing, Torn is still with you and he is just as steely as ever. He has little contact with the majority of characters beyond Ashelin, though his interactions with Jak suggests that they have finally developed a friendship or companionship of sorts. His relationship with Ashelin is certified in this installment.

In Jak X he is 30 years old, making him 28 in Jak II and 29 in Jak 3.

[edit] UR-86

With steely nerves and lighting quick reactions, UR-86 is the deadliest driver on the planet. A former Krimzon Death-Bot, this bad-to-the-bolts racer holds the record for most kills in a single race, and now works for Mizo and Razer. He is defeated by Jak in the Grand Prix race of the first cup.

[edit] Count Veger

Count Veger, first seen in Jak 3, is the Power Broker for the Grand Council of Haven City. At the start of Jak 3, he officially banishes Jak to the Wastleland. When Jak and Daxter arrive back in the city by way of the Precursor subrails, Veger reveals that he was the one who destroyed the Palace, which caused Jak's exile, and attempts to stop them by activating a giant Precursor robot. In the end of Jak 3, he steals away the right of evolving into a Precursor from Jak. Seconds later, it was revealed that Precursors are really ottsels, so Veger was reluctantly transformed into an ottsel. He is now the companion of Kleiver, who has decided that he wants a sidekick.

Although he does not appear until Jak 3, Veger is arguably the "main villain" of the trilogy as he, alongside Kor, was responsible for most of the events that happened to Jak during his life (separation from his father, exile into the Wasteland, and subsequent torment throughout Jak 3).

Count Veger also appears in Daxter in one scene when he is talking to Erol, trying to convince him to use Light Eco in his experiments instead of Dark Eco. He also devised the pejorative name "Eco-freak" which both he and Erol used to refer to Jak.

[edit] Vin

English voice actor	German voice actor	Japanese voice actor
Rob Benedict	Walter Jauernisch	Hiroshi Yanaka

Vin is the bumbling, mumbling, jittery chief engineer of Haven City and charged with keeping the Eco Grids online, which keeps the Metal Heads out of the city. Because of the stress of his job, he has a jumpy and paranoid nature, which Daxter often uses to add to the comedy of the story. Jak first meets him when Torn tells him to save Vin at the Strip Mine. Vin is supposedly killed by Metal Heads when Kor deactivates Haven City's shield walls (allowing a Metal Head invasion). In Jak 3, it is discovered that Vin dumped his brain into the city's Eco Grid before being killed by the Metal Heads, thus giving him immortality as a virtual being. As he is confined to the lab walls, he does not make an appearance in Jak X.

Vin helps Jak in Jak 3 by sending Daxter into a game to collect a cypher to unlock the war factory doors.

[edit] Ximon

Ximon is Osmo's son and another pest exterminator. He has a generic surfer accent, often saying words such as "dude", and he is extremely laid-back. He has a Scooter, which he lent to Daxter during Daxter and he also flies his own hover vehicle. He believes that Jak is Daxter's sidekick. He is 22 years old in Jak X.
