The hero, chosen by the Precursors to protect the world. He has amazing eco-channeling powers. Due to two years of torturous Dark Eco experiments at the hands of Baron Praxis, he has a monstrous alter-ego called Dark Jak. However, he has been blessed by the Precursors with Light Eco, therefore balancing him out. He can be angry and violent at times, but he is a hero at heart.

The sidekick, at least at first. His ego is enormous, and he is always telling tall tales, mostly about his adventures with Jak, although he stretches the truth to make him seem like the hero. His friends seem to like Jak better than him (for the most part), but they just can't resist his unique charm... though he still irritates them to some degree. Most consider him to be a nuisance and a coward, but they're wrong (well, at least about the coward part). He has matured over the years and doesn't flirt as often as he used to, and he is extremely loyal to his friends.

A gifted mechanic, inventor and racer, Keira is an invaluable help. She invented the Zoomer way back in ''The Precursor Legacy'' and the Jet-Board in ''Jak II''. She is courageous, kind and independent, though she has exhibited some jealousy whenever a rival for Jak's affections shows up. She's not a fighter in a "bash-your-skull-in" sense, but she's willing to get out on the track and blow things up.

The Sage of Green Eco and one of the wisest men on the planet (if he does say so himself), he acted as a father figure for Jak and Daxter. He applauds Jak's heroism while scolding Daxter's ridiculous antics, though he does realize that Daxter is a big help to Jak. He is very protective of Keira, his only child, but he seems to be getting over his letting-go issues. He is absolutely enthralled with the mystery of the Precursors.

This ex-Krimzon Guard commander was a part of the Underground, a resistance movement against Baron Praxis. Since Praxis was overthrown, the Underground has disbanded, and he is now a commander for the Freedom League--the Krimzon Guard's replacement--and an advisor to Ashelin. He is normally calm, cool, and collected, but he also has a hint of rage in his personality that tends to come out when he's anxious. While he at first was distrustful of Jak and Daxter, they both eventually earn his respect.

The daughter of the late Baron Praxis is a fiery redhead that takes nothing from nobody. She is now the Governor of Haven City. She has always relied solely on herself, and doesn't like to trust her life to anyone else, but once Jak and Daxter entered her life, she found herself making more friends.

This Wastelander is the proud owner of the Peace Maker. He hunts Metal Heads for fun and uses their trophies for his armor. This hardcore fighter has a sensitive side, but it's well hidden from outsiders. He's more than ready to rumble, especially if his friends need help. When Jak impressed him with his sharp-shooting, it signals the beginning of what becomes a good friendship. He even seems to respect Daxter, once complimenting his story-telling prowess.

This monkaw is wise, but at times can act like an idiot, and occasionally he's a little perverted. He's cowardly, only looks out for himself, and is constantly changing alliances. Despite this, he is a good guy through and through. He has habit of talking for other people, perhaps from his job as Onin's interpreter, which can get annoying. A rather odious individual, he often twists Onin's words to his own liking, summarizing them in an impolite manner. He and Daxter share a strong rivalry from the moment they meet onward, getting into word-wars that sometimes escalate into fist fights (though we never see them on-screen. Darn). The main reason? It's probably that they're too alike.

However, in a battle with Jak and Daxter, it was accidentally set to explode, and detonated seconds after Ashelin picked them up, incinerating Krew and the Weapons Factory.

This lurker owns a trinket stand in the bazaar, and tried to free his lurker brethren from captivity. After the Metal Head Leader is killed, he becomes Captain of the new Krimzon Guard (until the KG went under Errol's control). He also owns a fish cannery, and Daxter met him when on the job before he got around to releasing Jak from prison. His current whereabouts are unknown.

Not much is known about this pyromaniac, except that he's a smoker and he loves explosives. He appears in only three missions, one in Jak II and two in Jak 3. In Jak II, he worked for Krew and with the help of Jak and his pals Grim and Mog, retrieved the Heart of Mar gem. In Jak 3, he destroys some power boxes in the KG area, and he also captures a KG Blast Bot.

Latest revision as of 19:24, 15 September 2023


Characters from Jak and Daxter include:

Main Characters

Jak

"Let's go topside and see what kind of trouble we can get into."

Voiced By: Aaron Lohr (The Precursor Legacy), Mike Erwin (Jak II - Combat Racing), Josh Keaton (The Lost Frontier)

The hero, chosen by the Precursors to protect the world. He has amazing eco-channeling powers. Due to two years of torturous Dark Eco experiments at the hands of Baron Praxis, he has a monstrous alter-ego called Dark Jak. However, he has been blessed by the Precursors with Light Eco, therefore balancing him out. He can be angry and violent at times, but he is a hero at heart.

Daxter

"Nobody hurts MY best friend and lives to brag about it."

Voiced By: Max Casella

The sidekick, at least at first. His ego is enormous, and he is always telling tall tales, mostly about his adventures with Jak, although he stretches the truth to make him seem like the hero. His friends seem to like Jak better than him (for the most part), but they just can't resist his unique charm... though he still irritates them to some degree. Most consider him to be a nuisance and a coward, but they're wrong (well, at least about the coward part). He has matured over the years and doesn't flirt as often as he used to, and he is extremely loyal to his friends.

Keira

"I can win it all!"

Voiced By: Anna Garduno (The Precursor Legacy and Jak II), Tara Strong (Jak III - The Lost Frontier)

A gifted mechanic, inventor and racer, Keira is an invaluable help. She invented the Zoomer way back in The Precursor Legacy and the Jet-Board in Jak II. She is courageous, kind and independent, though she has exhibited some jealousy whenever a rival for Jak's affections shows up. She's not a fighter in a "bash-your-skull-in" sense, but she's willing to get out on the track and blow things up.

Samos

"Be watchful of those in front of you, but beware of those behind."

Voiced By: Warren Burton

The Sage of Green Eco and one of the wisest men on the planet (if he does say so himself), he acted as a father figure for Jak and Daxter. He applauds Jak's heroism while scolding Daxter's ridiculous antics, though he does realize that Daxter is a big help to Jak. He is very protective of Keira, his only child, but he seems to be getting over his letting-go issues. He is absolutely enthralled with the mystery of the Precursors.

Torn

Voiced By: Cutter Mitchell

This ex-Krimzon Guard commander was a part of the Underground, a resistance movement against Baron Praxis. Since Praxis was overthrown, the Underground has disbanded, and he is now a commander for the Freedom League—the Krimzon Guard's replacement—and an advisor to Ashelin. He is normally calm, cool, and collected, but he also has a hint of rage in his personality that tends to come out when he's anxious. While he at first was distrustful of Jak and Daxter, they both eventually earn his respect.

Ashelin

"Keep talking and I'll raise your voice a couple of octaves."

Voiced By: Susan Eisenberg

The daughter of the late Baron Praxis is a fiery redhead that takes nothing from nobody. She is now the Governor of Haven City. She has always relied solely on herself, and doesn't like to trust her life to anyone else, but once Jak and Daxter entered her life, she found herself making more friends.

Tess

Voiced By: Britton A. Hill

This member of the Underground specializes in gun design and runs the shooting range. She was sent to spy on Krew, so she worked in his bar, where Jak and Daxter met her. She's courageous, feisty and willing to help on the front lines however she can. She's a true-blue blonde, absolutely in love with cute fuzzy things, especially Daxter, and seems to believe all of his outlandish tales.

Sig

Voiced By: Phil LaMarr

This Wastelander is the proud owner of the Peace Maker. He hunts Metal Heads for fun and uses their trophies for his armor. This hardcore fighter has a sensitive side, but it's well hidden from outsiders. He's more than ready to rumble, especially if his friends need help. When Jak impressed him with his sharp-shooting, it signals the beginning of what becomes a good friendship. He even seems to respect Daxter, once complimenting his story-telling prowess.

Pecker

"Birds do not school. They flock. So flock off!"

Voiced By: Chris Cox

This monkaw is wise, but at times can act like an idiot, and occasionally he's a little perverted. He's cowardly, only looks out for himself, and is constantly changing alliances. Despite this, he is a good guy through and through. He has habit of talking for other people, perhaps from his job as Onin's interpreter, which can get annoying. A rather odious individual, he often twists Onin's words to his own liking, summarizing them in an impolite manner. He and Daxter share a strong rivalry from the moment they meet onward, getting into word-wars that sometimes escalate into fist fights (though we never see them on-screen. Darn). The main reason? It's probably that they're too alike.

Onin

Onin is a blind soothsayer that speaks in hand gestures, interpreted by Pecker, who sits in her bowl-like hat. She is very wise, but sometimes "speaks" in riddles. She seems to be as omniscient as one can possibly be, knowing who Jak was and Kor's secret, among other things.

The Precursor Legacy

Gol and Maia

"Enjoy your front-row seats to the re-creation of the world!"

Voiced By: Dee Snider and Jennifer Hagood

The reason you shouldn't play around with Dark Eco, Gol Acheron and his sister Maia are the villains of the first installment.

Jak II

Baron Praxis

Voiced By: Clancy Brown

The ruthless, tyrannical ruler of Haven City. Ashelin's father.

Erol

Voiced By: David Herman

The commander of the Krimzon Guard and Praxis's right-hand man, this ruthless KG was the best racer in the city until Jak came along. During a race against Jak, he drove into a month's supply of Dark Eco, presumably killing him. He returns in Jak 3 as a cyborg working with the Dark Makers to destroy the world.

Kor

Voiced By: Sherman Howard

This wise old man is a member of the Underground and guardian of The Kid. He was the first person Jak met upon his escape from prison. He's really quite a nice fellow, and - ha ha, no. He's the Metal Head Leader in human disguise.

The Kid

The long lost heir to the throne of Haven City, this adorable child doesn't go anywhere without his pet crocadog, who likes no one but the boy. This child is more than he seems.

Krew

Voiced By: Willliam Minkin

This Jabba the Hut look-alike ran the Hip Hog Heaven Saloon (now Daxter's Naughty Ottsel). He was also a gang lord in Kras City before he came to Haven. He was obsessed with weapons and built the Peircer Bomb, strong enough to crack open the Precursor Stone. However, in a battle with Jak and Daxter, it was accidentally set to explode, and detonated seconds after Ashelin picked them up, incinerating Krew and the Weapons Factory. He comes back to haunt Jak two years later.

  • The Chessmaster: In Jak II, he's manipulating the Underground, the Baron AND the Metal Heads for his own profit: He's giving the Underground information about the Baron's dealings with the Metal Heads in return for favours, among which he has Jak retrieve the ruby key from the statue of Mar. The key he uses to sell the entire city out to the Metal Heads by opening a tunnel to the city through the underport. However, at the same time, he's helping the Baron building the Piercer Bomb and planning to use it along with the Precursor Stone to destroy the Metal Head nest, suggesting that he didn't really plan on letting the Metal Heads take the city.
  • Companion Cube - Krew likes weapons a little (okay, a lot) too much.
  • Evil Brit
  • Fat Bastard
  • I'm a Humanitarian - The credits for Jak 2, where the characters speak like they're actors. Krew proudly says he "slimmed down" to 520, for his role, and it was thanks to his personal trainer. Krew then admits that he ate him, as if it were a slip in his otherwise strict diet.
  • Obi-Wan Moment - When he's left behind with the set-off Piercer bomb, he just mutters a calm: "Oh, well."
  • Posthumous Character - In Jak X.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning
  • Vader Breath
  • Villainous Glutton
  • Video Wills / The Tape Knew You Would Say That - Krew's holographic will in Jak X

Vin

"Actually... ah, ahh, I think everybody's trying to kill me!"

Voiced By: Robert Patrick Benedict

This computer whiz is paranoid of everything and suffers from Hora-quanophobia (fear of Metal Heads). He works for the Baron as the foreman of his eco-mining operations, but he relays information to the Underground.

Brutter

Voiced By: Alan Blumenfeld

This lurker owns a trinket stand in the bazaar, and tried to free his lurker brethren from captivity. After the Metal Head Leader is killed, he becomes Captain of the new Krimzon Guard (until the KG went under Errol's control). He also owns a fish cannery, and Daxter met him when on the job before he got around to releasing Jak from prison. His current whereabouts are unknown.

Jinx

Voiced By: Cutter Mitchell

Not much is known about this pyromaniac, except that he's a smoker and he loves explosives. He appears in only three missions, one in Jak II and two in Jak 3. In Jak II, he worked for Krew and with the help of Jak and his pals Grim and Mog, retrieved the Heart of Mar gem. In Jak 3, he destroys some power boxes in the KG area, and he also captures a KG Blast Bot.

Jak 3

Count Veger

Voiced By: Phil LaMarr

Count Veger is obsessed with "destroying all shadows" and likes everything neat and tidy, but just can't accept that life is messy. He strongly distrusts Jak and his Dark Eco abilities and was the reason Jak was banished to the Wasteland. In some ways, Veger really means well (or so he claims), but he's doing things the wrong way and for all the wrong reasons. In the end, through a rather odd series of events, he becomes an ottsel, and Kleiver's sidekick.

Damas

Voiced By: Bumper Robinson

"In the unforgiving Wasteland we value strength and survival above all."

The king of Spargus City, the home of refugees who were cast out of Haven City and left to die. Before being betrayed by Baron Praxis, he was the leader of Haven City. He also happens to be Jak's father.

Kleiver

"This Wastelander is gonna waste you!"

Voiced By: Brian Bloom

Damas's second-in-command and the self-described "guy who runs Spargus". He immediately develops an unpleasant rivalry with Jak upon meeting him.

Jak X

Rayn

Voiced By: Jeannie Elias

Rayn is Krew's daughter in Kras City and the heir to his criminal empire. She befriends Jak after they are poisoned by the toast in the late Krew's honour. Too bad she was never poisoned to begin with and was really manipulating Jak into helping her take over Mizo's criminal empire.

G. T. Blitz / Mizo

Voiced By: Phil LaMarr

"How does he keep that shine in his hair? I must know!"

G. T. Blitz is the less than pleasant announcer for the Kras City races. His father was one of the best racers on the planet before being murdered by the Kras City crime lord Mizo Blitz would know, since he is secretly Mizo and murdered his own father as revenge for leaving him for races every day.

Razer

Voiced By: David Herman

A champion racer turned street thug working for Mizo.

The Lost Frontier

Captain Phoenix

Voiced By: Robin Atkins Downes

The leader of the Sky Pirates, and the first antagonist Jak meets upon reaching the Brink. He spends his time stealing eco from anyone who crosses his path, and tries to steal the eco right out of the heroes Hellcat. He and Jak fight, but he escapes while their ship crash-lands on an island. It turns out his real goal is to prevent The End of the World as We Know It, and stop Skyheed.


Klout

Voiced By: Brian Bloom

Captain Phoenix's right hand man, and the muscle of the Phantom Blade.

Duke Skyheed

Voiced By: Phil LaMarr

The monarch of Aeropa, he offers Jak and the gang protection from the pirates. His main goal is finding the Eco Core, the source of all the world's eco to try and save the world. The truth is he's only trying to find the Eco Core so he can control all of the world's eco, and rule over the entire planet... Or destroy it if things don't go his way. He's also responsible for the Aeropa's Dark Warrior Program.

Chancellor Ruskin

Voiced By: Chris Cox

Skyheed's right-hand man. He immediately takes a dislike to Jak and Daxter, and makes them prove themselves worthy of protecting the Eco Seeker, the only device capable of finding the Eco Core. Even then, he still doesn't trust them. As it turns out, he was well aware of Skyheed's plan all alway, and was secretly helping Jak the entire time.


Tym

Voiced By: Phil LaMarr

An Absent-Minded Professor who spends his time building robots on an island that Jak crash-lands on. He repairs Jak's ship, and joins him on his quest for the Eco Core. He's actually the Dark Eco Sage who headed the Aeropa Dark Warrior Project.
