The Tharpod Elder was a Tharpod that lived in the Tharpod Village in the Aldaros Plains. He met with Ratchet, Clank, Qwark and Nefarious, and told them about Ephemeris, the Creature Collector, and Commander Spog. Ratchet mistook him for being Susie's father; however, he just cared for the orphans in the village, including Susie.
