In high school, Nefarious had been constantly bullied and humiliated at the hands of Captain Qwark, who was 26 years old and three times Nefarious' size at the time. He then became a mad scientist trying to take over the galaxy. Later, Nefarious launched an amoeboid invasion on Blackwater City.
Qwark confronted Nefarious on a catwalk overlooking churning
gears and machinery. , After recognizing him from high school, Qwark threw him off the catwalk , into the spinning gears below. Qwark thought that he had destroyed Nefarious but he survived, although he was forced into being a robot because his body was beyond repair. He since aquired a vicious hate for all organic life and made it his mission to destroy all "squishies" in the galaxy.
Dr. Nefarious is a mad robotic scientist and main villian in Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal. He planned to turn all life into robots with his superweapon, the Bio-Bliterator. Throughout the game he is assisted by his English butler, Lawrence. Through their arguments we learn that Nefarious once tried out in Galactic Idol, singing 'Crushing on Squishies', failing horribly in the process. The tape from his performance is said to be used in prisons for torture. He ultimately failed as he was defeated by Ratchet and Qwark. He, as a last resort teleported himself to a random coordinate. He ended up on a deserted asteroid extremely far from any civilisation.
Often, while under great stress or pressure, Nefarious will lock up, resulting in the audio from various soap operas being played instead. Lawrence is required to smash him on the back of his head allowing him to return to his original state. He and Lawrence also make a brief cameo appearance in Ratchet: Deadlocked, where they are seen gradually approaching Gleeman Vox's DreadZone Station, only to watch it explode right in front of their eyes.
He appears as a floating image in Ratchet's Dreamtime level in Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters, along with other characters such as Chairman Drek and The Plumber. Although he doesnt feature on screen in Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Captain Qwark announces over the PA system in Mukrow Arena, 'Would a Dr. Nefarious please report to the office, we have recovered your wallet'.
He somehow escaped from that asteroid and has now launched a plan to destroy Ratchet and will make his return in Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time where he plans to use time manipulation in his advantage to get his revenge.
In Up Your Arsenal, it was revealed that he and Qwark, who was 26 years old at the time, attended high school together. Qwark would often bully Nefarious, who attmepted to get his own back, but eventually was badly injured, resulting in him becoming a Cyborg. As a result fo these humiliating times, Nefarious built up a strong hatred to all natural creatures, harbouring plans to eliminate all non-robots from the galaxy.
He built a powerful weapon called the Bio-Bliterator, capable of turning all organic life into robots. To help him carry out the war, he recruits an army of Tyhrranoids, well trained but stupid enough to not realise they were under threat aswell. Realising the Q-Force may be try to prevent his plans from coming to fruition, Nefarious hires Courtney Gears to work for him. After Ratchet won in the Annihilation Nation, she knocks out Clank bringing him to Nefarious. He then offers Clank the oppurtunity to rule the galaxy with him, though he refuses and manages to escape. Gears, who seems to be romantically interested in Nefarious,also kidnapps Skidd McMarxx, allowing them to test the Bio-Bliterator on him.
Allowing the Big Al to track down a transmission, Nefarious sets up a trap, rigging the Starship Levithian with explosives. Ratchet and Clank manage to escape and find him just about to launch the Bio-Bliterator, resulting in a final battle. At the end of the fight, the Bio-Bliterator malfunctions, but Nefarious and Lawrence manage to teleport to a nearby asteroid, escaping death. While there, Lawrence reveals that they are unlikely to come across any planets for anywhere between 5 and 10,000 years, causing him to lock up.
In the epilogue of Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest For Booty, Dr. Nefarious makes a brief, yet comical entrance - falling over Lawrence's duster. It is revealed that the Zoni have requested his assistance in fixing the now malfunctioning Clank, though its not known whether they are in alliance with him. Presumably, he will be the villain for the next Ratchet and Clank Future game.
The Antagonist of Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal. He hates all organic life and is pro-robotocism alone.

Qwark after Nefarious' butler Lawrence saved him, and they imprisoned him in a secret facility. Qwark managed to escape to his hideout on the Thrann Asteroid, where he hid until Nefarious allegedly disappeared. He was secretly making plans for his next attack.
