Who is this ghost?

Meet Clockwork, a unique Observant and the undisputed master of time and space. Unlike most ghosts, he occupies a neutral, almost heroic position, often working to maintain balance.

What does "Master of Time" mean?

As the Master of Time, Clockwork possesses the ability to perceive any event across the past, present, and future. His ultimate goal is to ensure that all possible timelines unfold in a way that leads to a positive outcome for everyone, even if it goes against the wishes of other Observants.

Should you trust him?

Absolutely. Clockwork holds the keys to understanding nearly any potential outcome, regardless of the decisions you might face. If you're looking for answers that shape your destiny, he's the one to consult. (Unless, of course, you just want to know the future, in which case, you might seek out a certain humanoid gem of fury and patience...)

Clockwork is the ghost who’s the master of time. He sees and knows all events that may or may not come to pass.

== Appearance == He is a violet-cloaked ghost with a pale blue face and a scar across his left eye. A clock-like mechanism is embedded in his chest. Due to his time-based nature, his ghost body constantly switches between 3 different versions of himself: a child form, an adult form, and an elderly form. However, it has never been clear as to whether or not he can control it willingly, if it's just something he does, or whether it is tied to when he reviews the time (past, present or future). The staff he wields, the Time Staff, is a gray rod with one end shaped like an orb and the other end shaped like prongs which support a blue stopwatch. With the push of a button on his Time Staff, Clockwork can stop time, slow it or even send someone back to their own time.

== Personality == As the master of time, Clockwork is a logical ghost who speaks calmly, even under dire situations. Unlike all the other malicious spirits Danny encounters, Clockwork takes a rather neutral role overall to the Danny Phantom world, though Danny sees him as more of an ally. His true motives and plans are a mystery due to his unpredictable nature; yet in the end, Clockwork merely means well in his goals and makes sure time flows along a direction that benefits all, even if the Observants disagree with him.

== Trivia ==

  • Clockwork's constantly changing appearance was an idea from artist Ben Balistreri.
  • Clockwork's name is the term for the inner workings of a mechanical clock. This is appropriate, as he is the ghost of time and his lair resembles a clock tower, not to mention he physically has a glass-covered clock-like mechanism built into his chest.
  • His design, especially in his old form, resembles the Greek god Chronos commonly known in the western world as Father Time, a commonly used personification of time who appears as an old man with a long beard wearing a long hood and holding a staff or scythe.
  • It is implied that he has met with Dark Danny at least once before the events of "The Ultimate Enemy," as he recognized Clockwork's medallion on sight and mentioned that he was "meddling again." According to Dark Danny in A Glitch in Time, Clockwork was the sole ghost strong enough to defeat him, and only just barely.
  • In the official German dubbing, Clockwork is named Zeitgeist. In German, Zeit means "time" and Geist can mean "spirit," "ghost," or "soul," making his name something along the lines of "timespirit" if translated literally. The term Zeitgeist itself means the defining thinking and cultural feeling of a time period in both German and English.
