Von Clutch is a crazed genius who likes speed and violence so much that he incorporated them into his theme park. He is also a big fan of Crash Bandicoot and has all of his games. Although Von Clutch is a rather jolly fellow and usually means well, he tends to ignore the well-being of his employees by having them work in the park's hazardous conditions without pay. Because of this, he is unpopular among most of those working for him. Von Clutch is also an experienced racer and friends with Pasadena O'Possum.
