Angela Cross

Angela Cross, also known as the Unknown Thief (盗賊マスク: Tōzoku masuku) is a Lombax who first appears in Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando. At first, she serves as the main antagonist, but following the take-over of her Flying Lab by Thugs-4-Less, she is forced to work alongside Ratchet and Clank.

Angela is voiced by Kath Soucie in the English version, and by Yuki Masuda in the Japanese version.

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Angela makes a small camero appearance in her thief outfit in the cinema scene at the end of Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal.

Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Angela herself does not appear, but she is mentioned on the radio. It's revealed here that's she's been missing for almost three years, and was last spotted fleeing in Max Apogee's ship, which was later found in Kerchu City; this may imply that Apogee and Angela might have used the Dimensionator to escape to wherever the Lombaxes escaped to. She is also revealed to be a Lombax, and that female lombaxes don't have tails.

The Ratchet & Clank Trilogy
In the manual that comes with the PAL version of the game, Angela reappears, quotting that's been a long time since she last appeared. She said she had fun in the second adventure and hopes that they can do it again one day. Ratchet does not seem to trust her, however. This may imply that she is alive and well, and didn't escape to the Lombax Dimension with Max Apogee, but this has yet to be confirmed. The guide also comments that she is, indeed, a lombax.

Species Controversy
Since her introdution, fans have been questioning about whether or not Angela is a Lombax. In Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, it is said that only two of them stayed behind: a guardian and his infant son. This confirms that Angela is not a Lombax.

However, the release of A Crack in Time retcons this by revealing Angela to be a Lombax, though she has been missing for nearly three years. Like Ratchet, she was being hunted by Emperor Tachyon, and was last seen fleeing to Kerchu City in Max Apogee's ship, implying that they both fled to the Lombax Dimension. This could explain why she wore her Thief Costume to the opening of the lastest Secret Agent Clank film; to protect herself from Tachyon.
