Clockwork (Danny Phantom)

Clockwork, also known as Zeitgeist, is a character from the Danny Phantom series.
== Charactah Account ==
The ghost of time, Clockwork keeps the flow of time and interferes when he feels something is disturbing said flow. He is mysterious and powerful, knowing every aspect of time: past, present, and future.
Clockwork remains a neutral influence in Danny's life, playing only by his rules. He doesn't perceive time as a linear sequence of events; this is reflected in his appearance, which constantly fluctuates in age.
Clockwork's 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.
* Clockwork's 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 Clockwork has met with Dark Danny at least once before the events of "The Ultimate Enemy," as Dan recognized Clockwork's time medallion on sight and mentioned that he was "meddling again."
* 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.
