The Tick-Tock Man is the leader of the Grays. He is the great-grandson of David Quick, the man who led a group of outlaws into Lud. Tick-Tock appears to be part human and part robot because of his super human strength. Also, when Jake shoots Tick-Tock his skin peels like wallpaper showing that he is possibly not fully human. This Tick-Tock man is obsessed with clocks. This is shown by the fact that he wears a clock around his neck. He also asks Jake if he can have Jake's Seiko wristwatch. The Tick-Tock man hopes that Jake can teach him how to control the numerous computers that control the entire city of Lud. By being able to work these computers, Tick-Tock would have complete control of the city.
