Rick Sanchez (voiced by Justin Roiland) – A genius, sociopathic, emotionally abusive, very dismissive, narcissistic, self-centred, incredibly intelligent and alcoholic mad scientist who is the father of Beth Smith, father-in-law to Jerry Smith and the maternal grandfather of Morty and Summer Smith.

His alcoholic tendencies lead his daughter's family to worry about the safety of their son Morty. The series is often retroscripted for Rick’s lines. He displays “diagnosable qualities of various mental illnesses”.

An extremely intellectual character that views his time as valuable, he disparages the usefulness of many ordinary human conventions such as school, marriage, and even love, though he displays genuine affection towards his grandchildren and daughter throughout the series.

His reaction to the mundane requests asked of him by Morty and other family members suggests he considers himself wholly superior to them, though in several instances throughout the series he shows a lonelier side.

He frequently ‘burp-talks’ words in the middle of a sentence while speaking, presumably as a result of his alcoholism.

He is identified by the r/CitadelOfRicks as the Rick Sanchez of Earth Dimension C-137.

In The Wedding Squanchers, Rick alongside Squanchy and Birdperson were revealed to be freedom fighters against the Galactic Federation who labeled them terrorists with warrants for their arrest. In order to guarantee the safety of his family, Rick leaves a tip on where he can be found as he surrenders to the Galactic Federation and is incarcerated in one of their prisons.

In The Rickshank Rickdemption it is revealed that Rick actually turned himself in, in a scheme to destroy the Federation’s economy; when the Council of Ricks interferes, Rick also takes the opportunity to take down the Council of Ricks. Rick also orchestrated “sending” Jerry away for his earlier attempt to convince the family to turn him into Federation custody, and making Rick “the de-facto patriarch of the household”. However, Rick's attempt at driving Jerry away was unsuccessful, resulting in a diminished role in the family.

The character was inspired primarily by Emmett Brown from [Back to the Future](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_the_Future_(franchise%29).
