Knuckles the Echinda

Knuckles has been guarding the Master Emerald on Mobius’ only floating landmass, Angel Island, for years. A misunderstanding between him and Sonic (caused by Eggman) led to the discovery of the Master Emerald’s connection to the Chaos Emeralds. Later, he maintained a friendly rivalry with Sonic and always had to get the Master Emerald back from Rouge. Known for being a bit gullible, Knuckles’ heart is in the right place. All those years of isolation made him a bit naive. However, he IS the last of his Angel Island kind. He’s the only surviving member of the Great Echidna House of Edmund. His hobby of treasure hunting (still being pursued to this day) assisted his friends mightily. He’s become friends with the Autobots and assisted them during their second war with the Decepticons. During the Year of Unicron, Knuckles lost an eye, but managed to distract Unicron long enough with Sonic and Tails. Once Unicron and his servants were beaten, Sonic’s mom, Queen Aleena, knighted Knuckles for his service. He then pursued a relationship with Rouge, of all ladies, eventually marrying her. His strength is gonna be needed where the Author is concerned.
