Knuckles is one of the diligent warriors chosen
to guard the Master Emerald, the most valued treasure of the Angel Island
Echidnae. The Master Emerald contains magic so powerful that someone who were to
use its energy would be able to rule the world!!! ... plus it keeps the Island
afloat in the air, so I think the people living on it would be kinda' miffed if
it were stolen.
Anyway, as for Knuckles, he's a very quiet, stoic,
well-read sort; though he does tend to see humans as bumbling fools and can
quickly become more than a little aloof about his "proud and noble" race. He is
a master of martial arts, and has more strength in his small body than one could
ever imagine.
Serious-minded and highly intelligent, Knuckles doesn't
suffer fools well. As mentioned before, he quickly becomes frustrated at the
stupidity of humans, and he utterly loathes Sonic. Knuckles tolerates Luigi and
does his best to be an upstanding role model for Tails, considering what a poor
excuse Sonic is. Knuckles wouldn't mind Daisy so much, in fact he is impressed
by her tenacity, but he HATES how she treats him like some common mindless
animal! It's SO infuriating! It's a good thing his patient and kind-hearted
"close friend" Princess Tikal is around to keep Knuckles cool or he'd probably
snap.
(Hey, you'd be stressed out too if you had his
job!)
