==History==
===TV series===
====Season one====
When Knuckles was about to leave the Floating Island to help Sonic, Manic and Sonia stop Dr. Robotnik's Chaos Emerald-powered Fortress of Altitude, Athair appeared before Knuckles in a vision and warned him not to leave the Floating Island right now, as doing so would destroy all of Mobius. As Knuckles asked him if there was another way so that he could both protect Mobius and help his friends, Athair remarked that it was possible to change the future this way, but noted cryptically that it depended on Knuckles' decision, before disappearing.
Later on, Knuckles, Sonic, Manic and Sonia came to Athair, seeking his help on how to contain the chaos energies from a lost broken Chaos Emerald, which threaten to destroy the planet. Having already seen and sensed the events transpiring, Athair provided Knuckles and his friends with a canister to contain the broken Chaos Emerald and its energies. However, he revealed firmly that to save Mobius, they had to make an alliance with Robotnik, as he knew somehow that Sonic befriended another Robotnik from an alternate Mobius before.
After Knuckles and his friends succeeded in containing the broken Chaos Emerald by allying with Robotnik as Athair predicted, they returned to give him the Emerald fragments for safekeeping. Athair, however, declined, since it was Knuckles who was meant to guard them on the Floating Island. Sonia then thought Knuckles would join the resistance now, but Athair told her that Knuckles' duties were to the Floating Island, like Sonia and her siblings' duties were to the resistance and to the Hedgehog Dynasty.
==Physical appearance==
Athair is an anthropomorphic echidna with red fur that covers most of his body, peach skin on his muzzle, and black eyes.
For attire, Athair wears a sky blue ancient robe with blue thick lines on top and down, green-lensed glasses with grey frame, red shoes with grey soles and yellow stripes, and two spiked knuckles on each hand exactly like Knuckles'.
==Personality==
Athair is very wise, and never wrong. He is rather serious and breaks no argument when he makes a decision. However, he possess a little sense of humor and thinks well of his great-grandson and his friends. He is also very good friends with the Oracle.
==Trivia==
*His voice sounds just like that of late actor Sean Connery.
*Athair is named after the Irish word "Athair", that of which is sometimes used as an alternative word for ancestor.
