==History==
===Background===
Knuckles was born into an unknown Echidna Tribe to an unnamed father. Their clan had been at war with the mysterious Owl Clan over the control of the Master Emerald. 
On the day that Sonic fled Earth, Knuckles said farewell to his father, who hunted down and planted to capture Sonic for his powers and the hedgehog's adoptive mother, Longclaw, for their search for Master Emerald's whereabouts. Unfortunately, his father, clan mates and Longclaw all perished in battle. This left Knuckles alone, orphaned and resentful. Without his tribe, Knuckles became the last surviving member of the Echidna Tribe.

With Longclaw's death, Knuckles sought Sonic out, who was the "key" to finding the Master Emerald. However, as he scoured the universe, Knuckles was attacked by unknown, mysterious scavengers until he recruited them in his mission to find Sonic. 
Meanwhile, Knuckles' scavengers tracked down Tails, who was also looking for Sonic. As the scavengers targeted Tails, Knuckles reprimanded them and told them that they were tracking the wrong person. He said there was other places that Sonic could be hiding. Little did he know, Sonic was already living on Earth during Knuckles' search, where he was eventually adopted by the Wachowski family.
