==Summary==
The Brotherhood of Guardians is an organization run by Knuckles’ Ancestors in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics.
A Guardian’s main duty is to watch over the Chaos Emerald (later the Master Emerald) so the Floating Island does not fall. The Brotherhood’s purpose is to safeguard the Echidnas from outside forces like the Eggman Empire or their own kind seeking power like the Dark Legion. The duty is passed from father to son, and on and on and on, maintaining a status quo of peace and prosperity for the island, with the assistance of the Fire Ants.
Over the course of the story, through trials of great sacrifice, the members dwindled till the Brotherhood was no more, leaving their last surviving descendent, Knuckles, to remain as the last Guardian.

The Brotherhood's ancestors, including the rest of organic life, evolved their physical strength to fight Mammoth Mogul's almost limitless power gifted by the Chaos Emerald's infinite energy.Sonic & Knuckles: Mecha MadnessMogul refers to a single Pre-Harmony Chaos Emerald empowering him as ‘near-limitless’. His strength greatly increased from his bonding with one, which individually contain infinite energy. By comparison- as described by echidna scientists prior to the Great Harmony- 11 Chaos Emeralds together were considered to achieve truly "limitless" power.

|-|Organization=
* Surveillance: 
** Haven has technology that allows the Brotherhood to witness events across the entirety of the planet. The Brotherhood notably became vulnerable when it’s taken down, due to the over reliance they have on it.
* Force-Field:
** The Brotherhood of Guardians has technology to create city wide Domes with Preparation, for the Chaos Emerald Chamber and Echidnaopolis. They likely also have one for Haven but it was never shown.The Brotherhood's Energy Domes around the Chaos Emerald Chamber and Echidnaopolis, while never been broken without an exploit, they were not made by Dr. Robotnik. However, Haven, an extension of the Brotherhood, has been stated to house one of the most advance technology on the planet Mobius to their knowledge, . Dr. Eggman Mach 2, a what-if future counterpart to Dr. Robotnik Prime, knew on first contact how their Energy Dome generally functioned enough .Sonic the Hedgehog issue #79

Members:
* Locke: Son of Sabre and Father to Knuckles. He’s the most relevant member of the Brotherhood during the events involving them, having vested interest in Knuckles’s well being. He is the only known surviving member of Eggman’s assault on Angel Island and stayed as Guardian till his death, choosing to sacrifice himself for Knuckles.
* Other Ancestors active during the main story: Sabre, Thunderhawk, Sojourner, and Spectre. (Tobor doesn’t count due to having his identity stolen by Moritori Rex and thus having very little involvement with the Brotherhood. Hawking also doesn’t count due to his old age during present day making him incapable of fighting alongside fellow Brotherhood members.)
* Archimedes and Fire Ants: Fire Ants are a major ally to the Guardians and important members of the Brotherhood. They were the ones who , built , trained the 1st , Steppenwolf, after Edmund’s death, act as in present day and are with the Guardians.
Optional Members:
* Knuckles: The last line of Guardians and Son of Locke, Knuckles was not properly trained in the ways of the Brotherhood and due to his mutations, possesses more power than the average Brotherhood member. He holds a connection directly to the Chaos Force that the other members of the Brotherhood does not possess. Ultimately, Knuckles is more involved with the affairs on Mobius against Dr. Robotnik's rule, outside of the Brotherhood’s interests, to be considered an average member.
* Athair: Son of Janelle-Li and Father of Sabre. Originally a Guardian, Althair was summoned away from his duties to serve the Ancient Walkers, the multiverse’s higher beings, as their voice. He ultimately transcended his original status as a Guardian and Brotherhood member to become a Neo Walker.
