### Voice Actor

**Guardian! Knuckles** (Knuckles for his full name) is a echidna character that appears in *Five Nights at Sonic's: Pizza Partners 1*. Knuckles is the member of the Echidna Clan, Team New Superstar, former night guard for Mario and Sonic's Pizza World, a restaurant related to Sonic and Mario's Clone Production. INC, and one of the main deuteragonists in Pizza Partners 1, mentioned character in Pizza Partners 2 and the main protagonist in Pizza Partners 4. He is set to become one of the main deuteragonists in the upcoming Cobalt Diamonds: The Double Strike Webcomic series.

## Physical Appearance

### Classic - Pizza Partners 1: Reboot

Knuckles is shown to be the same as his original counterpart, an anthropomorphic echidna with red fur that covers most of his body, a black nose on his peach-skinned muzzle, a white crescent-shaped patch of fur on his chest, and violet eyes. He also has seven dreadlock-like spines around the sides and back of his head and a medium-sized, tri-crooked tail.

### Attire

#### Pizza Partners 1: Reboot

Knuckles wears a large, white, mitten-like gloves with sock-like cuffs and two spiked knuckles on each hand, light cyan night guard uniform with gold buttons, black tie, gold name tag and pockets, and black shoes with green cuffs.

## Personality

Knuckles is an independent, wild, hot-blooded, tough, silent loner by nature but heroic, brave, kind-hearted and selfless soul who stays antisocial, reclusive, stubborn, headstrong and inflexible, preferring to do things his way, which causes him to clash with others. Regardless, he is very strong-willed, never giving up on his goals once he has set them. Due to his anti-socialism and fierce loyalty to his homeland, he prefers to stay close to the Master Emerald to keep a watchful eye over everything at his home. Despite this devotion, Knuckles is willing to leave his duty whenever his help is needed, or when he feels the Master Emerald and Angle Island will be safe. He has no will to trade away his duties as he is far too devoted to his role as the Master Emerald's guardian. When he is not on his duties, Knuckles spends his time, practicing his skills, hunting down treasures or hanging out with his friends.

While he has a heroic personality, Knuckles has a extremely short and wild temper and is hard to reason with, incredibly gullible, very naive and easily misled, which has given him a history of being tricked by Eggman. This has made Knuckles aggressive and suspicious towards anyone he deems questionable. Over time, however, Knuckles has gotten better about this and is more suspicious concerning Eggman's trickery. Once he finds out he has been tricked, he becomes very enraged about it but quickly regains enough of his composure to start working towards a resolution immediately. Knuckles can be quite clever, sharp-witted and sneaky, such as setting several successful traps for Sonic and Tails on Angel Island when they first arrived. He is capable of learning from his mistakes.

While he is headstrong, stubborn but yet heroic, kind-hearted and brave, Knuckles said to he is shy around women, always act awkwardly around girls like Amy, Blaze and Rouge. Because of his secluded lifestyle on Angel Island, Knuckles feels very uncomfortable in industrialized or crowded cities and places and being around high-tech objects or gadgets.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Enhanced Physical Condition:** Throughout his years, Knuckles, being the Master Emerald's guardian, is a very powerful fighter, who showed his physical abilities well above the human average. He is said to be very unstoppable in fights, capable of taking the most powerful opponents without rest.
	+ **Superhuman Strength:** Knuckles' trademark ability is his superhuman strength. Because he possesses so much power inside him, he is strong enough to pulverize massive boulders, punch through solid steel and lift objects several times his size and weight with ease. His main strength lies in his upper body, particularly in his arms and fists, the latter of which are noted to be as hard as rocks. He can use his entire strength to create fissures, widespread tremors and even powerful volcanic eruptions. While his main strength lying in his upper body, Knuckles' legs are powerful to jump several stories into the air from a standstill position.
	+ **Enhanced Speed:** While Knuckles can run at breakneck speeds that almost match Sonic's, he isn't fast enough to catch Sonic at his maximum speed, but he is capable enough to create afterimages of himself and scale vertical surfaces and ceilings. He is also fast enough to execute rapid punches in quick succession within a split-second.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** Knuckles possesses near-maximized physical durability, capable enough to survive a bomb, exploding right in front of him through sheer toughness, and him going through atmospheric entry and then landing on the ground with no damage received.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes:** Knuckles is quite athletic, shown to have sharp reflexes and acrobatic skills and can let him do special tricks and movements while in mid-air, pull off various Spin Attack maneuvers at high speed, and grind along rails just as fast as Sonic while doing tricks and evading.
* **Harnessing Chaos Energy:** Knuckles possesses the uncanny ability to sense energy, produced by the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald or energies similar to those, such as those contained in the Sol Emeralds. He can track down their signals like an Emerald Detector. Like Sonic and Shadow, he can also harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds to empower himself, however, as he guarded the Master Emerald alone, he knows how to control the Master Emerald, which allows him to utilize the jewel's different powers or tap into its vast energies to empower himself.
* **Hand-to-Hand Combatant:** Knuckles is a very skilled hand-to-hand combatant and a master in a number of martial arts focusing on hand-to-hand combat. He uses his powerful fists to take on his foes, with his specialty lying in punching moves where he uses his spiked fists for devastating blows.
* **Intelligence:** As the guardian of the Angel Island, Knuckles has vast knowledge of the island's various locations, which allowed him to place traps and obstacles to stop Sonic and Tails during the Angel Island incident. He is also well-versed in ancient cultures, ruins, and legends, such as translating ancient languages.
* **Bilingualism:** As he is a character originated from Japan, he can speak Japanese but the most he uses is English.

## Weaknesses

* **Gullibility:** Due to his lack of social ingenuity, Knuckles is easy to be tricked. This is shown during the Master Emerald Incident (or Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in general) where he was told by Eggman that Sonic and Tails were disrupting his work and had come to steal the Chaos Emeralds. Due to his seclusion, Knuckles believed Robotnik and made it his goal to stop Sonic and Tails and keep them from the doctor, not realizing the fact that he was actually being tricked by the evil doctor himself. Years later, he would now doubt any evil beings who's trying to trick him for the Master Emerald but is accurately trying his best to do so.

		- While he was fired from the base story, his death was faked in Pizza Partners.
		- While he took the protagonist role from the base story, he took the deuteragonist role in Pizza Partners.
