About four millenia ago the Knuckles Clan was a peaceful, but powerful clan lead by Tikal's grandmother. The clan was peaceful until she had died and Pachacamac became the leader: yearning for power and land. Each day that Pachacamac ruled the clan became greedier and more arrogant, this boost gave them the idea of world domination using the Chaos Emeralds and Master Emerald. When they reached the Altar of the fabled jewels; Tikal wanted to stop them since the chao and the most powerful chao: Chaos were living there and did not want to be disturbed, however her pleas fell on deaf ears as the men charged for the emeralds. They would've gotten their way had it not been for Chaos absorbing the Chaos Emeralds and wreaking havoc over the land. Tikal responded by sealing herself and Chaos within the Master Emerald. The massive jolt of energy pulled a piece of the land off the ground into the air to float for eternity. Or at least until Dr. Robotnick tricked **Knuckles**, the Master Emerald's guardian, after crash landing on the island that a blue hedgehog and an orange fox would come to steal the Master Emerald. Once Sonic & Tails reached the fallen Island, they butted heads with Knuckles on multiple occasions until he learned that Robotnik was planning to steal the Master Emerald from the start. After he helped Sonic & Tails defeat Robotnick. Knuckles would butt heads with all three on multiple occasions because of his naiveté at the time. However At the moment he is likely guarding the Master Emerald until it breaks again.
