* ArchEnemy: To Naugus ''big-time.'' He fought against him some time in the past and lost, which is what led him to being stuck there in the first place. Since Sonic and the gang are also enemies of Naugus, he's following the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" with them.

* ItAmusedMe: Apparently, his entire ''modis operandi'' is basically having individuals who arrive in the Special Zone undergo inane challenges for his amusement, offering up a Chaos Emerald as a prize. He lets Team Dark run around his realm for an Emerald in the hopes of getting entertainment. Likewise when Eggman and Snively end up in the dimension, he has the two race for a Chaos Emerald.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Downplayed example. When Sonic and Tails meet him, he gives Sonic the gray Chaos Emerald as a thank-you gift. However, he did say that was the only freebie and they'd have to earn one the next time they visit. He's also a guy of his word if you meet his challenges. Piss him off though, and "reasonable" goes out the window.

[[folder: Dark Knuckles]]

Dark Mobius is a future destroyed by Enerjak with very few resistant fighters remaining [[spoiler:until Silver arrives and helps overthrow the tyrant]].

* OfficialRelationship: Demo and Scarlette.

[[folder: Dark Knuckles]]

A version of Knuckles from Dark Mobius who went mad with power after becoming Enerjak.

* AGodAmI: Naturally, as Enerjak.
* BigNo: [[spoiler:When the Sword of Acorns is smashed by Jani-Ca, preventing Knuckles from taking back Enerjak's power from her.]]
* EvilCounterpart: To Knuckles, much more than his Moebius Counterpart; most notably to Knuckles time as Enerjak. When Prime Knuckles became Enerjak he was mind-controlled but still his Enerjak almost had a nobility to him as he tried to save his people and the Dark Legion (for better or worse). Dark Knuckles has a selfishness to his beliefs and the future he wants to form is born from that self righteous desire rather than Prime Knuckles Enerjak's warped but genuine one.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Silver realizes Dark Knuckles has been all powerful because all his adversaries have been trying to match their power against his which he can easily counter against. So Silver uses Dark Knuckles' own power against him which sure enough damages him.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: He forces Jani-Ca to fight the Prelate of her own mother Juli-Su.]]
* PutOnABus: Gone after the Penders lawsuit.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: He was our lovable doofus, Knuckles, a long time ago. Now...not so much.
* YourSoulIsMine: He can pull out the core of a person and reshape it into artificial warriors called Prelates with no emotions to fight for him. Even if they're slain, all he needs to do is re-collect the core and remake them.

[[folder: Dark Freedom Fighters]]


The last line of defense against Dark Knuckles.

!!!Argentium

A planet in the shape of a ring. It's unique gravity allows for life, cities, forests, oceans, etc. to form on its inner and outer perimeter. It is the home-world of the BEM, a four-armed race of scientists.

[[folder: BEM]]

The dominant race on Argentium. The BEM are scientists famed across the universe for their resources and ingenuity. Their actions on Mobius lead to far reaching consequences.

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: After a disastrous attempt at saving a species resulting in its extinction, the BEM have adopted this mindset, although it is contested within their ranks.
* BaldWomen: The BEM are all hairless green humanoid alien women.
* [[BarefootCartoonAnimal Barefoot Cartoon Alien]]: Apparently the BEMS DoNotLikeShoes.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: A Downplayed example especially because InUniverse the BEM leadership has disagreements not only on what's right but if it's up to them to impose their ideas of right on other species. Their handling of roboticization is a major one. Their actions on Biotex where the population was de-roboticized was one that the government took issue with as it resulted in mass death. However when they examined Mobius and saw the superiority of Robians they decided that the population should be roboticized. Their focus was on whether the procedure would cause a greater benefit rather than if the species wanted it.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: BEM are four-armed.
* OneGenderRace: All BEM are female.

[[folder: Ceneca-9009]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ceneca_9009.png]]

A BEM scientist with a focus on roboticization. She discovered a society, on the planet Biotex, many years ago that had turned themselves robotic. Her well-intentioned but naive attempts to reverse the process lead to the species' extinction and since then her attempts to correct her mistakes have had mixed results.

* TheAtoner: She believed that the Biotexians, a race who'd turned themselves into robots were in trouble and labored half a century to find a cure. In converting them back to organics, they're bodies were unable to handle the polluted atmosphere as the roboticization was actually part of their alien evolution to adapt to the planet. The whole race died before Ceneca-9009 could correct her mistake and since then she's wanted to use her technology to rectify her mistake. This is why she returned the Robians of Knothole to their original Mobian state.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Ceneca-9009 was only in a few issues, but it was she who saved Tails's parents, turned Eggman and Snively back into organics, and de-roboticized almost all of the Mobians.
* UnwillingRoboticisation: Inverted. Ceneca-9009's studies are to deroboticize organic creatures, but unfortunately she's done it to many against their will, to disastrous consequences. She's also demonstrated the know how to roboticize organics, having done it to Sonic and the Freedom Fighters once.

!Others
[[folder: Harry]]
A Dingo in the Dingo Regime. Harry was born into military service but never really fell into step with the others of his militant upbringing. When the Dingoes are freed from the pocket-dimmension and forced to settle in Echidnopolis, Harry is willing to settle down as a Cabbie and live a normal life. Naturally he get's caught up with whatever shenanigans the Chaotix get up to.

* RedShirtArmy: Pretty much, they can deal with Prelates well enough but against Dark Knuckles they go down like dominoes.

[[folder: Lara-Su/"Jani-Ca"]]

The future daughter of Knuckles and Julie-Su, seen in the "Mobius: 25/30 Years Later" storylines and the "Fractured Mirror" arc of ''Sonic Universe''[[note]]Known as "Light Mobius" and "Dark Mobius", respectively[[/note]]. Confusingly, due to some very convoluted TimeTravel plotlines there have been two (or depending on how you count, three) distinct versions of Lara-Su shown in the comic: one affected by time travel, and the other a time traveler herself.

The first version of Lara shown to the reader had gone back in time attempting to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong by rescuing her father from an assassination attempt that had led to her growing up in a a BadFuture, only to find that Knuckles had never died and in fact had been the ''cause'' of the BadFuture. This instance of Lara's personality introduced herself as "Jani-Ca" and was dropped from the comic after her introduction, not getting a full resolution to her plotline until the "Fractured Mirror" storyline in ''Sonic Universe'', where she is shown as the battle-hardened leader of the last remaining Freedom Fighters.

The second, and better known, version of Lara-Su appears in the "Mobius [X] Years Later" storylines as a would-be successor to her father as the Guardian of the Master Emerald. Initially [[OverprotectiveDad Knuckles resisted letting her take the job]], but ultimately relented. Her reality was re-written due to King Sonic's own tampering with the timeline, but this worked out mostly to her advantage as one of the major changes was that Knuckles allowed her to train as a Guardian much earlier and ascend as a full-blooded ActionGirl.

Both versions of Lara are feisty and hot-tempered, much like her parents, and both ultimately became full-blooded {{Action Girl}}s. However, her "Jani-Ca" personality became noticeably more brittle and jaded as a result of having grown up in a BadFuture ruled over by [[ArchnemesisDad her own father]] as the BigBad, while Lara-Su of the "Mobius [X] Years Later" arc seems more peppy and cheerful. As a Guardian, she possesses all of Knuckles' abilities, including {{flight}} and Chaos Control.

* ActionGirl: Both versions. As "Jani-Ca" she must continually contend with the likes of [[PhysicalGod Enerjak]]. In the MXYL storylines, she goes head to head with [[UltimateLifeForm Shadow]]. And wins!
* ArchnemesisDad: "Enerjuckles" for Jani-Ca.
* CoolSword: "Jani-Ca" wields the Sword of Acorns. [[spoiler:After she uses it to absorb Enerjak's energy, however, she shatters it.]]

* FutureBadass: The Lara-Su from the Light Mobius timeline is certainly a spirited ActionGirl, but "Jani-Ca" from Dark Mobius, where Enerjak reigns, is [[DarkerAndEdgier gritty and tough-as-nails]] to the point she makes her counterpart seem like a GranolaGirl in comparison. This was {{lampshaded}} in an Off-Panel strip.
* KidFromTheFuture: In one continuity, she does travel back to the past, giving her name as "Jani-Ca." She later takes on that alias even in her own time.

* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: She tries, but not being informed as to what needed fixing in the first place, she doesn't do so hot. [[FailureHero Silver]] relates to this frustration very well.

Things only got worse over the following two decades, as due to his Chaos abilities, Shadow was fully aware of the original timeline, and was determined to keep anyone with lingering memories from trying to restore it. Arresting individuals such as Rotor, Sonic, Tail, and Lara-Su for "treason". His brutal rule came to an end thanks to the efforts of Sonic, Tail, Knuckles, and Lara-Su, who used Chaos Control to place him in suspended animation.

A giant panda bear-like entity who lives in and controls the Special Zone, fomerly the Zone of Silence aka the Void.

* ItAmusedMe: Apparently, his entire ''modis operandi'' is basically having indivudals who arrive in the Special Zone undergo inane challenges for his amusement, offering up a Chaos Emerald as a prize. He lets Team Dark run around his realm for an Emerald in the hopes of getting entertainment. Likewise when Eggman and Snively end up in the dimension, he has the two race for a Chaos Emerald.

* ParentsAsPeople: He meant well, but Locke manipulated Knuckles from birth to fulfill a prophecy, took him from his mother, and pretended to die so Knuckles could fulfill his role as Guardian. Even after that, it's clear that he sees Knuckles as the Guardian foremost and his son second. Locke admits to regretting much of his actions and even though he felt what he did was for the greater good he regrets having treated his son that way.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Temporarily served as a member of the Dark Legion.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure

[[folder:Ceneca-9009]]

[[folder:Harry]]

Knuckles's biological father and member of the Brotherhood of Guardians. When he had a nightmarish vision about his then unborn son dying in battle against a horrible threat, he consulted his grandfather Athair and was advised to prepare. Applying genetic experiments to himself for Knuckles to inherit, and exposing Knuckles's egg to Chaos energy tapped from Angel Island's own emerald, Locke sought to give Knuckles the power to protect his people. However this, along with the traditional Guardian training, caused his wife to divorce him. After faking his death in front of Knuckles when the latter was 10, Locke watched over his son from inside Haven, the stronghold of the Brotherhood of Guardians. Locke ultimately died to save his son from Dr. Finitevus' schemes.

* AllMenArePerverts: Manik was definitely one before the time rewrite.

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: After a disastrous attempt at saving a species resulting in its extinction, the BEM have adopted this mindset though it is contested within their ranks.

A BEM scientist with a focus on roboticization. She discovered a society, on the planet Biotex, many years ago that had turned themselves robotic. Her well-intentioned but naive attempts to reverse the process lead to the species extinction and since then her attempts to correct her mistakes have had mixed results.

* BaldWomen: The BEM are all hairless green humanoid aliens including the women.

* DependingOnTheWriter: Though many characters were affected by the change in writers having different directions for them, Locke's was pretty distinct. Though a lot of Locke's fundamental traits were the same, the way he approached his duties and Knuckles took on a harsher tone when Flynn took over from Penders. Locke's OmniscentMoralityLicense was criticized much more and gave him an almost antagonistic position to Knuckles and the heroes.

* AbusiveParents: He meant well, and admitted his regrets about what he did.
* BreakThemByTalking: In ''Enerjak Reborn'' Julie Su and Archimedes call Locke out on his seeming hatred for Knuckles. When he tries to explain that he doesn't hate Knuckles but can't ignore the danger he's become, Archimedes flat out tells him that Knuckles has become ''exactly'' what they were making him into with their training and Locke's experiments, and the real blame for all this lies with them. Julie Su and Archimedes leave to go Sonic and "the guardian we love enough to rescue" while Locke stews over what he's done

* GodIsDead: They had a rather flashy death sequence.

A BEM scientist with a focus on roboticization. She discovered a society many years ago that had turned themselves robotic. Her well-intentioned but naive attempts to reverse the process lead to the species extinction and since then her attempts to correct her mistakes have had mixed results.

* TheAtoner: She believed that a race who'd turned themselves into robots were in trouble and labored half a century to find a cure. In converting them back to organics, they're bodies were unable to handle the polluted atmosphere as the roboticization was actually part of their alien evolution to adapt to the planet. The whole race died before Ceneca-9009 could correct her mistake and since then she's wanted to use her technology to rectify her mistake. This is why she returned the Robians of Knothole to their original Mobian state.

** ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Unlike the rest of the Guardians, he's more than willing to work outside of the guardians traditions, seeing a much bigger picture than simply Angel Island. He's also willing to aid those outside of echidnas and guardians interest. Its safe to say that he set the first steps for Knuckles CharacterDevelopment in later books. Among other things, he;
