The Household Keepers
The Household Keepers is a long-lived group and its founding dates before RBR. During RBR it continued to exist under Citizen Arbory, a collaborator with Doctor Robotnik who deposed the duchal family, and was effectively Arbory's secret police - although this group was really only the 'Household Keepers' in name as most of the original duchal loyalists either fled during the Zone's takeover or were destroyed in the later Fratricide, although some survivors did stay on for RBR. With the restoration of the old regime following RBR's end, the Keepers have also reassumed their former, non-oppressive, role.
Tropes for the Household Keepers as a whole:
- Custom Uniform: Part of the household Keepers uniform is a red tie which is patterned, according to the person individual taste.
- Hero Secret Service: Of the Hill Top Zone.
- Sharp-Dressed Men: While it's not used by field agents for obvious reasons of maintaining cover, office-working Keepers, or Keepers specifically required to be seen in public, wear a characteristic uniform of a black shirt with a red tie.
- Smoking Is Cool: It's not known whether they are actually contractually required to smoke in order to pass muster for the Keepers, but it's been statistically proven that living within a quarter-mile of the Household Keepers' headquarters building will treble your chance of contracting lung cancer.
Dunzi
Dunzi is a middle-aged elephant and senior officer in the Household Keepers, the secret service of the Hill Top Zone. While he's getting on in years and his field days are long behind him, he continues to pursue his duty for as long as he is able, in whatever way he can.- Arch-Enemy: Rouge is his arch-enemy and Dunzi has recently been devoting a large and ever-increasing amount of his time to attempts to prevent the sabotage operations of, and ultimately capture, the mercenary and current Drakon agent, Rouge.
- Berserk Button: His has become is Rouge.
- Determinator: He never forgets a slight, an insult - or a failure, a chief reason for his personal pursuit of Rouge. He seems to possess a near-neurotic sense of frustration and inadequacy for her repeated escapes, but this only drives him on harder in his attempts to bring her in, to the point that he has dispatched Keepers as far as the Starlight Zone in pursuit of her.
- Hero Antagonist: Of the story Rouge Alert.
- Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist

S.P.E.A.R.
The Special Executive Association for Resistance (S.P.E.A.R.) is a paramilitary group on Mobius that came about following the rise of the New Robotnik Empire. Fronted by Mr Gold, they aim to rid the world of Doctor Robotnik without the help of the Freedom Fighters.
Mr Gold is the mysterious leader of the S.P.E.A.R. paramilitary group in the Metropolis Zone. Not only is he behind his group's attack on the Brain Drain Society, an electromagnetic pulse on a fleet of Badniks and a crackdown using tear gas on protestors, he has also been instrumental in influencing the League of Super-Evil Villains into hiring Fockewulf de Shrike as an assassin as well as inviting the Freedom Fighters for a meeting. Gold feels that the Freedom Fighters' efforts in thwarting Dr Robotnik lack mettle and plans for him and his group to bring the dictator down without their help. While he initially appeared to be a Robotnik supporter, he later stated that the banner with Robotnik's face on in the groups headquarters enables him to think like the enemy. Oddly enough, while he seems to disapprove of the Freedom Fighters as a whole, he bears no ill will towards Tails. Gold remains tight-lipped in regards to his true nature however, which the bionics appear to be tied to.
Captain Blue is a senior member of S.P.E.A.R., a paramilitary group seemingly set up to oppose criminal groups during the New Robotnik Empire. "Blue" is the most visible soldier of the group and is responsible for carrying out missions as ordered by "Mr Gold".

Sky Pirates
A nefarious gang of criminals who fly across Mobius in pursuit of riches and infamy. Led by Captain Plunder, the crooks never associate themselves with either heroes or villains, merely interested in their goals.
A nefarious sky pirate who, while considered a villain, has no love for Doctor Robotnik or his tyrannical regime over Planet Mobius. Plunder is a pirate by name and nature, holding no regard for the law or social norms. He commands a flying galleon which is crewed by a motley bunch, though his only two regular crew members are his undead first mate Filch and Simpson the Cat, the ship's fool and cook. In his last appearance in Sonic the Comic, Plunder was stricken with an ancient curse and now lives his days with eternal bad luck.
A Sky Pirate and the ghostly First Mate of Captain Plunder. He is incredibly loyal to his captain and even in death has stuck by him through thick and thin. Filch was killed by Plunder himself, but he acknowledges that this was his own fault for taking the last biscuit without asking. The exact nature of Filch's ghostly aspect is unknown: Sometimes he is just a ghost and cannot touch anything, while sometimes he is a poltergeist and can manipulate his surroundings. Whatever kind of ghost he is, one thing is certain: he is indeed very knowledgeable, having studied books on Plunder's ship, and knowing of some of the Special Zone's more dangerous residents.
An amateur pirate working under Captain Plunder, and is without a doubt one of the most bizarre denizens of Mobius.Resembling black and white cartoon characters of the 1920s, such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit but mostly Felix the Cat, Simpson is capable of manipulating both himself and his environment at will, mostly for comedic effort. This behaviour can be anything from painting a hole in the floor for an enemy to fall into, shining a light from his eyes after swallowing said light, saluting his fellow crew-members by plucking his ears off his head like a hat and having his eyeballs pop out of their sockets when surprised (which notably disgusts Knuckles). His toon abilities also make him difficult to kill or even slightly injure. While the majority of his behaviour is followed with him being told to shut up, and he regularly irritates Plunder, the Captain keeps him around purely because he's a good cook.
