He is a human military leader and currently GUNs' highest-ranking commander, as well as one of the most respected. During his childhood when his family was aboard the Space Colony ARK, he befriended Maria and witnessed the creation of Shadow the Hedgehog. After the ARK was invaded by G.U.N., he blamed Shadow for his family's & Maria's death, and carried a grudge against him for fifty years, until he discovered the truth about him and Gerald Robotnik, the latter of which he had considered insane.
