Knuckles    Full Name: Coschocton "Knuckles" Firestone Age: 25 Knuckles is one of the diligent warriors chosen to guard the Master Emerald, the most valued treasure of the Angel Island Echidnae. The Master Emerald contains magic so powerful that someone who were to use its energy would be able to rule the world! Plus it keeps the Island afloat in the air, so I think the people living on it would be kinda' miffed if it were stolen. Serious-minded and highly intelligent, Knuckles doesn't suffer fools well. He tends to see humans (and pretty much any other creatures as well) as bumbling fools and is often quite aloof about his "proud and noble" race. Fortunately, his sweetheart, Princess Tikal is usually around to counteract his grouchy moodiness. (Hey, you'd be stressed out too if you had his job!)
