Mighty the Armadillo/Pre-SGW

Mighty the Armadillo is a Mobian eastern armadillo who took up residence in the mountains of Angel Island, though he was born planet-side in the Kingdom of Mercia. He has known Sonic the Hedgehog since his childhood, though after their first adventure together they didn't meet again for roughly six years. After spending much of his youth wandering, he was brought to the Floating Island by Knuckles the Echidna and Vector the Crocodile. One of the original members of the Chaotix, Mighty has fought by their side in numerous battles, and would often back up Sonic's team, the Knothole Freedom Fighters. His adventures eventually led to being reunited with his long-lost sister, Matilda the Armadillo, long after both their parents had died.

Early Life
Born in the kingdom of Mercia to a family of thieves, Mighty and his younger sister Matilda the Armadillo- whom Mighty affectionately called Tilly-were too young to realize that the actions of his parents("oblivious in [their] innocence" as Mammoth Mogul puts it) were illegal, recognizing only the love their parents had for them. After his parents were subsequently sent to prison for their crimes, Mighty sought a method to free them. Discovered by Mammoth Mogul, the ancient Mobian granted Mighty his tremendous strength in exchange for a favor- one that mighty would forget due to Mogul's hypnotic powers. Even with his new powers, Mighty failed to rescue his parents however he, and imposed exile on himself in addition to that to that appointed by Rob o' the Hedge's Father, who was at the point Mercia's king (Sth: #185, SU:46, SU:48, CSE)
