As a whole=

The Council of Acorn is the democratic body representing the citizens of the Republic of Acorn. The Council was created in 3237 following the destruction of Knothole and the relocation of the Kingdom's citizens to New Mobotropolis. The idea was put forth by Amadeus and Rosemary Prower who had learned of numerous political systems during their time with the Bem. After discussing its creation with King Elias, the Council of Acorn was created. Later, the Council was taken over by Ixis Naugus, who was secretly plotting to overthrow them.

Revolution and Creation
Not long after the destruction of Knothole and the relocation to New Mobotropolis, the Kingdom was faced with internal problems: Amadeus Prower staged a rebellion intent on removing the Acorns from power due to their past failures, a conflict that split the inhabitants of the city down the middle and pitted Acorn-loyal Sonic against Tails, his best friend and Amadeus' son. With neither King Elias nor Amadeus willing to budge on their stance regarding the kingdom, the two engaged each other in a fierce duel. Their battle ended abruptly, however, when NICOLE intervened, bringing Sally Acorn in to mediate. (StH: #178, #179)

After a stern lecture from the princess, the two men agreed to compromise rather than demand one extreme over another, resulting in the creation of the Acorn Council: six elected citizens, with the king presiding as a seventh, and the Council itself was the ruling body over the newly-formed Republic of Acorn. While this reform was praised by the people, it was silently criticized by the former king, Maximillian, who had initially demanded severe punishment for Amadeus and all co-conspirators after the original riot. Despite this, the elections were organized, with Rosemary Prower-Amadeus' wife and Tails' mother-putting her name up for nomination, obviously eager to bring about the reforms she feels are necessary. She won the post, together with three of the Substitute Freedom Fighters, Uncle Chuck, and Rotor the Walrus. (StH: #179, #180)

Actions
When Dimitri visited New Mobotropolis to warn them of the returning Enerjak, the Council found themselves deliberating how to proceed with the new threat. After Dimitri reported all that he could about the situation, the Council made a number of decisions. First, they determined that neither the Knothole Freedom Fighters nor the Chaotix would be sent against Enerjak or to Angel Island until more could be learned about the danger of the situation. The Chaotix, objecting to this decision and to the fact that the Council refused to hear their say, tried to force their way through by fighting through guards at the King Frederick Airfield. Sonic appeared to stop them, and Sally managed to convince them to remain in New Mobotropolis by offering them a compromise from the Council: if they stayed, Sonic and Tails would be sent to find the missing Knuckles. Dimitri, disgusted at the slow decision making by the Acorn Council, fled to warn Dr. Eggman as well. (StH: #180, #181)

Following the successful invasion of Mobius Prime by the Suppression Squad and the subsequent loss of Freedom HQ by the Knothole Freedom Fighters, a vote was held whether or not to retake the base or to continue pressing attacks against the Eggman Empire. Believing the issue of the Suppression Squad could be dealt with later, the majority voted against retaking Freedom HQ for the time being. (StH: #190, #191)

While Sonic took Scourge to the No Zone to chat with Zonic, Sally was accused of treason and was brought before the Council for a hearing. During the hearing, Hamlin prosecuted her of taking command during the invasion of Moebius without a decision from the Council first. Although Hamlin was nearly thorough in prosecuting her, Sally convinced the Council to drop all the charges against her in a 6-1 vote, Hamlin objecting. He then walked away, saying that he ran for the Council because he never had a say when he was with the Substitute Freedom Fighters, and that the Council would give him a sort of "leadership" role. Later, the Council would be gathered to address the threat of the Iron Dominion, which had taken over the Eggman Empire. Any plans they might have been making were thwarted when the Iron Dominion seized control of the city through the Iron Queen's use of Magitek, during which time the Council was imprisoned in Castle Acorn. However, while Sir Charles was relocated to the city's prison and Rotor was nearly subjected to Legionization, the council was freed upon the Iron Dominion's defeat. (StH: #197, #201, #202, #208, #210, #211)

The Council continued to go through growing pains as it worked on a new constitution for the republic while dealing with the aftermath of the Iron Dominion occupation, particularly the people's fear of NICOLE, who had been corrupted by the Iron Dominion briefly. It would not be long before another crisis came about, as Sonic reported to them on the treachery of Geoffrey St. John. It would not be long before the results of Geoffrey's actions would affect the Council directly, as the evil wizard Ixis Naugus appeared before them and laid claim to the throne. The group witnessed a confrontation between Naugus and Sonic, and later Naugus and Elias, all the while contending with one another as to whether or not they should intervene. Unbeknownst to them, Naugus subsequently used his magic to influence their emotions, seeking to turn them in his favor. Much to Sonic's dismay, he succeeded, and the Council began to consider allowing Naugus to take the throne. Following a devastating attack on the city by the new Death Egg Mark 2, in which Naugus used his magic to combat forces threatening the people, he was accepted as king and became a member of the council as Elias stepped down. (StH: #214, #215, #220, #223, #224, #231, #232)

Changes in Membership
One of Naugus' first actions as a member of the council was to propose exiling NICOLE from New Mobotropolis as a dangerous threat. The entire council went along with his decision with the exception of Rotor, who resigned as a member over the matter. He would soon appear before them, accompanied by Sonic, with the proposal to create two new teams of heroes. Team Freedom, under Rotor's leadership, would remain in the city to defend it from outside threats, while Sonic's Team Fighters would pursue the Death Egg and attempt to put an end to Eggman's threat. Despite Naugus' objections, the rest of the council voted to pass the motion, and the two teams were formed. The changes to the council brought additional tension as Naugus found himself at odds with the other members, particularly Rosemary Prower. Leeta and Lyco of the Wolf Pack arrived in the city and sought an audience with the council, only to be informed that they hadn't been summoned. However, Sir Charles then led the two to a meeting with Harvey Who, who invited them to join the Secret Freedom Fighters in restoring Elias to the throne. Meanwhile, Naugus had his own plans for the council, involving an Ixian Ritual Chamber located beneath Royal Military Headquarters, which served as base for the council following the destruction of Castle Acorn by the Battle Bird Armada. The chamber's purpose was to enable Naugus to perform a spell that would enslave the wills of the other members of the Council, allowing him to take control. (StH: #235, #236; SU: #41, #42, #43)

The council assembled at Military HQ to ratify the new constitution, only to find the door locked and the lock broken. Unbeknownst to them, the difficulties were caused by Larry Lynx of the Secret Freedom Fighters, who used his "jinx" to upset the situation as his teammates engaged Ixis Naugus in a battle below the city. Getting inside, the council then discovered that the constitution document itself was missing, and recovered it only for the lights to go out. Apparently none the worse for wear, the council moved through with the process after Naugus made a false report of saving the city from a cave-in. Shortly thereafter, the council was joined by its newest member, Isabella Mongoose, whose first act as a councilor was a motion to overturn NICOLE's exile and allow her to return to the city. Naugus objected, but the council decided to discuss the issue after Isabella pointed out that NICOLE's services could have been extremely helpful in dealing with the recent attacks. Eventually, the group agreed to overturn the exile, on the condition that NICOLE would serve under "monitored conditions." The vote was unanimous thanks to Naugus, who acting through a possessed Geoffrey revealed to the council that their monarch was apparently dying, and requested NICOLE's help in healing him. Some members later attended the unveiling of the rebuilt Castle Acorn. (SU: #44, StH: #241, #247)


 * -|Chuck=

Professor Charles the Hedgehog and later Sir Charles Hedgehog, a Knight in the service of the Kingdom of Acorn who earned his knighthood due to his personal friendship and services to King Maximillian Acorn. After Sonic's parents disappeared, Sonic became especially close with Charles and learned many of his most important lessons from him, as Charles acted like a foster father. Charles' capture and roboticization was the catalyst which led to Sonic's development as a hero. Charles was unintentionally the one responsible for the rise of Dr. Ivo Robotnik to power, as Robotnik used Charles's invention the Roboticizer to enslave the minds and bodies of most of Mobius's population.

Early Life and Great War Years
Charles Hedgehog was born some time prior to the Great War, and together with his brother Jules. The two were students of Nate Morgan, the Overlander who created the Power Rings. Charles was Nate's finest student, and excelled in the fields of robotics and bio-technology. As they got older and the Great War began, Charles and his brother became soldiers for the Kingdom of Acorn. At some point, they encountered the young Regina Ferrum when she came too close to the kingdom's territory and ran her off. When the two brothers stumbled across the exhausted and beaten Julian Kintobor during a scouting mission in the Badlands, Charles opted against rescuing him as he felt something was suspicious about the Overlander. However, Jules insisted, saying they were better than their enemies. (StH: #50, #72, #76, #202, CSE)

During the Overlanders' shelling raids on Mobotropolis, Charles was part of a task force which went underground to hide civilians. The group was successfully lead behind enemy lines by Cocoa and Bernadette where they managed to defeat the attacking Overlanders. For his services during the Great War, Sir Charles was knighted personally by King Maximillian Acorn, becoming one of the Knights of Acorn. (StH: #76, CSE)

Life as a Scientist
He went on to become the inventor of the Roboticizer, a machine that turns flesh into metal, which Charles hoped to use as a means of curing the sick and allowing people to live longer. Charles was forced to test the machine on his own brother Jules, who had been wounded during the Great War shortly after the birth of his son and Charles' nephew Sonic the Hedgehog. When Warlord Julian Kintobor sabotaged his machine, Charles discovered to his horror that Jules had been transformed completely into a machine leaving him bereft of free will. Blaming himself for the horrible turn of events, with no knowledge of Kintobor's wrongdoing, Charles left behind his position as the kingdom's Minister of Science and his home with Jules, his wife Bernie, and the young Sonic. After Bernie was Roboticized as well, Sir Charles took in Sonic and raised him like his own son, earning the affectionate nickname "Uncle Chuck" as the two worked as manager and delivery boy for Chuck's chili dog stand, which he opened after leaving behind his scientific career. While he could indeed produce a delicious chili dog, he later moved his stand to the outskirts of the city in order to provide food to refugees. Unfortunately, their peace was not to last, as not long after Bernie's roboticization Julian - now proclaimed Dr. Ivo Robotnik - launched a coup d'état to take over the Kingdom. Chuck was among the first Roboticized-along with Sonic's pet dog Muttski-after being arrested under false charges, and the two were lost to Sonic for many years. (StH: #43, #77, #78, #79, OSM: #0, CSE)

Life as a Robian
Sonic continued to regret failing to save Uncle Chuck, and over the years his determination to rectify that failure continued to grow. When he and the rest of the Freedom Fighters were deposited into a holographic fantasy world by Robotnik, intended to lock them forever in a world shaped from their deepest desires, Sonic envisioned a world free of Robotnik, where Uncle Chuck was still his old self and they both lived happily. However, thanks to the efforts of Horizont-Al and Verti-Cal, the illusion was disrupted and Uncle Chuck's virtual doppelganger revealed to Sonic the true nature of the fantasy. (StH: #16)

Ironically, Chuck's mind was first freed by none other than Robotnik himself, when the Doctor tried to use him as a test subject for his Transdimensional Transporter device, which malfunctioned and restored Chuck's free will and briefly sent Robotnik to the Void. Working quickly, Chuck reunited with Sonic and traveled to Knothole, intent on helping the Knothole Freedom Fighters in their struggle. His first assistance came as he joined forces with them to thwart Snively Kintobor's use of the transporter to send them all to the Void with Dr. Robotnik. Chuck decided to remain in Robotropolis undercover, working as a spy for the Freedom Fighters while pretending to still be a mindless slave. His help proved invaluable in stopping the pursuit of a roboticized Muttski, and he was even able to restore Muttski's free will so that the dog again became Sonic's loyal companion. (StH: #30, #32)

Unwilling to let his uncle remain a robot, Sonic worked together with Rotor Walrus to try and devise a De-Roboticization method to turn Chuck and Muttski back into their normal selves. Their efforts were unsuccessful, and they were forced to abandon the attempt when word reached them of Robotnik's new army of Combots, battle machines superior to SWATbots that possessed the power to destroy Knothole. Unfortunately, Chuck's return to Robotropolis to neutralize them played into Robotnik's hands, and both Charles and Muttski had their Robian programming re-initialized. With Chuck's knowledge, Robotnik's army marched on Knothole, and the Freedom Fighters found themselves at the mad doctor's mercy-or so Robotnik thought. In truth, Rotor had installed Neuro Overrider units in Chuck and Muttski, permitting them to retain their free will no matter what Robotnik tried. Reprogramming the Combots, Chuck easily neutralized the threat, all the while cementing Robotnik's belief that he remained a loyal, mindless slave. (StH: #34)

Setting up a hidden facility from which to continue his work, he soon picked up an imminent earthquake that threatened Robotropolis. Leading Sonic and Sally Acorn into the city while Robotnik took shelter in the sky, Uncle Chuck triggered an alert to bring all Robians to the Roboticizer room of Robotnik's citadel, where he detonated the machine and De-Roboticized many of the Robians. When the earthquake hit, Chuck remained in the city to allow room for all the freed Mobians onto the Freedom Fighters' plane, trusting in his robotic body to keep him safe. Correct in his theories, Chuck was awarded the Mobius Golden Acorn medal for his efforts. (StH: #37)

Shortly afterwards, Chuck found his abilities put to the test again, this time in trying to cure King Max after his escape from the Zone of Silence, where he had been subjected to a crystallizing spell by Ixis Naugus, an evil wizard. Unable to cure him using Power Rings, Chuck determined that the king could only be healed through the power of the Crown of Acorns, which had unfortunately been lost during Robotnik's coup. Immediately afterwards, Chuck was confronted by guilt as Sleuth Dog, an agent of Chuck's own Robotropolis Spy Network, betrayed the entire group and the Freedom Fighters. Upon discovering the disappearance of another group member, Fly Fly Freddy, Chuck had called upon Knuckles the Echidna for help, and the Guardian of Angel Island agreed. (StH: #42)

Chuck continued to provide intelligence up until the fall of Dr. Robotnik, including the danger posed to their primitive ally Mobie by Robotnik's machinations in the Great Jungle with his Eco-Destroyer, a weapon intended to destroy the jungle which Robotnik feared and hated. He was then invited along on one of Sally's military retreats, a chance for the Freedom Fighters to reflect on their past efforts, following his display of guilt for allowing Robotnik to seize the Roboticizer. With the arrival of first the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighter group and then Geoffrey St. John, Chuck learned that he was the target of both prejudice and suspicion, as Geoffrey had been following him since the Sleuth Dog incident and now believed him to be a double-agent working for Robotnik. Painful as that must have been, Chuck was then confronted with worse as Sonic was arrested by St. John's Rebel Underground on suspicion of having killed Sally. Charles refused to believe the charges, and even provided Sonic with information regarding a traitor amidst the Freedom Fighters, who turned out to be Drago Wolf, an abusive and power hungry Wolf Pack member who framed Sonic and nearly brought about Sally's death. He was then amongst those taken prisoner by Dr. Robotnik when an Auto Automaton of King Max betrayed Knothole to the dictator. Thanks to the brave actions of Sonic and other allies, however, Chuck was freed just in time to see Robotnik overthrown. (StH: #46, #47, #48, #49, #50)

Post-Robotnik Life
With Robotnik's downfall, Sir Charles was among the many present at the festivities in Knothole. However, their celebration was interrupted as Sonic fell prey to a bugged medal that dragged him into a nightmare in which Robotnik was still alive and the Freedom Fighters fell to him one by one, eventually leading to Knothole's capture. Chuck managed to break into the virtual dream and attempted to contact Sonic, only to find his initial messages garbled so that Sonic couldn't understand them. Luckily, he was able to pull Sonic out just in time to save him from a horrible fate: being trapped forever in his own nightmare. (StH: #51)

Unfortunately, Chuck found his relationship with his nephew strained when he finally revealed the secret he had kept hidden for quite some time: that Sonic's parents, though Roboticized, were still alive and had regained their free will with his help. This came to light when Chuck brought the remaining Robians out of their sewer hiding place to greet the liberators of Mobotropolis. Sadly, Sonic was at first hurt and angry at Chuck's subterfuge, not knowing that his parents had asked Chuck to keep their continued existence a secret. Sadly, Charles also had to face the fact that with the Roboticizer destroyed, he had no idea as to how to restore the Robians to their original forms. With the suspicion directed at the Robians, Chuck was among the many who felt it would be better to establish a settlement for themselves away from Mobotropolis, but Sally refused to exile the lost populace of the Kingdom of Acorn. (SSS: #2)

Ixis Naugus' escape from the Zone of Silence brought another disruption to Mobotropolis, which involved King Max having apparently sworn away the Kingdom of Acorn to the wizard in exchange for his magical protection during their imprisonment in the Zone. Though Chuck briefly insinuated that Naugus was within his rights, the issue soon became null as the wizard was driven from Mobotropolis by Sonic after his minions Kodos and Uma Arachnis were defeated. Afterwards, Chuck attempted to analyze Sonic's maximum speed, but Sonic's exertion proved too much for his instruments to keep up with. Sensing that his nephew had a lot on his mind, Chuck thought about the recent decision to move the Robians to Knothole to prevent overcrowding in Mobotropolis as well as keeping the Robians safe from persecution. It wasn't far into Chuck's investigations before he learned that Sonic was still furious with him for not telling him about his parents. However, after Chuck explained that he had deceived Sonic to protect him from the obsession he had felt after Uncle Chuck's Roboticization and to keep him from making foolish mistakes that could have cost them the war, Sonic and his uncle were reconciled. Sadly, persecution soon arose as the ordinary Mobians began accusing Robians of treachery against the kingdom. Things grew worse when King Max ordered that all Robians be dismantled for treason, only to collapse as the Freedom Fighters returned from a recent mission. (StH: #53, #55)

While the Freedom Fighters left for Angel Island to aid Knuckles the Echidna against Mammoth Mogul, a sorcerer responsible for the theft of the Sword of Acorns, Max was driven even further into madness by the lies of a band of illusory Freedom Fighters created by Ixis Naugus. Uncle Chuck and the other Robians found themselves caught up in a war with the kingdom's soldiers, with Chuck taking charge and receiving the returning Freedom Fighters. After some tension, the two sides agreed to work together, only for Uncle Chuck to be struck down by a young soldier. Furious, Sonic attacked the trooper with vengeful intent, but the arrival of his parents and his accidental activation of the Sword of Acorns restored everyone's clear thinking. Chuck was then miraculously revived by the Sword, and his would-be assassin revealed that he had no idea of what had happened since the illusory Freedom Fighters arrived. Sonic was then able to use the Sword to break Naugus' spell on the king, bringing an end to the hostilities. (StH: #56, SSS: #4)

With Sonic away in search of Ixis Naugus, Uncle Chuck remained in Knothole and Mobotropolis to help with the reconstruction. He also helped organize Sonic's sixteenth birthday party upon his return, and was able to welcome back not only his nephew but also his old mentor Nate Morgan. (StH: #68)

When Dr. Eggman made a broadcast over the Kingdom's new television network, Chuck was one of the many watching, his old guilt renewed as Robotnik's biographical program brought up his part in creating the Roboticizer. Perhaps seeking solace, he traveled to the Mobotropolis library and found Amy Rose and Miles "Tails" Prower speaking with the librarian, Jeremiah, about the events preceding Robotnik's rise to power. Afterwards, he participated in his brother Jules' and Bernie's wedding vow renewal, providing them with Power Ring commemoration bands, which brought him to contemplate how he had for so long received credit for the creation of the rings instead of Nate. Sonic and Nate then left Knothole, where the ceremony had taken place, only to return later to find it empty, courtesy of Eggman's satellites and their teleportation system. When Sonic finally found Uncle Chuck again, Dr. Eggman had restored his Robian programming despite Rotor's Neuro-Overrider, and with all the Robians - except for Sonic's parents, who escaped using Power Rings-Chuck was sent back to the recaptured Robotropolis as Dr. Eggman's slave. (StH: #72, #73, #75)

Eggman's Lieutenant
When Uncle Chuck was next encountered, it was by the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters, who found him reprogrammed as one of Eggman's villainous underbosses. Having captured the entire wolf population of Mobius and the Wolf Pack themselves, he forced Lupe to submit to Roboticization or risk having her Robian children destroyed. Though she was transformed, Lupe was able to retain her free will long enough to distract Chuck's forces and let the rest of the pack escape. He was later placed in charge of the Roboticization of Elias Acorn, Max's son and heir to the throne. When Max himself and the Freedom Fighters penetrated the Roboticization chamber, Chuck opposed their efforts until his mind was freed yet again by the Sword of Acorns. Before he could be rescued, however, Eggman separated him from the Freedom Fighters with an impenetrable wall, and King Max's own injuries forced the group to retreat. (StH: #88, SSS: #11)

Free Will Restored
Eggman remained under the impression that Uncle Chuck was his devoted servant despite a "temporary" release through the power of the Sword of Acorns. However, Chuck was once again playing the part of mindless drone, revealing himself after seeing Uma Arachnis steal the Sword of Acorns after Eggman cast it aside in frustration. Even though he longed to rejoin the Freedom Fighters, he continued acting as Robotnik's agent, joining a horde of Robians that forced Sonic to flee Robotropolis rather than risk hurting them. Realizing the danger of the Sword in the hands of Uma's ally Kodos, he reprogrammed one of Eggman's Shadowbots to deliver a message regarding the Sword's status to Sonic in Knothole. However, Geoffrey St. John destroyed the robot and seized it before it could complete the message. (StH: #91, #96)

Despite this interference, the Freedom Fighters recovered the Sword and used it to free all the Robians, and Uncle Chuck joined them all in escaping Robotropolis, only to lose Nate as the Overlander stayed behind to deactivate the energy shield that would have held them all prisoner in the city. Like the rest of Mobius, Chuck was then caught up in a number of alternate timelines caused by Chaos Knuckles' attempts to alter the past. One of these found Chuck an undistinguished former member of the Court of Acorn, having resigned following Jules Roboticization. However, in this universe Robotnik was thwarted by Amadeus Prower, and Uncle Chuck gave Sonic much needed advice as he faced the upcoming wedding between Sally and Knuckles. This reality faded as Knuckles' efforts were undone by the Chaos Force, leaving the present back in its rightful state. Chuck quickly deduced what was going on, though the explanation was initially given by Nate until the timeline was fully returned to normal. (StH: #100, #101)

Reunited with his family, Chuck enjoyed a brief peace, until he was called upon to alert Sonic and Tails to Station Square's accidental launch of nuclear missiles against Robotropolis. (StH: #110)



With the return of the Robians, Uncle Chuck found himself faced with yet another bout of guilt, this time over his actions as Robotnik's lieutenant. After refusing to attend a going away party for Lupe and her family, Charles was surprised as Sonic brought the group of merrymakers to him. Despite this, Charles remained downhearted, envying the carefree attitudes of the Freedom Fighters and excusing himself from the festivities. Lupe and the others quickly came after him, wishing to know what ailed him. After Chuck confessed his troubles, Lupe worked to convince him that it had not been his doing, but Eggman's. Regret at creating the Roboticizer came to him again, and he expressed his desire for forgiveness, to which Lupe replied that he had to forgive himself before anyone else could forgive him. Lupe declared the party a celebration in honor of Charles as well as for her departure, and the deeply moved Hedgehog thanked her with an embrace. (StH: #112)

Soon afterwards, Chuck was among the many Robians who disappeared mysteriously, only to return one by one restored to normal courtesy of the Bem, a race of aliens who had developed a device known as the De-Robotizer and used it on the Mobians. Only Jules, Chuck's brother, remained unchanged, due to the fact that his De-Roboticization would result in his death due to injuries. Chuck worked night and day for some time in hopes of finding a way to restore his brother to normal, but in the end it was Jules himself who stopped him, refusing to let Chuck continue to push himself beyond his endurance. (StH: #123)

After the Xorda
After the Xorda's attack on Mobius and Sonic's apparent death, Chuck became part of the Freedom Fighters' Brain Trust, serving as a technical expert alongside Rotor Walrus. During this time, they worked together under King Max's orders to build the Metal Sonic Troopers, elite robots designed to defend Knothole, using data extracted from the Power Gem core of Metal Sonic v2.5 which was recovered by Geoffrey St. John and the Royal Secret Service at Mount Mobius. Upon Sonic's miraculous return, Uncle Chuck was the first relative to greet him, sharing a warm embrace with his nephew before sending word to Sonic's other family and friends. Despite the warmth of the reunion, peace soon ended as Eggman announced his plans for a two-pronged nuclear assault, which the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix thankfully managed to avert. With Sonic back home-though injured from the battle-Charles finally learned the truth of why he had been unable to De-Roboticize Jules thanks to Sonic's time among the Bem. Sadly, Chuck's problems with Jules soon escalated, as his brother was damaged to the point of near death by an Auto Automaton of Sonic's long lost friend Tommy Turtle. Despite his skills, Chuck had no idea how to restore his brother's life force, meaning that repairing his body would be worse than useless. Luckily, Sonic wasn't willing to give up, and by using the one-billionth Power Ring he had collected, he restored his father to life. Chuck then dissected the Auto Automaton, and discovered its point of origin. With the Freedom Fighters success in thwarting that particular scheme of Eggman's, Charles joined King Max, Queen Alicia Acorn, and the Anti Freedom Fighter Patch-then posing as Antoine D'Coolette Prime-on their tour of the Kingdom of Acorn's domain. (StH: #130, #131, #136, #138, SU: #43)

With the onslaught of Eggman's nanites and their capture of Bunnie Rabbot, Uncle Chuck was called upon for help to defeat A.D.A.M., Eggman's computer virus "son" and the controller of the nanites. Remembering how Tails had previously beaten A.D.A.M. by telling jokes, Chuck advised his nephew to defeat A.D.A.M. with logic by convincing him that he couldn't absorb Bunnie as she was only partly cybernetic, and her carbon "components" would not be accepted into A.D.A.M.'s silicon being. Charles then teamed with Rotor, Tommy Turtle, and the Freedom Fighters' new ally Snively to analyze a sample of the nanites, and soon discovered interesting details about their properties. Thinking them inactive, Chuck left, only to have them merge with Tommy's shell thanks to a massive electric shock they had been exposed to and one of Tommy's tears. The group then examined the new abilities given to Tommy by the nanites, and Chuck deduced that the microscopic robots were not non-sentient as they had initially deduced. Having no part in the scandal surrounding Sally's brief marriage to Patch before the Anti-Mobian's deception was discovered, Chuck's next difficulty came when A.D.A.M., masquerading as the villain "Anonymous" took control of the Metal Sonic Troopers and sent them against first Eggman, and then Knothole. Revealing his actions in the creation of the automatons to the newly crowned King Elias, he attempted to deactivate his rebellious creations, but was unsuccessful due to A.D.A.M.'s machinations. He was similarly caught off guard when A.D.A.M. secretly used the nanites he had infused Tommy with to bug Bunnie Rabbot, Jules, and Sally's computer NICOLE. (StH: #152, #159)

From Knothole to New Mobotropolis
Following A.D.A.M.'s final defeat, Chuck teamed up with Rotor to create a machine to restore the health of a comatose Max, which called upon Sonic and Tails to recover a Chaos Emerald from the Special Zone and its ruler, Feist. He also attended Bunnie and Antoine's wedding, but was then captured by Eggman's Egg Fleet along with the rest of Knothole when it was attacked, and sent to the Egg Grape Chamber. Before he could be exposed to the chamber's energies, though, Chuck and the rest of the prisoners were liberated by Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy Rose, and NICOLE, who then tricked Eggman into sending him and everyone else to the city of nanites built by A.D.A.M., which NICOLE had reshaped into New Mobotropolis. Charles took to life in the new city well, becoming a frequent visitor to the Science Center and owner of a new Chuck's Chili Dogs, which Jules and Bernie managed for him. Chuck was then elected to the newly formed Council of Acorn along with Substitute Freedom Fighters Dylan, Penelope Platypus, and Hamlin; Rotor; and Rosemary Prower, all of them serving as New Mobotropolis' new ruling body with King Elias at their head. Despite the threat posed by a new Enerjak after their formation, the new council refused to act rashly, and waited for more intelligence to make their decision regarding the Chaos demigod. They waited too long, and Enerjak soon arrived in New Mobotropolis looking for a fight. (StH: #170, #174, #175, #179, #180)

Chuck later assisted in the making of new Star Posts to help defeat Scourge the Hedgehog and his Suppression Squad after they tried to invade Mobius, and was also present at Sally's trial for treason being held by the Council of Acorn. After the Iron Dominion took control of New Mobotropolis, Chuck was captured and sent to the Detention Center and briefly showed his aggravation at the situation by snapping at an insane Eggman asking how his "robot-sizer" was coming along before an angry Yagyu Clan member forced him into his cell. In doing so, Chuck unknowingly kindled memories that brought Eggman out of his gibbering madness and back to his senses. (StH: #189, #192, #193, #197, #209)

None the worse for wear after his brief captivity, Charles returned to active duty on the council and continued to support Sonic. In particular, he encouraged his nephew to just be himself on his first date with Sally after their breakup. Unfortunately, the conversation was followed some time later by Ixis Naugus appearing before the council and staking his claim to the crown. Charles would unwittingly fall under the sway of Naugus' magic, as the sorceror amplified the feelings of the council members and produced contention. For his part, Charles was angered that Rosemary Prower was actually considering Naugus' proposal, given that she and her husband Amadeus had accepted Elias' station after agreeing on the idea for the council. He then watched with concern as Sonic approached the situation impulsively, wanting to simply defeat Naugus and throw the matter aside. He and the rest of the council decided to consider the situation peaceably, only to be startled by the launch of the Death Egg Mark 2. Along with the rest of Mobius he was caught up in Operation: Clean Sweep, but was restored after Super Sonic's use of Chaos Control. However, he then faced the grim reality of Naugus being appointed king by the voice of the people of New Mobotropolis. (StH: #222, #223, #224, #225, #232) Naugus was quick to propose that NICOLE be exiled from New Mobotropolis, given her power over the nanites and the people's fear. When questioned as to whether banishing her to Freedom HQ would be feasible, Chuck replied that it would be on her honor, as there would be no real way to keep her out. He then voted with the other members of the council-apart from an outraged Rotor-to exile NICOLE, recognizing it as the people's wish. Rotor then surprised the entire group by resigning as a member. Charles would then vote with the other members of the council to create Team Freedom and Team Fighters, groups led by Rotor and Sonic for the respective purposes of protecting the city and having a unit to pursue the Death Egg. Not one to sit idle, Chuck secretly assisted Harvey Who in his efforts to assemble a team of Secret Freedom Fighters, rebuilding the original Metal Sonic. Chuck had misgivings about this, being forced to work with spare parts and acknowledging that "Shard" had attempted to kill Sonic previously, though the robot also pointed out that he had saved Sonic prior to his previous body's demise. He was present in Secret HQ when Larry Lynx stumbled in and was invited to join the team, though at first he attempted to conceal the nature of their business. (StH: #235, #236, #238)

When Leeta and Lyco of the Wolf Pack arrived in the city in answer to a summons from the king, they were informed that they had not been summoned by Naugus. Charles offered to lead them out, and then informed them that they had been summoned by the true king, and led them to Harvey. Afterwards he joined the rest of the council as they gathered at Military HQ to ratify the new constitution, only to discover that the lock on the door was broken. Charles was quick to remark that NICOLE could have remedied the problem easily, though Hamlin reminded him none too politely that the vote to exile NICOLE had been unanimous. Eventually getting in with Rotor's assistance, the group then found that they had misplaced the constitution. After it was found, Charles remarked that they still needed Naugus to be present, though Hamlin wanted to call a vote to change the policy. The lights then went out, throwing another wrench in proceedings-all the work of Larry, who was present outside. Following the victory of the Secret Freedom Fighters over Naugus, Charles enjoyed dinner with Jules, Bernie, and Muttski, unaware that his latest creation, Shard, was watching the family through the window with a sad expression. (SU: #42, #44)

Charles was present as Isabella Mongoose was sworn in as a member of the council in place of Rotor, and joined in the discussion when she proposed that NICOLE's exile be overturned. He was then surprised as Naugus departed, claiming illness, and left the council to deliberate on the matter. Charles personally welcomed NICOLE back to the city the next day, informing her that the vote had been unanimous. When she questioned if it really had been, his reply was cut short as Geoffrey St. John-secretly being possessed by Naugus-replied in the affirmative, casting Naugus' vote in his place and informing the stunned council members that the wizard was apparently dying and in need of their help. (StH: #241)


 * -|Hamlin=

Hamlin the Pig is a Mobian pig who was personally trained by Sally Acorn and became a member of the Substitute Freedom Fighters. After several years of service, he was elected to the Council of Acorn.

Time as a Freedom Fighter
Hamlin was part of the original group of Freedom Fighter trainees under Sally Acorn. One of the more vocal and violent members of the group, he often came into confrontations with Geoffrey St. John, who aided the group in their early training missions, which eventually led to their thwarting Robotnik's Auto Automaton project. During this time, Hamlin suspected Geoffrey of being a traitor, but his theories proved false once Geoffrey revealed he'd been loyal all along, and his deception was actually to trick Dr. Robotnik. (PSM: #1, #2, #3)

Hamlin joined the fray in trying to stop an amnesia-ridden Sonic when he was attacking Knothole. Later, Hamlin helped a speedless Sonic rescue the Knothole Freedom Fighters from Robotropolis after the group was captured by Combots. Later, he and his teammates became an official group under the leadership of Larry the Lynx after rescuing the Knothole Freedom Fighters from Robotropolis. (StH: #28, #38, SL)

Council of Acorn
Two years later - together with Dylan and Penelope Platypus - Hamlin was chosen by the citizens of New Mobotropolis to sit on the Council of Acorn with Sir Charles Hedgehog, Elias Acorn, Rotor Walrus, and Rosemary Prower. He was adamant that, when the Suppression Squad invaded, they should instead focus on taking down the Eggman Empire. (StH: #180, #191)

Hamlin later acted as Sally's prosecutor during her hearing for going against the orders of not retaliating against the Suppression Squad, and not attacking Dr. Eggman while his defenses were down. Hamlin almost succeeded as the case against Sally was too strong, but she turned the situation around, saying that she would then always wait for the orders of the council, even during the heat of battle, and would neglect to go to the Chaotix for any future help... or that the council could trust her to make decisions as a field leader as she'd always done. Everyone but Hamlin then voted for the charges against Sally to be dropped. Afterward, Sally asked Hamlin why it had come to this. Hamlin bluntly explained that, despite having been trained as a Freedom Fighter by Sally herself, he was always forgotten and never taken on any missions. Therefore, he figured that if he himself couldn't fight for his people, he would make sure the Freedom Fighters fought for them correctly. (StH: #197)

Following the Iron Dominion's defeat, Hamlin joined his fellow Council members in working on the constitution of the Republic. Leaving Rotor and Penelope to collect some notes, Hamlin was the first to learn of a transmission announcing that Eggman Empire forces had captured the Walrus Herd in the Northern Tundra, which he quickly made known to Rotor. Hamlin's attitude against the Freedom Fighters remained negative, and he proved quite vehemently opposed to the idea of Rotor leaving New Mobotropolis, even when it was to aid the Arctic Freedom Fighters against a Dark Egg Legion chapter. Rotor agreed to remain behind despite Sonic's wish that he accompany him, but later revealed to NICOLE that he had done so to shut Hamlin up.(StH: #214, #215)

Hamlin and his compatriots went through further difficulties, involving both the citizens' fear of NICOLE after her brief corruption by the Dominion and the treachery of Geoffrey St. John. Matters came to a head when Ixis Naugus appeared and laid claim to the throne, though he claimed he would honor the council. Hamlin was at first resistant to the idea, and was about to join in fighting Naugus when Penelope threatened to charge him with dereliction of duty, reminding him that they had been chosen as politicians, not fighters. Influenced by Naugus' magic without his knowledge, Hamlin became embroiled in an argument with the other members of the council and Sonic, particularly venting his disapproval of Sonic's attitude towards the council's authority. The dispute was put on hold by Operation: Clean Sweep and an attack on the city by the Death Egg Mark 2, after which Naugus was proclaimed King by the voice of the people. (StH: #220, #223, #224, #231, #232)

With their new king in place, Hamlin and the rest of the council returned to the issue of NICOLE, and Hamlin and the entire council-with the exception of Rotor, who resigned after the vote-voted to exile her to Freedom HQ. Hamlin was then pleasantly surprised when Rotor and Sonic came before the council and asked their approval to create Team Freedom and Team Fighters-the one to defend New Mobotropolis, the other to pursue the Death Egg and counter Eggman abroad. Happy to see the pair working with the council for once, Hamlin voted for the motion. He and the rest of the council continued to face difficulties with Naugus as the king attempted to assert his superiority over the council. Hamlin and his compatriots almost fell prey to Naugus' magic, but were saved by the unseen intervention of the Secret Freedom Fighters. While his teammates battled Naugus and Geoffrey below the city, Hamlin's old leader Larry Lynx used his jinxing powers to disrupt the council's meeting for the ratification of the constitution. A broken lock barred their way, and Sir Charles' remark that NICOLE could easily have remedied the problem prompted a retort from Hamlin that the vote had been unanimous. After Rotor helped them get inside and they managed to locate the missing constitution, Charles noted that Naugus wasn't present. Hamlin impatiently attempted to move forward, and got a taste of his own medicine when Dylan remarked that policy called for the king's presence. The Pig called for a vote about moving forward, and then the lights cut out thanks to Larry's jinx. Somehow getting through the difficulty, Hamlin later joined Dylan and Penelope for a friendly get together, unaware that a wistful Larry was observing them from a nearby tree. (StH:#235, #236; SU: #41, #42, #43, #44)


 * -|Penelope=

Penelope the Platypus was a member of the Substitute Freedom Fighters from Downunda. Later, however, she was elected to the Council of Acorn.

Freedom Fighter
Penelope was one of several Freedom Fighter recruits chosen by Sally Acorn for a special mission meant to determine their potential. The mission resulted in the uncovering of Dr. Ivo Robotnik's Auto Automatons, a scheme that the Substitute Freedom Fighters&mdash;aided by Geoffrey St. John&mdash;were able to thwart. (PSM: #1, #2, #3)

Penelope and the others would later come to the aid of Sally and her more experienced squad on several occasions, including stopping an amnesia-ridden Sonic from defeating the Knothole Freedom Fighters, a bizarre conflict involving a video-game link between Mobius and an alternate Earth, and a period of time in which Sonic was bereft of his speed and had to rescue the Knothole Freedom Fighters from captivity. The team were then officially recognized as the Substitute Freedom Fighters under the command of Larry Lynx. (StH: #28, #38, SLV)

Council of Acorn
Two years later, Penelope would later be elected to serve on the Council of Acorn, together with her old teammates Dylan and Hamlin. She and her associates agreed not to launch a preemptive mission to Angel Island in the face of the threat presented by Enerjak, feeling that they had too little information on him. She also denied the Freedom Fighters' request to authorize a mission to retake Freedom HQ from the Suppression Squad, and with the rest of the council presided over a disciplinary hearing for Sally after she disobeyed those orders. Like all members of the council but her former teammate Hamlin, however, she voted to drop the charges against Sally. Following the Iron Dominion occupation, she worked together with Rotor Walrus and other members of the council on the new constitution. Rotor expressed utter bewilderment over the process, prompting encouragement from Penelope. The pair were interrupted by the arrival of Hamlin, who informed Rotor that the Walrus Herd had been captured by the Northern Tundra Dark Egg Legion. Shortly thereafter, the council met to discuss the issue, and voted to send Sonic to assist the Arctic Freedom Fighters. (StH: #180, #181, #190, #191, #197, #214, #215)

At later meetings, Penelope and the others discussed the issues of Geoffrey St. John's treachery and the citizens' fear of NICOLE, who had briefly fallen under the control of the Iron Dominion. Their deliberation on the latter was cut short when the wizard Ixis Naugus entered the council chamber and laid claim to the throne. Sonic engaged Naugus, but Penelope prevented the council from intervening, and threatened Hamlin with a charge of dereliction of duty. She reminded him that they had been elected as politicians, not fighters, and said that the issue should be decided diplomatically. The council and Sonic were soon caught up in an argument due to Naugus' magical influence, and Penelope's ire was turned towards Sonic when he insisted that he should simply defeat Naugus and end the discussion. Sadly, following the launch of the Death Egg Mark 2, Penelope and the rest of the council found themselves working with Naugus as their new king.(StH: #220, #223, #224, #231, #232)

Penelope and the rest of the council shortly thereafter voted to exile NICOLE to Freedom HQ, prompting Rotor's resignation from the council. The Platypus then joined the unanimous vote to create Rotor's Team Freedom and Sonic's Team Fighters for the purposes of protecting the people at home and abroad. The council continued to deliberate on the new constitution while dealing with Naugus' ego, such as when he dismissed Leeta and Lyco of the Wolf Pack. Fed up with their opposition of his will, Naugus planned to enslave the group using his magic. Unaware of this threat-or the creation of the Secret Freedom Fighters to combat it-Penelope and her compatriots met to ratify he new constitution. Much to their chagrin, the door to Military HQ-where they had been meeting-was secured by a broken lock. Rotor arrived to open it, and Penelope thanked him for his help, joking that he seemed constantly up to the various tasks pressed upon him. Penelope then faced the embarrassment of discovering that the constitution was missing, only for it to be found by Cream the Rabbit by her desk. Realizing that fellow councilor Rosemary Prower must have forgotten it at her home, Penelope was relieved-until the lights cut out thanks to the jinx effect of Larry Lynx. Their deliberation done, Penelope and her old teammates went out for some fun, and were observed wistfully by their old friend Larry.(StH:#235, #236; SU: #41, #42, #43, #44))


 * -|Dylan=

Dylan the Porcupine is a Mobian porcupine, a former member of the Substitute Freedom Fighters and was personally trained by Sally Acorn. After relocating from Knothole to New Mobotropolis, he was elected as one of the members of the new Council of Acorn created to see that the will of he people was heard in the governing of the Republic of Acorn.

Freedom Fighter
Dylan first appeared while on a training mission with Sally and his future teammates, which soon became a real mission stopping the Auto Automaton project with help from Geoffrey St. John. He was also the only one of the group able to defeat Sonic the Hedgehog when the latter attacked Knothole while acting under Dr. Ivo Robotnik's orders due to suffering amnesia, accomplishing this by staying quiet and effectively ambushing Sonic instead of making loud, cumbersome attacks like his comrades. Following this he helped to rescue the Knothole Freedom Fighters with help from a speed-less Sonic after the group was captured by Combots. A subsequent rescue led by Larry Lynx resulted in the group becoming an official team. (StH: #28, #38, PSM: #1, #2, #3, SL)

Council of Acorn
Dylan was later one of three Substitute Freedom Fighters elected to the Council of Acorn, along with Hamlin and Penelope Platypus. One of the most vocal of the council, he informed Sally and Dimitri the Echidna of the council's decisions regarding sending anyone to Angel Island without getting all the facts about the rebirth of Enerjak. He also agreed that pushing the assault on New Megaopolis was more important than reclaiming Freedom HQ from the Suppression Squad, and participated in the disciplinary court for Sally after she disobeyed that directive. Despite her violation of the order, Dylan was one of six council members to vote to clear her of all charges. Though imprisoned during the Iron Dominion occupation of New Mobotropolis, Dylan emerged unscathed physically, though he displayed an overpowering fear of NICOLE as a result of her brief corruption by the Iron Queen's use of Magitek. (StH: #180, #190, #191, #197, #215)

Dylan wasn't alone in his fears, and he and the rest of the council found themselves debating the issue when Ixis Naugus interrupted one of their meetings and laid claim to the throne. Dylan rose to Rotor Walrus' call to action against the wizard, only for Penelope to rebuke him and Hamlin. The entire council were subsequently influenced into an argument by Naugus' magic, which was interrupted when the Death Egg Mark 2 took off and initiated Operation: Clean Sweep. Passing through these events with no apparent harm, Dylan and the rest of the council were forced to acknowledge Naugus as their new king by the voice of the people. One of the first acts of the council under their new ruler was to exile NICOLE to Freedom HQ, and an otherwise unanimous vote led to Rotor's resignation. The Walrus and Sonic then came before Dylan and the others to propose the creation of Team Freedom and Team Fighters, which Dylan voted for despite Naugus' objections.(StH: #220, #223, #224, #231, #232, #235, #236)

Shortly thereafter, Dylan was present when Leeta and Lyco of the Wolf Pack arrived in answer to a summons that he and his fellow council members-with the exception of Sir Charles Hedgehog-knew nothing about. Charles led the two out of the chamber while the council continued to deliberate, and the pair ended up joining the Secret Freedom Fighters. Dylan and the rest of the council were later saved from Naugus' machinations by this group, as they thwarted the wizard's attempt to magically enslave the council. Gathering at Royal Military HQ to ratify the new constitution, the council found the door secured with a broken lock. As Dylan embarrassingly explained the predicament to an observing Vanilla the Rabbit, he was unaware that his former commander Larry Lynx was providing difficulties using his jinx abilities. With help from Rotor they entered the building, only to find that they had misplaced the constitution. After the document was found by a helpful Cream the Rabbit, Hamlin attempted to move proceedings forward, but was reminded by Sir Charles that Naugus wasn't present. Dylan then reminded his old teammate that policy required a majority of the council and the king, and pointed out that Hamlin always complained when policies were violated by others. Hamlin's call for a vote was interrupted by the lights going out, thanks once again to Larry. None the worse for wear, Dylan joined Hamlin and Penelope for some fun, unaware that Larry was observing them from nearby.(SU: #41, #42, #43, #44)


 * -|Rosemary=

Rosemary Prower is a Mobian fox and mother of the famous Miles "Tails" Prower. Rosemary is the wife of Great War hero and current Royal Army Commander Amadeus Prower, and sister-in-law to former-Royal Wizard and Neo Walker Merlin Prower. When Dr. Ivo Robotnik betrayed the kingdom and made his grab for power, Rosemary and Amadeus were transported off Mobius altogether by an alien race known as the Bem, and, after Amadeus was de-roboticized, were brought to the Bem homeworld of Argentium. Years later, Rosemary made her way back to Mobius with the help of Sonic the Hedgehog. Once back on Mobius, Rosemary became a popular writer and reformist activist, and aided Amadeus' efforts to begin a revolution against the Kingdom of Acorn in hopes of creating a democracy. As a result of her husband's efforts, the Council of Acorn, and by extension the Republic of Acorn, was created; Rosemary ran for and was elected to the council.

Becoming a Mother
Shortly after the Great War, Rosemary met and befriended Amadeus and his wizard brother Merlin. Eventually, she married the former and soon fell pregnant with their child. Both were jubilant with the prospect of becoming parents, and as such she did not want Amadeus to go on duty while she was on the verge of giving birth, wanting him to be present when their child was born. Amadeus's duties as Commander of the Royal Guard and Second-In-Command of the army, however, demanded he be present in the dismantling of the War Ministry. It was here Amadeus discovered Robotnik's plans to lead a coup against King Maximillian Acorn; however, he was captured and roboticized. Unaware of what had happened to her husband, Rosemary soon went into labor. She was hurried to the hospital by the young Princess Sally Acorn and Sonic the Hedgehog, and Dr. Quack delivered her child, a son, safely. Robotnik, Snively Kintobor and Amadeus then arrived, with the latter carefully-disguised to avoid showing his true nature to all present in Rosemary's hospital room. Rosemary offered Amadeus the baby to hold, though, now an emotionless Robian, he merely turned his back and left the room, seemingly rejecting the newborn. Rosemary, heartbroken at this, cried herself to sleep. Shortly afterwards, Robotnik launched his coup, and soon the Kingdom was in danger of being overtaken by his robotic hordes. Upon entrusting her son, now named Miles, to the care of Rosie and Julayla, Rosemary went out into Mobotropolis, desperately trying to find her husband. During the ensuing chaos caused by Robotnik's invading armies, Rosemary and thousands of others were captured and she was personally brought before Robotnik, who revealed to her what had become of her husband. Before she herself could be roboticized as well, Rosemary, along with the roboticized Amadeus, was teleported up to a Bem science cruiser under the command of Ceneca-9009, who restored Amadeus to normal. (StH: #129, SSS: #9)

Time in Space
Resolving to rectify the situation on Mobius, Rosemary, her husband and Ceneca-9009 journeyed to the Bem homeworld of Argentium, where they pleaded before the Bem High Council for action to be taken against Robotnik. Not only was the plea denied, but Ceneca-9009 was imprisoned for using the outlawed De-Roboticizer technology. Rosemary and Amadeus, however, were technically guests on the planet, and as such enjoyed a normal life, yet never stopped wishing to return to Mobius (a planet decreed off-limits when the Xorda declared war on its inhabitants) and see their son again. (StH: #129, #170)

During Ceneca-9009's trial (she broke several laws by journeying back to Mobius and de-roboticizing its entire Robian population), Rosemary and Amadeus saw Sonic, whom they recognized as the son of Jules Hedgehog and Bernadette Hedgehog, stand before the Council and justify Ceneca-9009's actions. Having always believed Tails' parents deceased (as did Tails himself), Sonic was beside himself with joy upon finding them on this alien planet. After the trial, (in which Ceneca-9009 was found guilty and sentenced to death), Sonic brought the couple up to speed on current events on Mobius, most notably the fact that Tails was just a big a hero as he was. They planned to return home, only to find that as per the laws regarding Mobius, Sonic's ship had been dismantled. Later, when Ceneca-10050 offered to arrange their departure, Sonic broke Ceneca-9009 out of prison, and planned to escape in the spacecraft procured by Ceneca-10050. Unfortunately, the craft arranged proved only to be a one-seater, and, with the alarm raised, there was no time to find another. While Ceneca-9009 declined to use it, Rosemary and Amadeus also refused, not wanting to leave the other behind. Before Sonic departed, she and Amadeus gave Sonic a package to deliver to their son. (StH: #129)

Upon Sonic's return from space, he revealed to Tails that his parents were alive and well and gave him the package. The package contained a customized watch, which contained a holographic message from Rosemary and Amadeus to Tails, expressing their love for him. (StH: #134)

Return to Mobius
When the Xorda and Black Arms fleets met in orbit of Argentium, they began a pitched space battle that caught the planet in the crossfire. Argentium was laid to waste by the battling space fleets, largely destroying the Bem civilization; Rosemary and Amadeus narrowly survived the devastation and lived among the ruins. Months later, salvation came when Merlin, brother to Amadeus, used powerful magic to transport himself, Sonic, Knuckles the Echidna and Tails in order to return the Prowers home. The family finally reunited, Rosemary embraced her son, remarking how big and handsome he had become. All present departed Argentium for Mobius, and Rosemary swore never to leave Tails behind again. (StH: #170)

Upon their return, Rosemary and the others came to live in Knothole, their broken family healing; seeing the current state of the Kingdom of Acorn's war with Robotnik, she became a popular writer and reformist activist. She also helped organize the attendance list for the wedding of Antoine D'Coolette and Bunnie "Rabbot" D'Coolette, which she attended. (StH: #170, #174)

When Knothole was destroyed in an assault by the Egg Fleet, Rosemary and the rest of the population were captured, though later freed by Sonic and his remaining comrades; as part of the rescue, Rosemary was sent, along with everyone else, to the newly-created haven of New Mobotropolis. By this point, Amadeus now believed the House of Acorn had failed to measure up to the Knothole Freedom Fighters (in terms of accomplishments and progress) in their war against the Eggman Empire. With the population safe in New Mobotropolis and, inspired by the democracy on Argentium, Rosemary and Amadeus decided that the time for change was at hand. Merlin cautioned otherwise, but Rosemary attempted to assure her brother-in-law that Amadeus wouldn't lead them astray, to which Tails agreed. (StH: #175, #176, #177)

Revolution
Amadeus began his revolution with a protest at the New Mobotropolis Civil Center, reading from a powerful and convincing speech written by Rosemary, allowing the Prowers to gain the support of half the population. When this landed Amadeus in prison, Rosemary and Tails were informed of the events by NICOLE; Rosemary insisted that they had thought the time was right and attempted to comfort Tails. That night, the two broke into the prison in order to free Amadeus; Rosemary was concerned that the monarchy had overreacted and that the increased tension could spill out into civil war; she felt they had to act immediately in order to stabilize the situation. Amadeus protested, not wanting his wife imprisoned either, but she felt that since it was her speech that put him in jail, it was her duty to free him - that, and, as his wife, she loved him too much to leave him there. Unfortunately for the Prowers, NICOLE alerted Sonic of the break-in and the hedgehog soon arrived at the prison. Rosemary stood between her husband and Sonic, insisting Amadeus had done nothing wrong; Sonic replied that he had lead a riot against the king, which technically counts as treason. Rosemary pointed out that half the city was on her husband's side, and Sonic said that while that shows people agreed with his views, that didn't make it right. She then pleaded that putting Tails' father in jail would hurt his friend, but Sonic remarked that as he had practically raised Tails, the young fox would get over it. To his surprise, this earned him a surprise punch from Tails, who told his parents to run. Rosemary was appalled when her husband did just that, voicing her earlier vow to never abandon her son, but Amadeus pointed out how capable and brave Tails was, and that this was their only chance. (StH: #178)

Upon arriving at Castle Acorn, the situation escalated; Rosemary angrily asked Elias if he would ignore the voices of the people. As tempers flared, Amadeus and Elias began to duel, with Rosemary watching from the sidelines; fortunately for both parties, Princess Sally Acorn intervened at the last moment, bringing the two to their senses and helping them resolve the conflict. Later, as they discussed the situation over tea, Rosemary sat with Megan Acorn and her baby Alexis Acorn. They worked out a new system of government involving a ruling council made up of six elected representatives with the current monarch serving as a seventh; the Kingdom was reformed into the Republic of Acorn. While Amadeus declined to run for election, Rosemary entered into the race for a position on the council, and won. (StH: #179, #180)

Council Member
The assembled council members did their best to aid separate groups during the crisis when the re-birth of the super-powered Echidna villain Enerjak. While the Chaotix, who sought to go to Angel Island to find the missing Knuckles in light of the recent events, the Council decreed that they and the Freedom Fighters were to stay in the city, insisting that acting on too little knowledge could lead to horrible developments. This was rectified when, upon appointing Sally as Field Leader of the Freedom Fighters, they allowed Sonic and Tails to go to Angel Island to find Knuckles, with Tails gaining his mother's approval. Rosemary, the council, and the royal family were secured in the city's bunkers when Enerjak arrived at the city's gates, while the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix assembled to fight him off. (StH: #180, #181, #182)

Following the Suppression Squad's invasion of Freedom HQ, Rosemary was one of the members who voted against the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix taking action, instead putting an emphasis on continuing the invasion of New Megaopolis. After discovering both Sonic and Sally went against the council's wishes, Rosemary and the rest of the council opted to punish Sonic and charge Sally with treason. During Sally's hearing, Rosemary attempted to link Elias' knowledge of Sally's actions to a larger "royal conspiracy." They later rescinded their decision after hearing Sally plead her case fully. (StH: #191, #197)

Following the apparent defeat of Eggman, Rosemary attended Mina Mongoose's victory concert. When the Iron Dominion invaded New Mobotropolis, attempts to secure the council failed when Castle Acorn was forcibly sealed shut. However, once the Dominion had fallen, the council resumed its usual activities. When a transmission came from the Arctic Freedom Fighters requesting assistance, the council decided that Sonic would be sent to the Northern Tundra. When Sonic delivered news that Geoffrey St. John had apparently turned on the Republic with the theft of the purple Chaos Emerald from the Special Zone, Rosemary voiced concern over what authority Geoffrey was acting on and suggested the Royal Family be moved to a safe location until he explained himself. Despite her protests, her suggestion was turned down by Elias who insisted his place was on the council and that she was greatly mistake to believe Sally would sit and hide either. (StH: #201, #208, #215, #220)

The council met shortly thereafter to discuss the citizens' fear of NICOLE, but were interrupted in their proceedings as Ixis Naugus barged into the meeting, asserting his claim to the throne. Sonic quickly intervened and became engaged in battle with the wizard, but Rosemary and her pairs began to discuss the possibilities behind Naugus' proposal. Much to Sir Charles Hedgehog's outrage, Rosemary remarked that the constitution merely called for a king without specifying who it should be. She and the others were unwittingly affected by Naugus' magic as he amplified their emotions to turn things to his favor. Before they could come to any resolution, however, the Death Egg Mark 2 launched, and all of them were caught up in the reality warping effects of Operation: Clean Sweep.(StH: #223, #224 #225)

Following Super Sonic's use of Chaos Control, which undid most of the operation's effects, Rosemary and her compatriots were forced to accept Naugus as their king. Her duties on the council prevented her from going to comfort Tails, who was struggling with the near death of his friend Antoine D'Coolette as well as the Sally becoming Robotnik's most dangerous enforcer, Mecha Sally. She and the rest of the council-with the exception of Rotor-voted to exile NICOLE, which Rotor responded to by resigning from the council. Rosemary then joined the others in approving the reformation of the Knothole Freedom Fighters into Team Freedom under Rotor and Team Fighters under Sonic. Team Freedom would protect the city from attack, while Team Fighters-including Tails-would pursue the Death Egg and attempt to rescue Sally. (StH: #229, #230, #231, #232, #235, #236)

Rosemary was prominent in challenging Naugus' attempts to force his will upon the council, reminding him that his power as ruler wasn't absolute. After receiving a surprise visit from Leeta and Lyco of the Wolf Pack, the council were unknowingly saved by the pair-as well as their new teammates, the Secret Freedom Fighters-from Naugus' machinations. Frustrated with the resistance put up by Rosemary and the others to his authority, Naugus determined to enslave them by performing a spell from his Ritual Chamber. Unawares, Rosemary and her compatriots met at Military HQ to ratify the new constitution, only to find the lock on the front door broken. This and subsequent issues-including the loss of the new constitution, which Penelope had thought delivered to Rosemary, and the lights going out-were in fact the work of Secret Freedom Fighter Larry Lynx. Eventually the new constitution was ratified, while Naugus blamed the tremor caused by his failed battle with the Secret Freedom Fighters on a cave-in. After Isabella Mongoose joined the council, Rosemary invited he to open the agenda on her first day. She then became involved in the discussion of Isabella's proposal to reverse NICOLE's exile, and joined the rest of the council in voting to do so-though NICOLE would return under "monitored conditions."(StH: #241; SU: #42, #43, #44)

Isabella Mongoose is the widowed wife of Arthur Mongoose and mother of Mobius' biggest celebrity pop singer; Mina Mongoose. She was one of many Mobians robotisized during the reign of Dr. Ivo Robotnik, but was ultimely derobotisized by the Bem. After this, she continued to reside in Knothole Village and later New Mobotropolis, after the formers destruction, and eventually became a member of the Council of Acorn.
 * -|Isabella=

Early Life During the Great War
During the Great War, Isabella was chased into the forest by a group of Overlander troops. Cornered against a tree, she found herself surprised when a soldier came between her and the enemy, protecting her from harm. The soldier, Arthur Mongoose, defeated the Overlanders and returned her home to safety. The two eventually fell in love and got married. They later conceived a child, Mina Mongoose. (StH: #120)

Life as a Robian
When Robo-Robotnik recaptured the city of Mobotropolis with his Shadowbot horde, Isabella was one of the many Mobians who was captured and subsequently roboticized. Her daughter desperatly attempted to find and free her, but was stopped by Sonic the Hedgehog, who realized Mina could not save her mother alone and that by that time Isabella was likely already roboticized. (StH: #76)

Mother & Daughter Reunited
Some time later, Isabella had her free will restored along with the rest of the Robians by the Sword of Acorns. Returning with the others to Knothole, Isabella was reunited with her daughter. (StH: #100, #102)

With her free will restored, Isabella began looking after her daughter once more. When Mina was trying to find out how to get Sonic's attention, Isabella told her of how Arthur got her attention during the Great War. When she realized Mina intended to become a Freedom Fighter just to get Sonic's attention, she went to tell Sonic how much her daughter cared for him, and asked he warned her of the dangers of being a Freedom Fighter. Their conversation was interrupted by an attack from Dr. Eggman's Über-Bot, and after this Mina realized she was not Freedom Fighter material. (StH: #120)

Pop-Star Daughter
When Mina decided to take up singing, Isabella fully supported her daughter. Attending her first concert, she realized how much Mina had grown up, and wished her late husband was there to see how grown-up Mina had become. (StH: #121)

Back in the Flesh
She was reunited with Mina again after being deroboticized by the Bem like most of the other Robians. She appeared to have been deroboticized at around the same time as Armand D'Coolette, Sir Charles Hedgehog, and Bernadette Hedgehog, and with no memory as to how it all happened. (StH: #123)

Isabella was seen after Sonic's return from space beside her daughter while a celebration was taking place in Knothole, and later played host to her daughter's band, the Forget Me Knots, and allowed them to practice their new music. (StH: #134, #220)

Councillor Mongoose
Following the resignation of Rotor from the Council of Acorn, Isabella was elected as his replacement. Her first motion as their newest member would be to overturn NICOLE's exile. Ixis Naugus, acting as king, furiously rejected this and stated that the council had already decided and that he protected the city. Isabella argued that Team Freedom had saved Naugus from Dr. Eggman and that NICOLE could have given them advanced warning. All of them discussed about bringing NICOLE back when a mutating Naugus leaves the council to decide unless he is needed for the tie-breaker. Her motion was carried out later that day with NICOLE returning to the city under monitored conditions. (StH: #241).
