Sir Connery

Sir Connery was a Knight in the service of the Kingdom of Acorn during the time of Maximillian Acorn, before being called away by the Ancient Walkers to become their Paladin, and charged him with tracking down and destroying dark magical forces on Mobius. A deep believer in the Ancient Walkers and valiant warrior, Connery performed his duties with grace and excellence, becoming affiliated with the Knothole Freedom Fighters as time went on. Connery perished bravely in battle, during a failed attempt to slay Mammoth Mogul with his own magical abilities, though he succeeded in destroying the corrupted Source of All.

Knight of Acorn/Paladin of the Ancient Walkers
Originally a member of the court of the Kingdom of Acorn, Sir Connery left the side of King Maximillian Acorn to answer the call of the Ancient Walkers. Gifted with the magical Sword of Light, he was given the task of slaying all evil magic users on Mobius. His exploits in this are unknown until the time he came to the aid of Knuckles the Echidna against the evil Black Death and his partner the Enchantress. Apparently having met them before, Connery broke through the wall of their inner sanctum, disrupting the spell of domination the Enchantress had placed on Knuckles. While Knuckles defeated Black Death, Connery overcame the Enchantress, putting an end to the duo's plans to enslave the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix as they had enslaved Knuckles. Incapacitating or killing the two with his sword, Connery dragged them off, leaving Knuckles to continue his search for the Sword of Acorns with the advice that he should seek Mathias Poe in one of the caverns of Angel Island. Connery would later presumably kill Poe, and later the alchemist Damocles the Elder, whom Poe had constructed a dummy of to hide the royal sword. (StH: #45, #47)

Fighting Mammoth Mogul
With his duty to destroy Dark Magic finished and his good work completed, Connery was sent and charged with guarding Merlin Prower and his precious captive, Mammoth Mogul (in his own Chaos Emerald), while on his quest to journey back to the Kingdom of Acorn in Knothole to track down and use Sword and Crown of Acorns to save the Ancient Walkers, who were on the verge of dying due to injuries sustained at Mogul's hands. With the majority of the Source presumed destroyed in the nuclear destruction of Robotropolis, the Sword and Crown were essential to saving them. Despite the seriousness of the quest, Connery bonded and had a strong friendship with Merlin, as he was told all about his beloved nephew and Chosen One; Miles "Tails" Prower. (StH: #162)

Though initially contested and overwhelmed by the Destructix, the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix quickly came to their aid. Upon dispatching the villains, Connery and Merlin appeared and bowed before King Elias Acorn. Despite the promising beginning to their quest to locate the Sword and rejoin it with the Crown, at this time, the Arachne, who had possession of it, broke into New Megaopolis' Egg Vineyard and use the Sword to create a dimensional breach with the newly-activated Egg Grape Chambers to free their master; Ixis Naugus from the Zone of Silence, and the harsh energies of the dimensional breach pushing the weakened Ancient Walkers past their limit and destroying them. With the Ancient Walkers' deaths, the charm over the Emerald containing Mogul broke, and Mogul escaped the emerald's confinements. (StH: #162)

Upon confirming with Merlin that Mogul's freedom meant that the Ancient Walkers were dead, Connery drew his sword and charged at the shielded Mogul, vowing he would rue the day he slew the noblest beings to grace Mobius. Mogul responded by knocking everyone out with a magical pulse and, stealing the Crown, departed. Connery, nevertheless, remained at Merlin's side, and joined with the Freedom Fighters and Chaotix, proceeding to track down Mogul, who had regained leadership of the Destructix, and Naugus, who had recently arrived with the Arachne, both of which began battling for the relics, intent on possessing the last of the Source of All. Connery and his allies joined the fray and did battle with the evil tyrants and their armies, with the objective of retrieving the relics. Connery centered his attacks on Mogul, though he was quickly repelled by Mogul's Chaos abilities. (StH: #162, #163)

When Mogul became pre-occupied with fighting Ixis Naugus, Merlin saw an opportunity to retrieve the Sword, and Connery went in to protect him as he attempted to do so. While Connery distracted Mogul with sword attacks, Merlin was inches away from the Sword, though he was quickly trapped by Mogul, who was aware of their efforts. Considering the pair "nettlesome" and useless relics (due to being loyalists to a dead trinity of would-be-gods) blasted Connery and Merlin into the sky, though were saved from death by Sonic and Knuckles (who he happily greeted upon seeing his friend) respectively. When Mogul was revealed to be the founder of the evil Order of Ixis, the two villainous forces merged. Upon seeing Ixis and Mogul laying down their arms and joining forces, Connery, despite being scared just like his comrades, told his comrades not to fear, as they would be vanquished. (StH: #163)

Final Act
An all-out battle with the combined forces of the Arachne and Destructix, Connery sought out and confronted Mogul on the battlefield. Connery witnessed the Crown violently rejecting Sonic the Hedgehog and Elias's attempts to purge it of Mogul's taint, and recognized it to have been permanently changed and corrupted by Mogul's harsh magics. Connery called out to Mogul, vowing not to allow the remnants of the Source of All to remain in his possession and, despite his efforts to wipe out Dark Magic worldwide, saw he had but one more task at hand. Sonic cheered Connery on (albeit trapped in a rock-made giant fist generated by Mogul to make him stay out of their fight). As the two men circled eachother, in preparation for battle, Mogul taunted Connery; saying "Your patron spirits are no more Connery, You are at my mercy". Connery, however, bravely faced down his enemy, and said "Nay, Mogul. They are with me now in my final act". Connery fought Mogul in a mighty sword battle, believing he could best him with his Sword, which was blessed with the power to destroy evil magics. Mogul, however, soon had him pinned down. As he remained trapped, Connery, recognizing it was the only way to end Mogul's rampage (which would have surely consumed the Kingdom and Mobius itself) apologized to King Elias, saying he must destroy the Source of All. Using all the power invested in him by the "highest of powers" (Ancient Walkers) and his very life force, and channeling it into his blade, Connery destroyed the corrupted Source (the Sword breaking apart and the Crown vaporizing) in a mighty magical blast, and also attempted to smite Mogul (though failed) and was reduced to ashes by the effort. (StH: #164)

Connery's remains, meanwhile, were gathered up, placed, buried and laid to rest in Knothole Graveyard. The remains of Tommy Turtle were later buried beside him. (StH: #170)

Personality
An honorable and chivalrous warrior, Sir Connery was undyingly loyal to the Ancient Walkers in whatever task they gave him. He despised evil in all its forms, particularly of the magical nature. Connery's manner was rather medieval in speech and behavior, but he was a champion for good willing to pay any price to thwart the forces of evil.

Powers
Originally, Connery possessed only his natural skills and strengths (like those of an average Mobian), most notably his sword fighting abilities, and proficiency in hand-to-hand combat. These abilities were enhanced during his service to the Ancient Walkers, as he was given the Sword of Light, that increased his sword fighting skills and gave him an advantage against magicians who would ordinarily prove beyond his abilities. Connery also received his own brand of magical abilities, most notably longevity, which allowed him to remain at his physical prime during his quest.

Background information
It is believed that Sir Connery's name is derived from Sir Sean Connery's name.
