Damocles the Elder

Damocles the Elder was an alchemist goat who wielded dark magic in his solitary quest for power. He first became known to the heroes of Mobius during Dr. Robotnik's reign over the planet, when Knuckles the Echidna set out on his quest to find the Sword of Acorns. Having sought out the guidance of the Ancient Walkers at the suggestion of his friend Tails, he was told of a number of beings he should seek out in his quest, including Damocles. Eventually, Knuckles found him-or so he thought-in the company of Mathias Poe, a raven wizard who had also been mentioned by the Walkers. In fact, this Damocles was merely a mockup, a dummy created to hide the Sword of Acorns that Poe used to amplify his own powers. With the image destroyed, Knuckles pursued Damocles no further; it would fall to Sir Connery, Paladin of the Ancient Walkers, to hunt Damocles down and kill him. (StH: #42, #46, #162)
