Mordred Hood

Mordred Hood, known as Lord Hood to his men, is a Mobian snake and Grandmaster of Dr. Eggman's Dark Egg Legion. He is the leader of the Mercia local D.E.L. chapter.

Meeting of the Grandmasters
Lord Hood was in his base of operations, Snottingham Castle, when he (like all other Grandmasters) received a falsified message from Eggman's nephew Snively, stating that Sonic the Hedgehog had defeated Eggman and his base, the Death Egg Mark 2, was plummeting into the ocean. Claiming those were his last words, Snively ordered all D.E.L. chapters to disband. Falling for Snively's fib, Lord Hood decided to "celebrate" the doctor's demise and his new-found freedom with punishments for his prisoners. While in the midst of ordering one of his men to carry out this order, he was teleported away and found himself seated at a table in a conference room, along with ten other equally-surprised Grandmasters. Eggman himself appeared in the room, confirming that he was neither dead nor had his Empire fallen. After cruelly reasserting his control over the Grandmasters, he set a new task before them, instructing them to search for and recover his missing Blue Chaos Emerald. The Grandmasters, Lord Hood included, were then forcefully returned home. (Sonic Universe: #37)

Personality
Lord Hood appears to be a remarkably cruel individual, taking sadistic delight in abuse of prisoners without any purpose in mind other than personal amusement. When he believed Eggman had been defeated he rejoiced at his temporary freedom, showing that, like most of the other Grandmasters, he has no desire to serve the Eggman Empire, only accepting Legionization as a means of claiming power. Despite his brash personality he was deathly afraid of his master Eggman, keeping completely silent as he was lectured and put back to work. (Sonic Universe: #37)

Mordred Hood's first name wasn't revealed in-story, but rather it was printed on a piece of concept art in his debut issue's Off-Panel.

Appearance
