Hamlin Pig

Hamlin is a Mobian pig who was personally trained by Sally Acorn and became a member of the Substitute Freedom Fighters. 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. During this time, Hamlin suspected Geoffrey St. John 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.

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)

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. (StH: #180)

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 defences were down. Hamlin almost succeeded as the case against Sally was too strong, but she said that she would always wait for the orders of the council even during a battle and would neglect to go to the Chaotix for any future help. Or that the council could trust her with the duty she's had all her life and drop the charges. Everyone but Hamlin then voted for the charges against Sally to be dropped. Hamlin then revealed to Sally during a brief conversation, that he joined the council because he was always forgotten and never taken on any missions. So if he himself couldn't fight for his people, he would make sure the Freedom Fighters fought for them correctly. (StH: #197)
