History

Sonic the Hedgehog (comic)

Athair is the son of Janelle-Li, the only female Guardian (currently) in the history of the Brotherhood of Guardians. Athair followed the usual Guardian tradition of assuming the position around 8 or 9 years old, but then was taken by the Ancient Walkers to Haven, where his mother surmised that she had a different destiny. Athair resigned his position, and began learning from the Ancient Walkers. In addition, he became leader of the Lost Tribe of Echidnas as they sought their homeland of Albion. When his mother died, he was expected to reclaim the position, but he refused. His son Sabre, furious at him, took up the position at age 7. Worse for Athair, his wife Crystal-La was later captured and Roboticized. The Brotherhood of Guardians is an organization in the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic) series. ...

His first encounter with the Freedom Fighters was during time he spent in Downunda. While living in this desert, he took up residence in the Great Crater, once resting place of Angel Island, and became known among denizens of the continent as "Ol' Weird" due to his reclusive nature. During his stay, the Downunda Freedom Fighters brought him a guest: the then unconscious Miles "Tails" Prower. Nursing the Fox back to health, Athair told Tails stories of Mobius' past and revealed the young Freedom Fighter's destiny as the Chosen One. Athair afterwards disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

Delivering the Chaos Syphon to his beleagured allies, he watched as they overcame Master Mogul-only to vanish yet again. Shortly afterward, Athair returned to recruit Knuckles, bestowing upon him duties as Mitre of the Lost Tribe of Echidnas.

Personality

The Athair of the comics is a light-hearted individual, having long been freed from the responsibilities that have darkened the dispositions of so many of his family. However, he does have the horrors of his own past weighing on his mind. Sarcastic and prone to humor, Athair is given to talking in riddles, which confuse Sonic and Tails to know end and are often frustrating to Knuckles as well. Sonic Underground Athair is more serious, and brooks no argument when he makes a decision. However, he is shown to possess some of his comic counterpart's humor, and clearly thinks well of his great-grandson.
