Lord Knux

Knuckles the Echidna, or Lord Knux as called by nearly everyone in the game, is the ruler of Angel Island and leader of his own cult. He is also the guardian of the Master Emerald, in which the Sword Artists want to use in order to gain control of the land below. He orders Billy Bob, Richie and Michael to prevent the Sword Artists from getting the emerald and to stop the war. In the game, Lord Knux is usually near the Master Emerald shrine inside his castle. If you talk to him, he can give you the option to fully heal your entire party. Lord Knux will also appear in secret locations in the game, as well as have prominence in the final area, Aincrad.
