Puccini

Puccini is a resident of Soleanna in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). He is a professor who presumably lives in New City. Due to his occupation, he apparently has a very busy schedule, and is seen driving a red car.

In Shadow's story, Puccini plays a major part in Shadow's eighth Town Mission, although it is Nicolo who provides it. He has noticed Puccini driving along the highway, eager to reach his destination, but Puccini is unaware that the road is overrun with Iblis' creatures and the path is blocked by lasers. Worried about his safety, Nicolo gives Shadow his mission: he must protect Puccini's car from destruction by defeating the monsters on the highway.
