Past
Not much is known about Mister Stewart's past. At some point, he was an alternate on the practice squad back when he was in College. He also joined the goverment as an undercover agent.

New World Saga
Mr. Stewart was eventually assigned as a substitute teacher at the Station Square Elementary School, taking over for Miss Westerly. In secret, his government assingment was to spy on Christopher Thorndyke, who was hiding the newly-arrived Sonic and his friends in the Thorndyke Mansion. On the day of his introduction to Chris' class, Stewart personally introduced himself to Chris, and told him that he knew his parents and hat he was a big fan of his mother, who is a famous actress. Later the same day, while he was teaching his class, Stewart noticed Chris take a mysterious leave of absence. Deciding to investigate this, Stewart left his class to study on their own while he followed Chris in his car. When Chris ended up falling from the sky, Stewart tried to save Chris by getting beneath him and then cushion his fall with an inflatable car cushion in his car. However, Sonic beat Stewart to it and rescue Chris in mid-drop. Relieved that Chris was safe, Stewart returned to the school.

One day, Stewart got kicked out of his own classroom by Eggman's E-51 Intelligente. When he tried calling his superiors for help with sending G.U.N. forces to deal with E-51, they refused. Forced to take matters into his own hands, he tried summoning the Station Square Police Department to deal with E-51. Unfortunately, like his superiors, the officer who showed up saw no problems with E-51, and Mister Stewart angrily grabbed the burger the officer was munching on in frustration. This led to the officer chasing him instead. When Mister Stewart then saw Sonic had taken care of things, he was relieved, but was soon pursued by the officer again as he still had the officer's burger.

Learning of a plan to have Sonic recruited by G.U.N. to help fight Eggman, Mister Stewart passed a fake lead on a Chaos Emerald being found in an old warehouse to Chris, who later checked it out with Sonic, unaware that Rouge overheard and led Sonic and his friends in the wrong direction while she was caught in the trap.

He later gave Chris a pair of goggles to wear, which he secretly placed a tracking device in, allowing him to pursue Chris when he went to Tingalin Villa in the X Tornado with Frances, Tails, and Amy. However, the goggles are blown off of Chris by Eggman's E-35 Funfun, causing Mister Stewart to lose track of them when he located the goggles some distance away.

Chaos Emerald Saga
After G.U.N. succeeded with taking out Eggman's headquarters, Mister Stewart continued to work undercover as Chris' homeroom teacher. On one occasion, he took Chris and his classmates on a field trip to join Mr. Tanaka in his homeland of Japan.

Later, learning that Chris' father, Nelson, had gained possession of a Chaos Emerald that he intended to present as a wedding anniversary gift to his wife Lindsey, Mister Stewart followed Chris and the others to Filmdom City. When Nelson's plan fell apart and he and Lindsey began arguing, Mister Stewart watched with exasperation before Eggman crashed the sound stage in the Egg Fort II to retrieve the Chaos Emerald. In the confusion, Mister Stewart's fellow G.U.N. agents, Rouge and Topaz, were flung off Eggman's Egg Mobile and into him, knocking all three into a water tank.

Chaos Saga
The kids were not so sure about Mister Stewart at first until Episode 32, when they started to display a likeness to him, especially as he helped get them to safety during Perfect Chaos' attack on Station Square.

Shadow Saga
Having ditched his mission to help his students at Station Square Elementary School, Steward was given a new alias and assignment- to pose as a News Director and investigate Project Shadow - in the episode immediately following.

Egg Moon Saga
Mr. Stewart furtively entered the White House through a secret passage. His mission was to save the President, who had been captured and taken hostage by Dr. Eggman. Stewart freed the president and his secretary and put an inflatable doll in his place. Eggman was tricked and covered with the doll instead of the real president. Thanks to Sonic, he defeated Eggman.

Emerl Saga
In the Chaos Emerald Martial Arts Mash-Up, Mister Stewart was no match for Sam Speed, but Sam started before they rang the starting bell, causing Stewart to win the battle by default. In the finals, Scarlet Garcia recognized him as the News Director she helped during the Sonic Adventure 2 adaptation, so he forfeited his match with Lucky, saying "My cover has been BLOWN!"

Homebound Saga
On the day of the execution of Project Homebound, Mr. Stewart contacted Topaz and the commanders of GUN to go rescue the president who was imprisoned in his office by the agents dressed in black. Eventually, the campaign succeeded. After this event, Mr. Stewart and Scarlet watched from a distance how Sonic and his friends were returning to their world. Scarlet suspected that Stewart might be a government agent, but decided to keep the truth about himself secret.

Personality
A top secret spy, Stewart is very careful and secretive. However, he is not without sentimental emotions. His assignment as a teacher at Station Square Elementary School in particular changed him very much. At first, he was bored with his new assignment, but in time, he grew accustomed to it, and felt an obligation to protect his students, both like a real teacher and guardian. He took great care of his students, eventually to the point that he willingly disobeyed important orders from his superiors in order to protect his students.

After leaving school, Stewart was saddened about leaving his students, but quickly returned to his old job with renewed vigor. Stewart is also prone to panicking if someone is close to discovering his true identity.

Powers and abilities
Mister Stewart is skilled at hand-to-hand combat, being able to defeat several trained human agents single-handed. He is also good at basketball; he says he was an alternate on the practice squad back when he was in College. However in the Japanese version, he just states that he was good at the sport back in the day.

Equipment
As an agent, Stewart owns numerous gadgets, including a green-blue spy car, which can transform into vehicle for water travel.

Christopher Thorndyke
Because of his assigment at Station Square Elementary School, Stewart took a particular interest in Chris Thorndyke, who he has saved on multiple occasions and eventually developed a soft spot for. He often talked with Chris in the hall and asked him about various things, though that was probably more for the sake of gathering information for the government concerning whether or not Sonic and his friends really were living at Thorndyke Manor. Also, whenever Chris was very worried, Stewart would talk to him and help cheer him up.

Scarlet Garcia
Scarlet is by far the only person who can detect Stewart's identity. Despite the support of his curiosity, Stewart always ends up keeping his identity secret. When they met to investigate the Project Shadow, Stewart told her to take care of her swords and risk his life so that Scarlet is safe.
