Pravda

Pravda was the High Councilor of Echidnaopolis in 2004 (technically 3236) and the great descendant of the Menthor (the High Councilor at the time of Dimitri and Edmund, who rejected their plan to restore the Floating Island to Mobian's surface for his own gain). Despite his official stance on the limitations of technology in Echidna society, Pravda's home was filled with unnecessary technology and machinery, including a high-definition TV and sound system. He was abducted by Lien-Da and the Dark Legion and had a chip implanted in his brain so that he could be controlled. The Dark Legion then had him appoint an android operative Benedict, in order to gain a foothold in Echidna politics. The plan was foiled however when Knuckles generated an EMP which destroyed his circuits. The EMP also destroyed the chip in Pravda's brain, leaving him in a vegetative state.

Pravda's name means "truth" in Polish and Russian.
