Pachacamac (Archie)

Chief Pachacamac is a fictional character in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series and its spin-offs. He was the chief of an ancient caste of warriors from Albion known as the Knuckles Clan, and the father of Tikal. During the second colonization attempt of the Echidnas, Pachacamac let his clan against the native Felidae and later the Nocturnus Clan for control over their settlement in Soumerca. He was eventually killed by Chaos when he incurred the wrath of the creature by attempting to take the Chaos Emeralds to turn the tide of the war.

Discovering New Lands
Pachacamac was the leader of the caste of warriors from Albion, known as the Knuckles Clan, which escorted groups of scientists and intellectuals from Albion during the echidnas' second colonization attempt to explore Mobius and spread echidna culture. Eventually, the voyagers arrived in Soumerca, where they began setting up their settlement in Pais Misterioso, but soon found themselves at odds with the native Felidae. With the Knuckles Clan backing him up him, Pachacamac opted to stay and defend their settlement with support from the advance scientist caste, the Nocturnus Clan. However, the majority of the colonist scientists refused such bloodshed and departed for other regions to colonize, leaving Pachacamac furious about the betrayal of those who needed the Knuckles Clan to mount the expedition.

During the initial war with the Felidae, the Knuckles Clan fought alongside the Nocturnus Clan. Shortly after dedicating themselves to the fight, however, a rift opened between Pachacamac and the Nocturnus Clan's leader, Pir'Oth Ix, as their ideological differences caused them to clash, which resulted in Pachacamac declaring war on the Nocturnus Clan as well. Adopting a more rustic approach, Pachacamac proclaimed himself Chief of the Knuckles Clan, and led his clan down a reactionary path with focus on warfare in a three-way between the Knuckles Clan, the Nocturnus Clan and the Felidae.

At point during the war, Pachacamac accompanied his daughter Tikal when they discovered the Mystic Ruins, along with the Chao Garden that was supported by seven Chaos Emeralds where Chao resided. Before he could evaluate their discovery though, Pachacamac received a message from his scouts about the Felidaes' activities, and he ordered Tikal to say at the ruins while he rounded up his troops for battle.

Final Conflict and Death
As the Knuckles Clan became overwhelmed by both the Felidae and their constant attacks, and the Nocturnus Clan and their much more advanced technology, Pachacamac sought to harness the power of the seven Chaos Emeralds at the Chao Garden to turn the tide of war in the Knuckles Clan's favor. When Pachacamac and his attempted to take the Chaos Emeralds by force, however, he was opposed by Tikal and the Chao, who wanted no part in the conflict between the three sides.

Believing his way to be right as it was for the good of their people, Pachacamac ignored Tikal's warnings and ordered his men to ruthlessly attack the Chao Garden, trampling over Tikal and the Chao, enraging their protector, Chaos. When Pachacamac got to the Chaos Emeralds, Chaos absorbed the Chaos Emeralds' power and used his new-found strength to wipe out the entire Knuckles Clan, Pachacamac included. Tikal, as the sole survivor, then managed to stop Chaos from continuing his rampage across the planet by trapping herself and Chaos within the Black Emerald.
