History[]
Film series[]
Past[]
Years ago, Pachacamac trained Knuckles the Echidna, molding him into a powerful warrior. When Sonic the Hedgehog was living with Longclaw on their island, Pachacamac and his tribe, seeking the location of the Master Emerald, would follow Sonic to Longclaw's home and attack it in order to seize them. While Longclaw was trying to escape with Sonic however, Pachacamac successfully shot her with an arrow, heavily injuring her and making them crash. As Pachacamac and his tribe approached them however, Longclaw sent Sonic to an unknown planet through a Ring portal. Pachacamac and his tribe charged at Longclaw as the Ring portal closed, thus leaving him unable to follow Sonic.[14][15]
TV shows[]
Knuckles[]
Chief Pachacamac's spirit is summoned when Knuckles, unsure of his purpose after successfully recovering the Master Emerald, invokes the Echidna elders for guidance. Pachacamac instructs him to carry on the legacy of the echidnas by taking Wade Whipple as an apprentice and teaching him the ways of their people.[16]
Pachacamac appears to Wade in his version of The Great Battleground in the Sky, which happens to be a bowling alley. He allows Wade to refer to him as "Mac" as opposed to his full name due to Wade's inability to pronounce it. Mac helps Wade through his Battleground by having the lesson sung to him in the form of a low-budget rock opera. Mac then pulls out a staff and uses its power to cast Wade into the performance as Knuckles himself.[17]
Personality[]
Described as a power-hungry bad guy by Sonic, Pachacamac was determined to seize power, even at the cost of other beings. Notably, he would hunt Sonic for his power and actively sought to kill Longclaw when she got in the way.
In the Knuckles television series, he seems to have a much kinder, humbler and more cheerful personality. He may have been humbled before his death, becoming wiser and no longer desiring power, especially Sonic's.
Powers and abilities[]
Pachacamac is shown to be an excellent archer, capable of hitting a moving target like Longclaw from a great distance.
But as a ghost, he has proven difficulty controlling his phasing abilities as he tried to hug Knuckles he fell through the floor after going through him and later bumped into the window.
Weapons[]
Pachacamac wielded a primitive, yet effective bow that used arrows with pointy metal tips.

Trivia[]
- Pachacamac's mask resembles his eyebrows and facial hair. It also has the same rectangular line markings on the forehead area that identify him.
- Pachacamac's origins in the Sonic the Hedgehog film series diverge significantly from his portrayal in the established canon of the video games.
- Pachacamac lived 3,000 years ago in the distant past in the video game's timeline, whereas this iteration is contemporary with Knuckles.
- Unlike the games, this version of Pachacamac currently has no known connection to Angel Island - though the island appeared in an early draft for the sequel.
- It is currently unknown whether this incarnation of Pachacamac has a daughter named Tikal.
- This is the second version of Pachacamac who is of a good alignment. The first version was Pochacamac from Sonic the Comic though this version did start out villainous before changing to good.
- This is the first version of Pachacamac who understands the modern times and terminology due to being alive until a decade prior.
- This marks the first entertainment incarnation of Pachacamac to have a Japanese voice actor after Toshihiko Nakajima, who voiced Pachacamac's Sonic X counterpart, died on 8 September 2017.
- Pachacamac's actions in the flashbacks of the series faintly mirror his actions of the flashbacks in Sonic Adventure as in both cases, he attempts to steal the Master Emerald by raiding another country. However, there are major differences in this version. In the movie version, Pachacamac had already found the Master Emerald himself and claimed it for his own while his warmongering actions were provoked by the owls stealing it from him. Whereas, in the games, Pachacamac only had just discovered the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds wanted to seize them for his own, but was ultimately killed by Chaos in the process.
