Arrakis

Arrakis was an echidna. He was the leader and first Mitre of the Lost Tribe of Echidnas in the days surrounding the creation of Angel Island. Unlike Jordan and Kayla-La (the great-great-grandparents of Dimitri and Edmund), Arrakis felt that the best way to avoid the White Comet (a large astrological body that threatened to destroy them) was to abandon Echidnaopolis and find a new home on Mobius. Kayla-La's plan to lift Echidnaopolis into the sky was approved, and Arrakis had only one more say in the matter: that the people be given the opportunity to decide whether they wanted to stay in Echidnaopolis or follow him to find a new life. The Ancient Walkers later appeared to Arrakis as he wandered Mobius with the Lost Tribe, telling him to lead his people to the Echidna's first city,Albion.

Arrakis died centuries before the tribe found Albion, and the tribe itself was all but forgotten by the people of Echidnaopolis. In the present day, however, the Ancient Walkers chose Athair to replace Arrakis, and after many years he chose Knuckles to take his place. Knuckles then led the tribe home to Albion, fulfilling Arrakis' dream at long last.
