History[]
Sonic Adventure 2[]
The President first appeared in Sonic Adventure 2, when Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles "Tails" Prower catch up to his limousine on Central City's Route 101 in order to use his computer to pinpoint the location of Dr. Eggman, as the doctor had contacted the President seconds earlier supplying an ultimatum: that he either let Eggman take over the country, or he will use the Eclipse Cannon to wipe out every single major city in the United Federation, and planned on giving him 24 hours to decide, although Sonic's arrival forced him to abandon the ultimatum. The President is left bewildered at the overall events of Sonic and Tails' arrival, including the latter hacking into the monitor to track down Eggman before being notified of getting a call from their agent.
Sonic Battle[]
In Sonic Battle, the President learned that Dr. Eggman had gotten his hands on the Gizoid, a dangerous ancient weapon. Three days later, he sent Rouge out to handle the situation.[1]
Shadow the Hedgehog[]
The President makes his next major appearance in Shadow the Hedgehog, where he holds an admiration for Sonic and Shadow for saving the world in the past[2] (he also has a picture of the two heroes posing in front of the White House) and appears in several cutscenes trying to deal with the alien invasion of the Black Arms.
The President attempting to work for a better future along with the Commander Tower, from Shadow the Hedgehog.
In the game's Last Story and true ending, he is seen at the Guardian Units of Nations Headquarters where he and the rest of the people at the base see a recording of Professor Gerald Robotnik. The recording gave Shadow the motivation he needed to save the world once more by vanquishing Black Doom and eliminating the Black Arms for good by destroying the Black Comet with the Eclipse Cannon. The President realizes that the Professor truly was a hero and helped save the entire human race, he then vows to make a brighter future, paying homage to Gerald which Abraham Tower calls an excellent idea.
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)[]
In Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), the President requested Shadow to go on a mission to rescue Rouge from White Acropolis, something which Shadow informed Rouge of when he found her.[3]
Other game appearances[]
Sonic Heroes[]
The President is briefly mentioned by Rouge the Bat during Sonic Heroes; if Team Dark stays still for some time, she will say: "I haven't seen the President lately."
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood[]
In Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, the President is mentioned in G.U.N.'s codex entry, as well as in Rouge's.
Personality[]
The President is a rational and dignified man. Though he was initially bewildered by the antics of Sonic the Hedgehog and friends, he came to respect them after they helped save the world in the Space Colony ARK incident. He is a brave leader who refuses to surrender, even when faced with dire odds such as the Black Arms invasion.
