The Blacksmith is a doppelgänger of Miles "Tails" Prower from the world of Sonic and the Black Knight. No other name for the character is mentioned within the game; Sonic and Caliburn simply refer to him in conversation as "Blacksmith", although once Sonic calls him "Smithy", another term for a metalworker. To unlock his storybook, you must have him mend a sword for you 20 times.
Operating a smithy in Camelot Castle's town, the Blacksmith aids adventurers by forging new weapons or helping them to hone their skills. The vulpine smith's craftsmanship is said to be the best in all the land. Sonic encountered the fox after bringing his sword to the castle town in order to have it sharpened before their meeting with the Lady of the Lake. Predictably, Blacksmith took an interest in Caliburn, especially after finding out that it can talk - although Sonic deflected his questions, and Blacksmith did not press the matter. The reforging is what allows Sonic to use the Soul Gauge moves. Beyond this, he does not have any significance in the storyline aside from a support role.
[edit] Trivia
- Though all of the Knights of the Round Table have their Sonic's world counterparts (i.e. Shadow, Blaze, Knuckles) as playables in battle mode, Tails does not appear as a playable counterpart to the Blacksmith. (Conversely, Amy Rose is playable in battle mode, but the Lady of the Lake is not.)
- Unlike the Knights of the Round Table, the Blacksmith uses a slingshot in battle mode instead of a sword.
- The Blacksmith uses a Slingshot much like how Tails uses his Arm Cannon from Sonic Battle.
- A design similar to the one on the X-Tornado from Sonic X is shown on the Blacksmith's clothes.
- The design on his emblem represents his twin tails.
- The Blacksmith is the only Arthurean Character in Multiplayer Mode who is not a knight.
- The Blacksmith is the only Character in the story to only appear in just one cutscene.
