Appearance[]
Grand Chief Whip typically wears white robes with purple trim over pinstripe suit trousers and a green waistcoat. He also wears the Golden Nose, a gold medallion in the shape of Robotnik's nose and moustache, as his badge of office.
History[]
Crawling from the Wreckage[]
Grand Chief Whip was first seen officiating at the induction ceremony of Brother Norman beneath the ruins of Citadel Robotnik. When discovered by Amy Rose, Johnny Lightfoot, and Tekno the Canary, he (along with other D.R.A.T. members) fired on them with ex-Trooper laser blasters, then escaped while Brother Norman attacked them in one of Robotnik's old vehicles.[1]
High in the Sky[]
He later tried to kidnap Norris Wimple with three other D.R.A.T. members, believing that Norris had taken a photograph of one of Robotnik's new secret weapons. Norris was saved by Amy and Tekno, although it later transpired that the photograph was actually of Tails.[2]
Riot Resolution[]
On the following New Year's Day, he joined a D.R.A.T. member named Wally Dithers in a plot to destroy Sonic's Control Centre in the Emerald Hill Zone. Dithers used his "Centre for the Undecided" to convince the weak-willed and indecisive local residents to destroy Sonic, distracting the hedgehog while Dithers and the Grand Chief Whip tried to destroy the Control Centre in a tank. However, Sonic saw through the ruse and managed to destroy the tank when Dithers was unable to decide what weapon to use.[3]
Forbidden Island[]
Chief Whip later made another plan to destroy the Freedom Fighters. He allowed the Kintobor Computer to detect the island where D.R.A.T.’s secret headquarters were, so the Freedom Fighters would come to their island to arrest them. However, D.R.A.T. had a force-field generator which disabled any incoming electrical machines. When Shortfuse the Cybernik flew towards the island and Tails flew towards it in his plane, the force-field began to disable Shortfuse’s armor and Tails’ plane, and they were forced to turn back. Later, Tails and Charmy Bee made it to the armor by flying and taking turns carrying each other. Once they reached the island, Chief Whip and his followers attacked them, wearing suits of high-tech battle armor. Tails flew away during the fight, with the members of D.R.A.T. mistakenly believing that he was retreating. However, Tails had gone to their control room and reprogrammed their technology-disabling force-field generator to disable all technology on the island, disabling the armor of Whip and his minions and leaving them unable to even move. Tails and Charmy then tied up Whip and the other D.R.A.T. members and used a boat to leave the island and finally put them in prison.[4]
Personality[]
Grand Chief Whip is evil and fanatically devoted to Dr. Robotnik, referring to him as "The master" and using expressions such as "By the great moustache!". Whip also possesses a vainglorious attitude, often talking about the “glory” of D.R.A.T. and Robotnik.
Powers and abilities[]
Grand Chief Whip is quite clever, able to come up with cunning plans and manipulate people.
