{{Nihongo|'''Pachacamac'''|パチャカマ|Pachakama}} is a fictional anthropomorphic [[Echidnas|echidna]] in the [[Sonic the Hedgehog series|''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series]]. He was the powerful and mystic chief and warlord of the [[Knuckles Clan]] from 4,000 years ago and the father of [[Tikal]]. When Pachacamac rose to Chief of the Knuckles Clan, he led his people on series of wars to expand the clan's empire, eventually coming into conflict with the [[Nocturnus Clan]].<ref name="SC">''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood Chapter 10: Citadel Showdown|Sonic Chronicles, Chapter 10]]'': Ix recalls Pachacamac's face while talking to Knuckles, during the cutscene just before the series of final boss fights within the [[Nocturne]] fortress.</ref> To ensure his people's survival, Pachacamac orchestrated an attack on [[Altar of the Emeralds]], but ended up invoking the wrath of [[Chaos]] who killed Pachacamac and nearly wiped out the Knuckles Clan.

{{Nihongo|'''Pachacamac'''|パチャカマ|Pachakama}}, or '''Chief Pachacamac''', was a reddish-brown [[Echidnas|echidna]] with yellow stripes and blue eyes. He lived roughly four thousand years before the main events of the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (series)|Sonic]] continuity, as a leader and warlord of the [[Knuckles Clan]] (the echidna civilization of which [[Knuckles]] himself is the last descendant). [[Tikal the Echidna]] is his daughter. He is named after an Inca city located 40 km SE of Lima, Peru.

In ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', his first appearance and only speaking role in the games, Pachacamac is shown with a furry muzzle (unlike other echidnas, possibly due to his advanced age) and he exhibits a constant squint; although this quirk was absent from his ''[[Sonic X]]'' portrayal.

Being long-dead, Pachacamac has only ever been seen in flashbacks: during ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'' thanks to Tikal (in her incorporeal form as a glowing ball), and in ''[[Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood]]'', when [[Imperator Ix]] briefly recalls the face of his ancient foe.<ref name="SC">''Sonic Chronicles, Chapter 10'': Ix recalls Pachacamac's face while talking to Knuckles, during the cutscene just before the series of final boss fights within the Nocturne fortress.</ref>

Eventually, Pachacamac managed to bypass the sacred barrier protecting the Altar of the Emeralds, and lead a brutal attack there. When Pachacamac and his men went to steal the Emeralds, however, Tikal tried to defend the altar. Pachacamac ordered Tikal to get out the way and told her that the Emeralds were needed to give their people total power, but Tikal pleaded him to stop. Refusing to listen to a child, Pachacamac ignored Tikal and ordered his warriors to charge, tramping over Tikal and injuring the [[Chao]] living there. This act enraged the Chao's guardian, [[Chaos]], who appeared in front of Pachacamac when he got to the Emeralds, shocking him. Pachacamac was then killed by Chaos when the creature used the seven Chaos Emeralds to transform into [[Perfect Chaos]], who then proceeded to wipe out almost all of the Knuckles Clan. Before Perfect Chaos could destroy the rest of the world in its fury, Tikal sealed Chaos inside the Master Emerald with herself when she plead it to get Chaos under control.

However, he was also a cruel, power-hungry and greedy warmonger with boundless ambitions, showing no qualms about killing and plundering other countries. While amoral in his actions, Pachacamac was shown to be highly protective of his clan and would use the well-being of the Knuckles Clan's people as means of justifying his cruel actions.

For other characters with the same or similar name, see Pachacamac (disambiguation).

Template:Character Pachacamac (パチャカマ Pachakama?) is a fictional anthropomorphic echidna in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. He was the powerful and mystic chief and warlord of the Knuckles Clan from 4,000 years ago and the father of Tikal. When Pachacamac rose to Chief of the Knuckles Clan, he led his people on series of wars to expand the clan's empire, eventually coming into conflict with the Nocturnus Clan.[1] To ensure his people's survival, Pachacamac orchestrated an attack on Altar of the Emeralds, but ended up invoking the wrath of Chaos who killed Pachacamac and nearly wiped out the Knuckles Clan.

History

Pachacamac was a part of a family of chiefs that lead the Knuckles Clan. At some point in his life, Pachacamac had a daughter who was named Tikal.

While Pachacamac's mother lead the Knuckles Clan down a path of peace, Pachacamac yearned to expand their kingdom. When her mother died, Pachacamac inherited her chieftain rank of the Knuckles Clan. No sooner, Pachacamac made his move and directed his people into a series of successful and swift conquests and wars against the neighboring countries, pillaging and killing everyone that came in his way. However, he was unable to take control of the nearby Altar of the Emeralds where the seven Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald resided, as a sacred barrier protected the place. While Pachacamac had his ways supported by the majority of the Knuckles Clan, he found himself at odds with Tikal, who severely disapproved his acts of violence.[2]

Despite his daughter's disaproval, Pachacamac continued his wars of conquest until the expanding borders of the Knuckles Clan empire began pushing against those of the Nocturnus Clan empire, a rival Echidna clan led by Imperator Ix, which also sought conquest. In a war of expansion, Pachacamac led the Knuckles Clan against the Nocturnus Clan for supremacy, which left Pachacamac and his people in a constant bloody conflict with the Nocturnus Clan, where neither side refused to yield.[3][4]

Pachacamac and Tikal

Pachacamac being asked of Tikal not steal the Emeralds.

When it seemed like the Knuckles Clan was doomed when the Nocturnus Clan attacked them with their prototype Gizoids, Pachacamac, supposedly out of desperation in the face of his clan's destruction at the hands of the Nocturnus Clan, sought to steal the seven Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald from their altar and use their power to destroy their enemies.[5] When Tikal learned of her father's plan, Pachacamac was confronted by his daughter, who tried to talk him out of his belligerent ways, but Pachacamac insisted that the Emeralds were essential to the Knuckles Clan's survival and continued victories.

Eventually, Pachacamac managed to bypass the sacred barrier protecting the Altar of the Emeralds, and lead a brutal attack there, destroying the altar. When Pachacamac and his men went to steal the Emeralds, however, Tikal and the Chao tried to defend the altar. Pachacamac ordered Tikal to get out the way and told her that the Emeralds were needed to give their people total power, but Tikal pleaded him to stop. Refusing to listen to a child, Pachacamac ignored Tikal and ordered his warriors to charge, tramping over Tikal and injuring the Chao living there. This act enraged the Chao's guardian, Chaos, who appeared in front of Pachacamac when he got to the Emeralds, shocking him. Pachacamac was then killed by Chaos when the creature used the seven Chaos Emeralds to transform into Perfect Chaos, who then proceeded to wipe out almost all of the Knuckles Clan.

Personality

Pachacamac was described as fearless, brave and bold by the members of the Knuckles Clan. However, he was also a cruel, power-hungry and greedy warmonger with boundless ambitions, showing no qualms about killing and plundering other countries. While amoral in his actions, Pachacamac was shown to be highly protective of his clan and would use the well-being of the Knuckles Clan's people as means of justifying his cruel actions. Regardless of his devotion to his clan, Pachacamac held little fatherly love towards Tikal, being a cold and distant father and was willing to order his warriors to trample over her to get what he wanted.
