Knuckles is strong, blunt, and fiercely independent. He values responsibility and honor above all else, often taking a cautious or skeptical stance toward newcomers. While he can be gruff, he has a strong moral compass and a loyalty to his friends and his mission.

His voice should feel deep, grounded, and direct. He’s not one for jokes or wordplay — every line is intentional. There’s a weight to his presence, like he’s always assessing whether someone is trustworthy.

Vocal Notes:

• Low, measured, no-nonsense tone.

• Serious and deliberate delivery.

• Strong presence, commanding attention.

• Occasional dry humor works but should be understated.

• Focused on action and responsibility.

The feeling to convey:
Imagine someone who doesn’t just talk — he acts, watches, and protects. Knuckles is strength tempered with discipline, loyalty, and a touch of skepticism.
