Ix

Imperator Pir'Oth Ix, also referred to as Imperator Ix or just Ix for short, is the leader of the Nocturnus Clan of echidnas, as well as the main antagonist of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood. Throughout the course of the game, he manipulates the good nature of his underling, Shade, and stands primarily behind his massive army. Though seemingly a coward, he eventually goes on to prove himself more than capable of being a threat.

Ix was one of the few characters to have vocal effects in the original release, making deep grunts when attacks (although, to be fair, several other enemies used the same voice). He will be voiced by Farfieldfencer in the Remaster.
