History & Biography

Being more dapper and civilized than your average Ugandan Knuckles, he still behaves mischievously when given the opportunity. In the past, if he could get away with it, he wouldn't hesitate to sniff women in their privates or chase after them if they run away from him. But due to the raw reception this would gradually earn him, he currently is fairly restrained and more mature about engaging women.

The dating game at The Great Pug

In early 2018, during his time at the The Great Pug, he was the bachelor for several date setups by 'Rob' Roflgator and was paired with different women. Opportunity after opportunity he either blew his chances by doing something inappropriate or by being 'cucked' by Rob, enticing his dates to choose someone else just to see him suffer.

Unlike other Knuckles who might shrug it off, he got generally saddened by the constant failure. Unbeknownst to him, seeing him miserable was just what Rob enjoyed.

Criminal life and trial

Life hit him hard and he started engaging in different criminal activity. The exact events of what he did is unknown to the greater public but he was caught red-handed on the toilet by Chipz after harassing people.

Somehow he ended up on trial on April 4th, accused of touching kids inappropriately (RP btw). In the trial Ayytrox was acting as as prosecutor for Odomfire, the victim and Chipz as a witness. It was not a fair trial. The only words that his assigned defense attorney said was during the whole trial was "Objection!", repeatedly.

He was found guilty of sexual harassment and sentenced to life in prison. Days later he somehow escaped from prison and was seen jumping from a roof. Exactly what happened afterwards is unknown.

After the divorce

In July 2018, Pookie and Hydrand would quietly divorce over unspecified reasons. Starting in early August, while Rob was facing a shortage of workers and patrons at his new Golden Gator bar, Hydrand would take it upon himself to become a "slave hunter" to recruit new, interesting people from public worlds for the Gator RP Group. This earned him much commendation and respect for his efforts.
