Paladin is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He was a young Overlander boy who lived long before the Great War.
History
Paladin left his city and crossed the Badlands to do some target shooting with his revolver. At Roundabout Creek, he met the young Mobian Emerson Acorn, son of King Theodore. Paladin demonstrated his shooting by hitting a branch of the tree above him, intriguing the young Mobian. He let Emerson try to shoot a branch himself, but the recoil knocked the young prince on his back. Paladin then sought to show off his ability by shooting something challenging, something that moves, and he took aim at a nearby bird. However, before he pulled the trigger, Emerson jumped in the way of the shot and was killed.[1]
Shocked by what he had unintentionally done, Paladin fled, leaving Emerson's body to be found by his father and other searchers.[1]
