Battlekukku XV

Battlekukku XV is the current leader of the Battle Bird Armada. His station grants him the designation "Battle Lord" to all others, in addition to being the fifteenth member of the armada's Battlekukku lineage as his name implies. He is a towering figure who stands well above most of his soldiers and dwarfs even the average Mobian's stature. As the head of the aramda, it is his duty to lead his people in their efforts to "command the skies, find our fabled homeland, and unlock the mysteries of our forebears" while providing them with the proper life he believed could only be found in their organization. At some point XV forged a loose alliance with the Eggman Empire and became their main military force for a region of the Mobian Ocean while establishing the armada's base of operations near Cocoa Island to make use of it as their personal training grounds. Not being part of the Dark Egg Legion forces worldwide, the Battle Lord realized any news reaching them would be out-of-date and focused mainly on achieving the armada's goals. He would suffer a severe setback with the desertion of a number of less-committed members, most notably the Babylon Rogues, whose disloyalty and ignorance of the Battlekukku lineage lead XV to regard them as nothing more than disdainful vagrants. Bunnie D'Coolette was the first Freedom Fighter to encounter him, after he mistook her for a Dark Egg Legion member; taking advantage of the ruse, she managed to get quite a bit of information out of him before her husband Antoine escaped his cell and was intercepted by XV's successor Speedy.
