Harvey Who

Harvey Who once served King Maximillian Acorn as the head of the Secret Service. While loyal to the kingdom, Harvey's views would always conflict with the King's. Harvey advised the king to not trust Kodos, to kick Ixis Naugus out of the kingdom, to not exile Nate Morgan and not to take in Julian Kintobor. The King however went against every suggestion of Harvey's leading to the downfall of the Acorn Kingdom. Harvey eventually stepped down as leader of the Secret Service, and founded the the temporary organization of the Secret Intelligence Division.

Harvey Who and his agents had managed to infiltrate many of Robotnik's plans and schemes, allowing the Freedom Fighter groups they contacted to foil them easily. After Robotnik realised the Freedom Fighters must have had an inside man and had Snively and Crabmeat do some literal digging with a shovel, they found a Mole miner who Robotnik interrogated. He asked "Who is the head of the Secret Intelligence?" and the Mole replied "That's right!" Misunderstanding, Robotnik had his SWATbots take away the mole and went on to his next plan, the Wheel of Misfortune, which Harvey had secretly infiltrated disguised as a robot mover. He informed the Knothole Freedom Fighters of every move Robotnik made, and accompanied them when they made their attempts to stop Robotnik in his tracks and occsaionally left behind notes to Robotnik's lackeys.

Later when Sonic the Hedgehog and Sally Acorn went to Renobotnik after a hard day's work, Harvey had infiltrated Robotnik's casino as a card dealer and was watching the two and slipped Sonic a card with a warning note, saving him from having his head crushed. After Sonic used static electricity to short out a particuarly large SWATbot, he collapsed and was captured by Robotnik who tied him to his Wheel of Misfortune so his robots could vaporise him, but Harvey managed to turn the lights off and saved Sonic and brought him back to Secret Intelligence Headquarters, where Sonic said he was impressed with Harvey's disguises, how he rescued him, and asked Harvey a single question: "How many licks does it take to get to the chewy center of a lollipop"? To which the owl replied "That information, my dear boy-- is classified!"

Harvey Who was never seen after the first war against Robotnik reached its end; however, he most likely remained hidden but close to the inhabitants of Knothole and New Mobotropolis, with his whereabouts only known to the Royal Family. Upon Ixis Naugus seizing the throne, Elias Acorn sought out Harvey Who for assistance. Despite giving Elias a hard time at first, Harvey saw that Elias was worthy to be the king, unlike Elias' father, and began to create plans with Elias to take down Naugus with a group of "Secret Freedom Fighters".
