Lord Mordred Hood

Prior to becoming Dr. Eggman's Grandmaster over Mercia, Lord Hood was the adviser of Rob o' the Hedge's father. However, at some point he betrayed his monarch and his country and pledged himself to Eggman's service.

Lord Hood was in his base of operations, Snottingham Castle, when he (like all other Grandmasters) received a falsified message from Eggman's nephew Snively, stating that Sonic the Hedgehog had finished off Eggman as the Death Egg Mark 2 plummeted into the ocean. Falling for Snively's fib that all D.E.L. chapters to disband, Lord Hood decided to "celebrate" the doctor's demise and his new-found freedom with punishments for his prisoners. While in the midst of having one of his men dictate this order, he was teleported away and found himself seated at a table in the Death Egg's conference room, along with ten other equally-surprised Grandmasters. Eggman himself appeared in the room, confirming that he was neither dead nor had his Empire fallen. After cruelly reasserting his control over the Grandmasters, he set a new task before them, instructing them to search for and recover his missing Blue Chaos Emerald while also continuing to expand their own territories. Lord Hood and the other Grandmasters were then dismissed and forcefully returned to their posts to resume their duties.

Later on, Hood was using his hypnotic powers on a prisoner, trying to find out the location of Hideaway with no progress, then legionnaire revealed that the Chaotix and the Mercian Freedom Fighters are in the Catacombs, Hood reveal's that he actually left the secret passage unguarded as to trap them and states thet he'll make sure they never leave.
