The Seaside Hill Zone Leader is a shark currently in charge of the Seaside Hill Zone. As Zone Leader, he is responsible for all politics within the Zone, as well as defending the area from attacks by the New Robotnik Empire.
History[]
In 2012, Doctor Ivo Robotnik launched a large offensive on the Seaside Hill Zone, sending "hundreds" of Badniks to attack as part of his global assault on Mobius. At the time, the Zone Leader had made a deal directly with Don Long-Legs, with the head of The Family providing support and muscle in event of attack, in return for money and personal favours. Upon sighting the Badnik attack, the Zone Leader contacted Long-Legs for help.
Later that day, the Zone Leader was joined by Herne and other Family members in defence of the Seaside Hill Zone. Later still, he received a visit from Harvestman with a package that was supposed to turn the tide in his favour. Unfortunately, due to a mix-up involving Big the Cat back at Buddy's Bistro, Harvestman could only provide the shark with an extra spicy pepperoni pizza.
Furious that Don Long-Legs had appeared to renege on their deal, the Zone Leader angrily discarded the pizza into the melee of Badniks behind him. At the same time, the "Little Friend" bomb that Big had just lost on his way to the Seaside City Zone also landed in the scrap, destroying all of the Badniks. The Zone Leader was left dumb-founded that a pizza had saved the day.
Personality[]
The Seaside Hill Zone Leader is a well-dressed shark, befitting of his position as the area's leading politicians. However, his position at a time of war is a stressful one and this side of him came out particularly during the battle against the Badniks. Owing to being a shark, the Zone Leader exhibited fury when he believed that Don Long-Legs had abandoned him in his Zone's time of need.
Trivia[]
- Unlike fellow Mobian shark Sharka Khan, the Zone Leader appears to have no difficulty living and breathing on land, not requiring a special serum to rule a Zone.
