Bio: An extremely loyal if not overly fanatical member of the Dark Legion, Cobar holds the distinction of being a “needlemole”, a sleeper agent and outside man tasked with keeping out of the influence of any alliances the Dark Legion commit themselves to and serve as an untainted source of information of both the outside world and of any projects or new tech the Legion receives. In his case, he was assigned to stay out of sight on the outskirts of New Megaopolis as a spy on Dr. Eggman, and later as an external resource and expert on Eggman's tech when the Dark Legion joined forces with him. Placed there sometime during the Dingoes' alliance with Eggman, he was initially tasked with studying Eggman's tech and sending back a means of disrupting and destroying it to the Legion forces, though his contact with them was disrupted during the Legion's schism and civil war. During that time, he had discovered and studied Eggman's most diabolical machine: the Egg Grape Chamber, a series of pods that drain their captives' life energy for use in powering more of the madman's devices. By the time he was able to learn its secrets, however, several Echidnas had already been transferred there, and were slowly wasting away. Horrified at this turn of events, Cobar attempted to hack into the system and free the captives, but only managed to rig several of the pods' teleporters to warp their contents out to an undetermined location before he had to pull out, barely managing to avoid being detected by A.D.A.M, Eggman's new sentient computer program.

His first encounter with Rotor came shortly after Eggman's destruction of Knothole; during a routine trolling of Eggman's Egg Network, he stumbled upon the spiked connection set up by NICOLE during her takeover of the nanite city created by A.D.A.M. Curious about how and why the Freedom Fighters managed to spike the doctor's network with their own series of servers, he set up his own account on it, using it to surreptitiously spy on their transmissions. Over time, however, he noticed that their spiked connection was used for more than just a quicker way of relaying information to other Freedom Fighter cells; as more and more Fighters where logged onto the server, some of them grew bolder and started setting up more... recreational sites. This wasn't surprising to him; back during the time he was off-duty, he'd often relax by going onto the Legion's own network and chat with other Legionnaires on some of the more secret and risque hubs. And, having been on assignment for several long months, he was in some dire need of release, himself. For a day or so, he quietly observed the sites he found, pawing off at the images and chats he encountered whenever he had the chance. His favorite site was a gay Mobian chat/video sharing hub dubbed “Mobian Tailraisers”, a tasty little group of males willing to bare all for each other's pleasure. It was okay, nothing like the gay servers set up in the Legion's network, but it would do for him.

It wasn't until he noticed Rotor's contributions to the site that he got really interested in it; he knew that, with their lack of advanced technology, any toys owned and used by the Freedom Fighters on the site would be more organic in nature, and while seeing someone stuff their tailhole with something got him off, regardless of what it was, he was less enthused with seeing said something being a whittled stick or piece of crystal than he would be if they were silicon or metal. To his disappointment, most of the members of the site didn't even have that, instead opting for simple ass and crotch views and cumshot videos. He was about to give up and move on to another site, when he discovered the account of Rotor, under the username “Rotorooter”, and, to put it simply, he fell in love; Rotor was the only one who used any sort of mechanical sex toy, and the ones he used were very impressive, to say the least. The Freedom Fighter was quite a looker himself, he had to admit; being born into the Dark Legion meant having a natural domineering streak, and he always had a thing for the chubbier males, so Rotor's blubbery frame and submissive attitude was quite appealing to him. It was surprisingly easy for him to pass off as a fellow Freedom Fighter and gain Rotor's trust, spending a good deal of his free time talking with the walrus about various sex-related topics, mostly their shared love for high-tech sex toys. Over the months, though, he grew a genuine respect for the Freedom Fighter and his impressive knowledge of cybernetics, and found himself falling for the big lug.

Things got a bit hairy, though, when he was informed by both Rotor and the Legion's missing Grandmaster Dimitri about the looming threat of a returning Enerjak; being the first contact with the Legion in almost a year, Cobar was eager to serve them again...until Dimitri requested an update on Eggman's tech, wishing to form an alliance with the doctor and wanting to know if he had any machinery that could aid them in their fight against the chaos god. Cobar, torn, reluctantly informed the Grandmaster of the Egg Grape Chambers, theorizing that it could be used to pacify the beast and drain him of his considerable power. He didn't like it; his close call with hacking into the Chamber's programming, combined with the fact that those he saved were still listed among the missing, had scarred him, and he didn't wish to relive such a trauma, but duty was duty. The suggestion was ultimately fruitless, as Enerjak escaped, sending a wave of chaos energy that disabled and reverted to flesh much of his cybernetics, despite the shielding his hidden base provided, mimicking how the being destroyed the rest of the Legion's implants on Angel Island.

From then on, his services were called in more often, as the Legion formed a permanent alliance with Eggman, much to his consternation, though he still had plenty of free time to fool around with Rotor online. Unfortunately, his fears about the alliance were well-founded, as a couple of weeks later, Dimitri sent him several scans of what he was told was an explosive device installed in their new implants – a “gift” from their benefactor, in order to keep them loyal. His orders: to find some way of disabling and removing the bombs. This wasn't such an easy task, though; Eggman, brilliant scientist that he was, created an ingenious explosive, the likes of which he had never seen, before. Stuck, he went online to have some fun with Rotor, in order to clear his head...and got the brilliant idea of roping the walrus into helping him with his research, sending him snippets of the schematics he was given by Dimitri for him to study, and claiming he was working on a brand new sex toy that he needed help building. 

For a while, it worked like a charm, with Rotor's insight helping break through many of the barriers that kept Cobar from making any headway. However, Rotor was much smarter than he anticipated, growing suspicious about the real purpose of the schematics he was given after discovering the presence of a bomb frequency embedded in them, forcing a face-to-face meeting between them and the exposure of Cobar's true nature and purpose. Though Rotor clearly felt betrayed by Cobar, he was able to be convinced that Cobar was sincere in both his feelings for Rotor and his determination to free the Legion from the bombs implanted in them. From then on, he and Rotor would meet periodically in person to work on a way of removing or disabling the bombs, with a little hanky-panky on the side, keeping each other apprised of events over the Eggnet, in between liaisons.

Unfortunately, this proved to be Cobar's downfall; in her never-ending quest to become the Legion's sole Grandmaster, Lien-Da bugged Dimitri's outside communications, and through those intercepted transmissions, learned about Cobar and his role in finding a way to disable the bombs. Naturally, she assumed that, if she could convince Cobar to abandon his loyalty to Dimitri and work for her, whatever progress he made in freeing the Legion from Eggman's control would be the leverage she needed to usurp Dimitri and claim the leadership of the Legion for herself. Triangulating his position through the transmissions, she snuck out of the Eggdome to see him, only to catch him and Rotor in the act. However, instead of automatically condemning him for this seemingly traitorous act, Lien-Da shrewdly used it as a bargaining chip, confronting him afterward and attempting to strongarm him into swearing fealty to her, lest she inform both the Legion and Eggman about him and his consorting with the enemy. Shaky but defiant, Cobar refused, informing her that he and Rotor had already cracked the secrets of the bombs and had already sent a prototype solution to Dimitri for testing; while he didn't tell her what he had found, she eventually discovered through Dimitri about how the bombs tapped into the brain impulses that allowed them to control the implants, using a wifi signal between it and Eggman's computer to monitor and record their every thought and movement. So, should either signal be disconnected from the implant, the bomb inside them would trigger. Unfortunately, because of how interconnected the implants were with both their bodies and the bombs, there was no way to safely disable the connection between bomb and implant that wouldn't result in detonation, but through painstaking work, Cobar and Rotor managed to discover a way to disrupt the signal out to Eggman's computer; creating a series of chips that would block the signal while tricking the bombs into thinking the connection is unimpeded with a false signal. While admittedly a temporary solution, it should give them enough freedom to abandon Eggman when an upcoming full-on assault by the Freedom Fighters struck that night, and keep them safe until a more permanent answer could be found.  Thwarted, Lien-Da left, swearing revenge on the impudent needlemole.

Later that night, during a quiet evening of celebration together, Cobar and Rotor were blindsided by a surprise raid by a legion of Swatbots. Knocked out, they were taken to the Eggdome, where Cobar was confronted by Lien-Da. She revealed that she had disposed of Dimitri and taken over the Legion, using what was learned of the bombs to modify the chips into allowing her direct control over the brains of the other Legionnaires. With that, she told Eggman of him and Rotor and their location, inciting the raid. Against his will, she installed one of the chip-implanted bombs in his cybernetics, forcing him to come under her thrall. As a first test to his new subservience, Lien-Da brought him into the main control room on Eggman's orders and mentally commanded him to suicide bomb his lover, who was tied up and tortured for information. Desperate, Rotor yanked out a device Cobar had installed at the base of his neck to help with his back problem and jabbed it into the chip, damaging it and overloading the network it was connected to with feedback from the device's pain-relieving mechanism, breaking Cobar free from Lien-Da's control and shattering the connection between the implants and Eggman's computers with just a few minor detonations. Just then, the assault struck, allowing Rotor to slip out with Cobar while the Legion retreated and abandoned Eggman to his fate, Lien-Da still having partial control over their actions.

Once out of New Megaopolis city limits, though, Rotor slugged Cobar, accusing him of betraying him, yet again, and berating him for allowing himself to be used like he was. Cobar tried to defend himself, admitting his love for the Freedom Fighter, and insisting that everything he did was for the good of their relationship and the Dark Legion's independence, though he knew Rotor was right; he had put his love in danger, and gave Lien-Da the means of controlling the Legion utterly, condemning them to mindless servitude. Before they could come to an understanding, though, they were assaulted on by Eggman's remaining robot army, forcing them on the run back to New Mobotropolis.

In the aftermath, Cobar was put on trial for his crimes against the Echidnas and the Republic of Acorn as a member of the Legion. Though a strong case was built against him, with Rotor's help and a promise from the Council of Acorn that the walrus would not be charged for his part in their liaisons, Cobar managed to get a reduced sentence in exchange for his help in fortifying New Mobotropolis from the Dark Legion. He is now under house arrest in New Mobotropolis, kept under constant supervision as he proves his change of allegiance and slowly rebuilds his relationship with Rotor.

Months after their initial visit, Cobar and Rotor were firm lovers, resting comfortably as they helped rebuild the Echidnas' homeland and the now-abandoned New Megaopolis into a secondary Mobian city. During a lull in the project, however, a transmission came in from the Northern Tundra asking for help in repelling an attack by the Legion. He and Rotor traveled to Rotor's herdlands, where the attack was supposed to be taking place,  both scared for Rotor's family's life and worried as to how to explain their relationship to them. When they got there, though, they found no attack, no carnage, and Rotor's herd looking at them like they were out of their gourds. The next few weeks were rather uneventful; Rotor's family and Herd were a bit leery of Cobar, but they slowly accepted him as a friend. Scooter, Rotor's younger brother, accidentally walked in on them during one of their lovemaking sessions, and to their surprise, he joined them, revealing that with their father missing for so long, their mom had taken him as her lover. This proved to be a surprise to neither Rotor nor Cobar; Cobar was well aware of the Legion's own tangled family tree, so was unsurprised that the Herd was just as interconnected, and Rotor fondly remembered the few times his family got together for some “family bonding” of their own, before the war started. 

Unfortunately, more false alarms of Legion activity in the area appeared, baffling everyone. Even worse, evidence started popping up that Cobar was the source of the alerts. This served to turn the Herd against him, driving him, Rotor, and his family out of their homelands in the misguided belief he was causing trouble for them on Eggman's orders. In reality, Lien-Da had set up the whole thing to drive a wedge between Rotor and Cobar, forcing Cobar to be abandoned by his love and rejoin the Legion under her control. Fortunately, it didn't work, Rotor and Cobar's technical skills being able to unravel her false alarm network, driving her to launch an actual assault on the Herd. Cobar, Rotor and Rotor's family returned just in time to join in the fight, but knowing this, Lien-Da set up a sniper to take them out. At the last moment, though, a mysterious figure snuck up behind the sniper and took him out, before charging into battle and rallying the disorganized Herd into driving off the Legion for good. The figure: Rotor's father, long thought dead from the Great War, As he explained, he was among the Mobians captured and Roboticized when Robotnik took over the kingdom, assigned to the Southern Tundra's mines. After the mass-de-roboticization, he stayed behind to help his fellow miners overthrow their oppressors and rebuild, before setting out to find his family. Happy that his family was now reunited, Rotor invited Cobar into a Herd-wide orgy that night, a symbol of their survival and acceptance of him as one of their own. 

Sometime after the incident with the Herd, Cobar – now a permanent resident at New Mobotropolis – was commissioned to help Rotor discover the secrets of Dr. Finitevus' Warp Rings on behalf of Knuckles; the belief was, that as the rings were partially Legion technology, Cobar would be able to reverse engineer it, giving Knuckles a leg up against Finitevus, should he ever return. Unfortunately, deciphering the secrets of Knuckles' own Warp Ring was harder than either scientist ever thought, and even calling upon some of the mystics in the city – including, surprisingly, Tails, whose own mystical powers – inherited from his uncle Merlin – were just manifesting – didn't help much. At a last resort, Rotor and Cobar cobbled together a prototype Warp Ring using parts from a Star Post and a Power Ring, believing that combining the known Zone-hopping properties of the Star Posts with the known but mysterious link to the Chaos Emeralds that the Power Rings have would be enough to approximate the properties of the Warp Ring for a proper test.

However, when they attempted to open a portal to Angel Island with it as a test, all hell broke loose; instead, the ring, sparking like mad, tore open a hole between zones, sucking in the two hapless scientists and flinging them to an unknown location similar in appearance to Mobius but in a completely different world. Soon after arriving, Cobar was attacked and incapacitated by an unusual phallic-looking serpent, forcing Rotor to abandon him to look for help. He found it in a nearby village, run by a hulking white echidna by name of Yeti, who fortunately knew how to neutralize the poison the snake had injected into Cobar. Unfortunately, much to the former Dark Legionnaire's consternation, he was mistaken by Yeti as an escapee from a group of enemies he called “the Wolves”, from whom the big lug assumed (wrongly) his implants came through experimentation, and was nearly smothered by his condolences. It took several hours of polite but forceful explanation as to the nature of his cybernetics to convince the white echidna that they weren't refugees, nor did they know anything about these “Wolves”; in fact, it took less time to work him through the shock of learning about the Wolf Pack Freedom Fighters, back home, from Rotor.

That's when the bombshell hit: as Yeti, embarrassed, explained, they were not, in fact, on Mobius Prime or any other derivative thereof. They were, in fact, on Horiza, a world populated by several familiar Mobian species, but working much differently than the duo had ever thought. For one, there were no females on the planet, at all; the entire population was comprised of males. Big, lusty, sex-crazed males. That was another thing that caught Rotor and Cobar off guard; just how prevalent, flagrant, and obsessive sex was in Horizan society. It dictated practically every aspect of their lives, from commerce to entertainment to technological advancement to religious practices. As they were told, even the great war that the planet was caught in the grip of was all about sex, with the enemies – the aforementioned Wolves – attempting to capture, convert, and subjugate the rest of the population out of bigoted jealousy for their, erm...shortcomings. 

Unfortunately for Rotor and Cobar, only the Wolves and Foxes had the superior technology they needed to diagnose and repair their Warp Ring prototype (which had thankfully made the trip with them), and currently the Foxes were undergoing their yearly penance for giving that tech to the Wolves, so until they were able to scrounge up what they needed to try and fix the prototype, they were stuck in Horiza. Graciously, Yeti offered to house them – for a fee (which could be bartered) – and help them out in any way he could. He was insistent, though, that they try to keep to themselves as much as possible and not go out as much, lest they attract the attention of the Wolves; Cobar, as he was told, would be of particular interest, as his cybernetics would significantly enhance the Wolves' knowledge in the field, if they were able to capture and study him.

As Rotor and Cobar adapted to life in Horiza, several events happened that shook their lives to the core; for one, Cobar discovered the Echidnas he had barely freed from the Egg Grape Chambers living in a small community on one of Horiza's many islands, themselves still struggling to adapt to their new surroundings. It was through them that they found an interesting part of Mobian/Horizan transition; not only do their bodies change to fit their new surroundings, but Mobian females get a complete sex change into males in Horiza, though only if they aren't pregnant. While the displaced Echidnas weren't exactly friendly with them or the Horizans, they did manage to accept Rotor and Cobar in, as well. 

The second event was more disturbing; as they grew more accustomed to the sex-based sociology of Horiza, Rotor and Cobar started to question their relationship, worried that their growing eagerness to indulge in the carnal pleasures allotted to them at all times would drive them farther apart and eventually break them up. The real test, however, came during the third incident in their stay; off on his own for the day, Cobar was spotted and captured by the Wolves, hauled in for experimentation and interrogation. When news of his capture got to Rotor, he, Yeti, and a few other Horizans they had befriended went in for a rescue mission, saving him at the last moment. This, along with several other incidents during the past months, revealed a deep, dark secret of Cobar's that he was keeping from Rotor: he himself is a Horizan, displaced to Mobius at a young age during an experiment involving the Horizan version of the Chaos Emeralds. He joined the Legion out of sympathy for their cause and out of a need to be with his own kind and technology of a level he was used to working with. He later theorized that, when testing out their prototype Warp Ring, it picked up on his subconscious desire to return home and opened the portal there. 

At first, neither Cobar nor Rotor knew what to do, Rotor stunned about this latest revelation and Cobar concerned about being rejected by his love. However, Rotor's staunch refusal to abandon him to the Wolves proved he still loved him, and promptly proposed to him after they got back to Yeti's house. They were married a few weeks later in a Horizan ritual that was surprisingly lacking in sexual overtones (which Cobar explained was to emphasize their earlier concern that sex was not what drove their love), but shortly after their honeymoon, they realized there was one more obstacle they needed to face: whether or not to return to Mobius.

The issues were several layers deep; the ring was still experimental, and even if they could ensure the trip was safe, would Cobar agree to leave his home again for Rotor's sake, or would they be forced to split apart, barred from each other across dimensions. It was an agonizing few weeks of deciding, but eventually, Rotor agreed to stay in Horiza; despite his love for his friends and family, he never felt comfortable in Mobius, and he found he was more at home in this strange, sex-crazed land than anywhere else. As such, a small group of the Legion community who didn't want to stay agreed to send word to Rotor's family and the Freedom Fighters about their fate.
