These statements accurately describe Geoffrey St. John.

The only son of Commander Ian St. John, Geoffrey is one of the few remaining members of His Majesty's Secret Service, a black-ops group that remains loyal to the King-in-Exile, Maximillian Acorn.  Upon stumbling across Sonic the Hedgehog and the Knothole Freedom Fighters, he was relieved to know he and his group were not the only ones still fighting a guerilla war against the Robotnik regime from the wilderness of the Great Forest.  However, he immediately clashed with the wild, carefree and headstrong approach offered by Sonic the Hedgehog.  Complicating matters were their mutual admiration of Princess Sally, setting off their rivalry.  Geoffrey and Sonic have fought several times, and have come to intensely loathe (hate) the other, due to their differing approaches in battle, their rivalry for the heart of Princess Sally Acorn, and both being too stubborn to back down from a fight.

He often despises taking orders from "mere children" (Sonic and friends have been waging war against Robotnik for about a decade, and their ages are from 16 to 24), even though he often relies on them for many of his missions.  He considers Sonic and his friends to be deeply un-disciplined, as opposed to his rigid and disciplined military life.

This skunk soldier has a very strong code of honour, and wishes nothing more than to serve his King to the greatest of his abilities.  He also wishes to make his dead father proud, and avenge his death during the great war.  His loyalty is without question, and knows no bounds, in that he will even perform legally- and morally-questionable deeds to further his agenda of restoring the King to power, another source of contention with the by-the-book Freedom Fighters, and even some of his Secret Service brothers-in-arms.  Clearly an ends-justify-the-means type of soldier, he is also a force to be reckoned with, thanks to his extensive knowledge of reconnisance (spying) and crossbow skills that are matched only by the legendary Robin Hood and William Tell.  In battle, he has been known to take down enemies twice his size, such as humans, or even Warlord Kodos (a lion)!

He was formerly married to fellow Secret Service soldier Hershey Cat, though they were seperated in the heat of battle during their last mission, and she was presumably captured.  Repeated adventures deep into Robotnik's territory during search-and-rescue missions have proved fruitless, and she remains missing-in-action.  This had crushed Geoffrey, but he vowed to never stop looking for his wife, or avenge her if she was killed.

Recently, Geoffrey had come into information that Prince Elias had survived and escaped from a secret slave labour camp of Robotnik's on Downunda.  Upon hearing this news, he had lept right into action, trekking across the planet, travelling across the ocean, and hiking to the interior of the desert continent, to where Elias was being held captive.  With just his wits and crossbow, he staged a daring daytime lone-man rescue of the prince, and both escaped with their lives.  Upon return to their hideout, Geoffrey was warded, by being knighted by Princess Sally.

Despite his protests to the contrary, Geoffrey's behaviour around Elias (and Elias' around Geoffrey) was obvious.  After losing Hershey in a mission to <the last place she was seen alive>, Geoffrey and Elias had eventually grown closer and began dating each other.  One this was found out by Sonic, the skunk was livid, as the teasing and fighting were nearly constant, but came to an abrupt end Elias and Sally had told their respective boyfriends to set aside their past differences and focus on the war at hand.  After seeing Elias shot and nearly killed in a freak surprise attack during a scouting mission, Geoffrey had fought harder than anyone else had seen, surprising even Sonic, by taking down several mechs in quick succession, without assistance.  Upon carrying his wounded mate on his shoulders for miles through the forest, Elias was able to survive, thanks to Rotor's prompt and intelligent first-aid treatment, though this would mark the end of the Prince's combat service, relegating him to the sidelines.  This act of selfless valour had earned Geoffrey respect in Sonic's eyes, and the two consider the hatchet between them (for the most part) buried.

Geoffrey is an admitted "speciesist" (racist) towards humans, stemming from his father dying at their hands during the Great War, when he was just a child.  This has caused more than one international incident when travelling to Station Square with Princess Sally and Prince Elias, with unbecoming remarks being spoken, and challenging others to fight him.

Like most skunks, Geoffrey is built somewhat stocky, but is quite muscular, even for his size.  He looks very much like his father, with a marginally-shorter muzzle, hair combed less into a mohawk (more of a ridge), and a slightly bushier tail.  His eyes are blue (contrasted with his father's green).  He is often seen wearing his trademark purple boots, utility belt, and gloves, with a crossbow slung across his shoulder.  During reconnisance missions, however, he can be seen in full military camouflage, complete with nightvision goggles and a two-way radio backpack to call in reinforcements.
