Not to be confused by Schwartz and Egger, named after the former Governor of California.

The Governor is the owner and most superior figure of the Metropolis City High Security Prison in the Metropolis Zone. Throughout his career, the now-elderly dog has locked away many of Mobius' most nefarious criminals, but his biggest prize was the scalp of Grimer, the chief scientist of Doctor Robotnik. Unfortunately, the Governor sometimes appeared weak and soon lost control of his own prison when Grimer broke free from his cell and converted the security room into his own office.
With Grimer affecting things on the outside, particularly hacking into the Kintobor Computer, it was the Governor's job to ensure nobody else knew Grimer was no longer a prisoner. Against his will, his first task was to ease the mind of Sonic the Hedgehog after he received a telephone call from the hero. The Governor lived a nervous few weeks after this, terrified that Sonic would find out and what Grimer would do to him if he did. When Grimer took to the Floating Island with Nack the Weasel, the Governor was likely very relieved.
It is unknown whether or not he is still the Governor of the prison, since he didn't appear in Sonic the Comic Online story Jail Break.
