Vector the Crocodile

ベクター・ザ・クロコダイル

Vector the Crocodile is a large, powerful crocodile. He serves as the "head honcho" and the intellectual force behind the Chaotix Detective Agency. Torn between being "bossy" and "easy-going," his coarse speech and rugged exterior conceal his sharp reasoning and knack for solving cases. He will accept most jobs for the right price, provided they do not involve immoral acts. Despite his argumentative nature, Vector possesses a strong sense of justice and kindness. His charitable disposition often leads him to perform unpaid work, which keeps the agency perpetually short on funds. Although he dislikes working for the landlord, he enjoys singing, and his signature accessory is a pair of headphones. He is physically very strong, and his powerful jaws serve as a formidable weapon.
Vector was originally intended to appear in the sound test of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game, making him one of the oldest Sonic characters, alongside Sonic and Robotnik.
