King Acorn's Secret Service

King Acorn's Secret Service is an organization from the Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog storyline. They serve as professional counterparts to the Freedom Fighters, and the two are often at odds due to the competition between them.

Geoffrey St. John
In the Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie comic) continuity, Geoffery St. John is a skunk claiming to be a former member of the royal guard of King Acorn, first appearing in Sonic #20. (which leads into the Princess Sally mini-series, where he played a major role.)

As a child, St. John gained his sense of duty from his father, Ian St. John, who was killed by the overlanders, leading to Geoffrey's strong dislike of humans. St. John is very loyal to the kingdom of King Acorn and Princess Sally as well, whom he and Sonic often fought for affection from. However, many in the Knothole Village Freedom Fighters consider him arrogant and rude.

After reappearing shortly before Robotnik's death, St. John aided in the return of King Acorn and eventually re-established the King's Secret Service. It was with this team that he recovered Queen Alicia and Prince Elias, Sally's mother and brother respectively. His rivalry with Sonic has cooled and flared repeatedly, but the feud over Princess Sally ended when St. John married Hershey Cat. The feud over Sally is not the only thing that Sonic and Geoffrey disagree about, however, so don't expect the two to make peace! Geoffery St. John and his team took a leave of absence after being infected with microscopic probes by the new Dr. Eggman.
