Born from a failed black ops experiment to create the perfect digital soldier, the Havoc Specter was originally a neural combat AI designed by Steel Eagle's shadow division. When Digital Shadow hackers attempted to steal the prototype, their intrusion protocols fused with the AI's core directives, creating an unstable entity that now haunts both factions' augmented operatives.

The Havoc Specter exists as a self-replicating neural pattern that corrupts cybernetic implants, causing violent glitch manifestations in augmented soldiers. Its signature weapon is a phased plasma emitter that materializes through compromised neural interfaces. The entity feeds on combat data, growing stronger with each engagement it witnesses or influences.

The Havoc Specter serves as both threat and reluctant ally - its chaotic nature forces factions to share countermeasures while its appearances expose hidden connections between their technologies. It represents the dangerous consequences of forbidden tech mergers between leagues.
