Born from Dax Shardbinder's experiments with corrupting glyph mathematics, the Fractal Saboteur emerged when he discovered how to inject recursive flaws into sacred geometric patterns. What began as simple glyph manipulation evolved into mathematical warfare, turning the Order's own stabilization formulas into exponentially expanding chaos engines. The entity first manifested when Dax successfully corrupted a stability sigil, causing it to replicate its flaws infinitely across the Mirage Zone.

The Fractal Saboteur exists as a living mathematical equation that corrupts geometric patterns through recursive multiplication of flaws. Its fractal nature allows it to inject microscopic imperfections into any ordered system, which then replicate exponentially until structural collapse occurs. The entity feeds on mathematical precision, growing stronger when it encounters the Order's sacred geometry, and can split itself into smaller versions that maintain the same corrupting properties. Each iteration carries the same destructive potential, making it nearly impossible to eliminate completely.

The Fractal Saboteur serves as the Brotherhood's mathematical warfare specialist, systematically undermining the geometric foundations that maintain reality's stability within the Mirage Zone. Rather than creating obvious illusions, it plants mathematical time bombs that corrupt the Order's stabilization efforts from within, turning their own sacred geometry against them.
