Spectre

Spectre is a member of the Brotherhood of Guardians, one of many ancestors of Knuckles the Echidna. The son of the lost Guardian Tobor, father of Thunderhawk, Spectre became the oldest living Guardian in Knuckles' tenure in the position after his great-grandfather Mathias, grandfather Hawking, and father died, the first and the third in battle with the Dark Legion and Hawking of old age. Known as the most violent and unpredictable of the Guardians, he is disapproved of by his descendants. Like all Guardians succeeding him-with the exceptions of the deceased Janelle-Li, outcast Athair, Locke, and Knuckles-Spectre was last seen defending the Master Emerald from Dr. Eggman's forces and then disappeared, having been captured and then sent to the Twilight Zone by Dr. Finitevus.

Early Life
Little is known of Spectre's early life before he appeared with the rest of the Brotherhood before Knuckles at Haven. He was still an infant when his father Tobor became Guardian of the Angel Island Echidnas, and presumably was still young when his father was replaced by Moritori Rex. His early years are a mystery that likely have some connection with his unusual-and fear inspiring-appearance.

Knuckles' Time
Spectre and the rest of the Brotherhood were introduced to Knuckles shortly after all the Echidnas returned to Angel Island with the city of Echidnaopolis. Of all the Brotherhood he appeared the most suspicious of Moritori Rex when the true Tobor briefly appeared with Knuckles before carrying Kragok with him into the Twilight Zone. He joined in the pursuit when Moritori was exposed, and later blinded the imposter's cybernetic eyes. Prior to this encounter, Spectre and Locke were the only Guardians to escape capture by the Dark Legion when Dimitri attempted to seize control of Echidnaopolis through political means. Later, Spectre was the major spokesman for the Brotherhood when Sally Acorn approached them for aid against Robotnik, which Spectre reluctantly denied based on the Kingdom of Acorn's refusal to use artillery. Then, during the Legion's Quantum Beam offensive, Spectre joined with the rest of the Brotherhood and Mathias in attacking the Grand Conservatory where the Legion had established their base. Caught in the effects of the Quantum Beam, Spectre and the others were sent to the Twilight Zone.

Thanks to the efforts of a now super-powered Knuckles, the Brotherhood and the rest of Angel Island's populace returned, the Brotherhood to find Haven a ruin. Spectre, his senses more highly attuned than those of the others, was quick to report that he sensed the deaths of Mathias, Hawking, and a third being-unbeknownst to Spectre, his father Tobor-as they passed into "the next evolution", or the afterlife. After Knuckles' death and subsequent rebirth, Spectre joined his son Thunderhawk as well as Sojourner and Sabre in defending the Master Emerald from an invasion launched by Dr. Eggman. Fighting bravely, the Guardians turned back Eggman's forces, but were left weakened and thus easy prey for Dr. Finitevus. After analyzing both the Guardians and Moritori Rex, he sent them all to the Twilight Zone.

Personality
Spectre has a deep-rooted hatred for the Dark Legion far more passionate than that of any of the other members of the Brotherhood, possibly stemming from his being raised by Moritori Rex. He is violent and highly aggressive, and seems to have a rather bizarre code of combat: he thinks it vulgar to strike enemies physically when he can dispatch them with the Chaos Force. Spectre seems to enjoy violent acts, and has little regard for the opinions of his fellow Guardians. Still he does have an honorable side, as shown by his cordial interactions with Princess Sally.

Powers
Like all Guardians, Spectre draws Chaos power through his link with the Master Emerald. However, Spectre possesses either a greater command of it than most of his compatriots or otherwise simply uses it more extensively than they do. His uses of it include teleportation, enhanced senses, telekinesis, and beams of pure energy than he uses in combat.
