==History==
As a child, Brazen was a troublemaker. At a young age, he was tired of his parents yelling at him for his actions and decided to abandon home and grow up on the streets. He had dreams of becoming the most powerful hedgehog in existence, since he knew there was more out there than just the world. He was arrested on various occasions for his actions in public and was kicked out of the city at age seventeen.
A few of Brazen's close friends, though never got arrested as many times as he did, ditched life in the city to join him. His friends formed a group called Blade, and he became the leader of the group, training his friends to act like soldiers. Over the course of a few weeks, they gathered more people to join Blade and eventually managed to take down the city to get more. The city became their temporary base and slowly took over more cities.
One day, Brazen was walking down the streets of a different city when he came across a group fight between Matthew and a few gang members. Taking down both members, he also managed to take Brazen down as collateral damage. Shocked by the strength Matthew has at a young age, Brazen personally asked him to not only join Blade, but to become one of his first officers. Not know what he was going to get into later on, Matthew agreed.
A few days later, Brazen overheard a conversation between Wolfram, at the time going by his birth name of Jonathan, and his wife Alaina, who was a few weeks away from having their child, Jayden. The conversation was about a flashback of how Wolfram at a young age saved Alaina from a few perverted bullies. Recalling what Matthew did to him, Brazen walked up and asked Wolfram to join Blade. This was a little difficult since Matthew was in a state of fighting when he was asked, and Wolfram was having a coversation about how he and his wife met. Brazen was able to convince Wolfram to join, not knowing what was going to happen years later.
=== Timeline 1 ===
A few years later, Brazen got Blade up to a few thousand members. He led the most daring attack on Dr. Eggman's base, since Eggman was becoming weary of the growth of Blade. Unfortunately, Eggman's retaliation from his cruiser ended up in the almost total-annihilation of Blade, including the "clean up" by Sonic and his friends who were originally going to take Eggman head on themselves. Brazen, now by himself, got put on every KoS list for the death of every Blade member he persuaded to join.
Now a fugitive of life, he turns to his street knowledge of technology to try to build a matter fabricator. He hoped to create artificial soldiers to rebuild Blade and defend himself. He "acquired" a few books on binary code and basic computer science. Under intense pressure of getting exposed and killed by anything at this point, he began to experiment with binary code when suddenly he created a 2-bit. Not knowing how he created it or how unstable it is, the 2-bit reached his fabricator and created a creature called Entity. Immediately, Entity blew up Brazen's lab, claiming the life of Brazen himself, and traveled back in time to mess up the future.
=== Timeline 2 (Current) ===
A few years later, Brazen got Blade up to a few thousand members. He prepared to lead the most daring attack on Dr. Eggman's base, since Eggman was becoming very weary of the growth of Blade. Suddenly, a lightning storm struck Eggman's cruiser and knocked out its power system. Unable to hold altitude, the cruiser fell and crashed, destroying everything aboard and killing Eggman. Brazen saw the opportunity to salvage the cruiser and take over Eggman's base, making it Blade's permanent base. However, the quick action of Sonic and his friends made the window of opportunity close as they salvaged the cruiser, stormed Eggman's base, and prevented every attack that Brazen opposed on it. This would eventually give Wolfram his name and its meaning behind it.
Now desperate to make a permanent Blade base, he established a space station and called it the Knife because of the station's design and structure. He sent Wolfram, now a commander, to lead a stealth team to gather intelligence on Project Shard. Returning with a copy of Shard's DNA, Brazen had the help of medical experts among Blade to alter the genetic code and create Project Fragmentation, with the end result being Frag. The time of Project Fragmentation's development was fifty-percent faster than Project Shard's development.
Now having Frag as his top representative of Blade, he proposed an all out attack on Lab 16 to finally take out Sonic and his friends, and fulfill his dream of becoming the most powerful hedgehog in existence, not knowing Entity became that the moment he was created in a previous, forgotten timeline. Frag was assigned for reconnaissance on the ground. The day of Blade's proposed attack on Lab 16, a lightning storm struck the Knife, taking out the hangar bay and giving Wolfram his new powers and eye color. Soon after, the storm struck Lab 16, affecting its power grid and reactor. Moments later, Lab 16 was destroyed, and Sonic and Shadow nearly sacrificed their lives to unsuccessfully save the facility, and successfully send Shard to the Chaos Dimension.
Landing on the ground, he met up with Frag, who was amnesia-struck by a piece of debris from Lab 16's collapse. Frag was unable to recall the memory of getting Sonic and Shadow out of the rubble before they died. Brazen questioned him on his reconnaissance data, but was not pleased by what Frag told him. Frag disappeared after Brazen told him he's going back to the station when Blade troops came to escort him back. Brazen then sent a team of troops to look for him. Brazen was unaware that Wolfram disappeared from the station and began living by himself, worried that Blade troops might find him. A month later, Brazen would recall his troops back to the Knife when Earth was being evacuated due to the decay of the dimension, unknowingly caused by Entity. He flew his station through a portal that brought him, Blade, and the Knife to the Chaos Dimension.
