| “ | You're not sending me after some two-bit noir cut-out or a hoighty-toighty meta-vore. This is the Man of La Mancha. His fourth wall breaks have got fourth wall breaks. He's got fan-fiction about himself in his own story, which itself is fan-fiction of a story that doesn't even exist. He basically wrote the book on metafiction. Like, literally — it's his book. | „ |

Summary
SCP-4028 is a sapient metafictional construct taking the form of Don Quixote of La Mancha. It appeared after the Foundation discovered a lost manuscript including Don Quixote critizing the story of a work of fiction he doesn't belong in. After investigation from SCP-423, he became aware of the Foundation and became bent on defeating them.
In reality, this incarnation of Don Quixote is actually Don's squire, Sancho Panza. SCP-4028 had entered the Foundation's database in an attempt to "save" his old master from the Foundation and to, hopefully, bring him back to his old days of adventures.

Classification: Keter Class Anomalous Entity, Metafictional Character
Powers and Abilities:
- Passive Plot Manipulation (Automatically changes the story of any fiction he's inserted in to fit "knightly values", allowing him to defeat any evil and eventually lead the story to fit said values[1]. Automatically erased all the changes he did to multiple narratives)

- Self-Sustenance (Type 1 - Is fine in the vacuum of space[4])
Attack Potency: Low Hypoverse level (Exists as a fictional character. Implied by SCP-423 to be even more dangerous than SCP-3143 and SCP-2747[1], although it is highly unlikely to apply to direct attack potency, as SCP-4028 lacks any feats approaching 2747's) | Low Hypoverse level (Exists as a fictional character. The gap between a lower narrative and the Foundation's narrative should be as high as the gap between the Foundation's narrative and the Alpha Layer), | Street level (Can damage several parts of wind turbines[5]) | Country level (Comparable to SCP-1233[4])

Intelligence: Below Average (Noted to be a fool many times and is highly delusional, although his plot manipulation allows him to outskill opponents he shouldn't be able to[3])
Standard Tactics: SCP-4028 will strike down any evil he sees immediately, using his plot manipulation to achieve this. However, he will engage other beings in a proper duel.
Weaknesses: Relatively low intelligence; loyal and determined to a fault.
