Portrait of Cantor Parabola by Greg Nesbitt.

Cantor Parabola (? - ?) is a math photographer and historian of crimes against mathematical constants.

Parabola has allegedly constructed an artificially intelligent camera with several advanced features:

  • Detects energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum.
  • Detects nearby alternate quantum timelines, resulting in pictures of what might happen in the future. See Scrying engine.
  • Allows the user to teleport to any place where the camera has been in the past, and some places where the camera might be in the future.
