*Item #:* SCP-XXXX

*Object Class:* Euclid

*Special Containment Procedures:* SCP-XXXX is to be kept in a 10x10x10 titanium cell, with one blast door no less than four (4) inches in thickness, in a secure site located sixty (60) kilometers North of the village of [REDACTED] in Eastern Europe. A camera, capable of 360-degree monitoring, is to be placed in the center of the ceiling, and should under no circumstances be disabled. In the event of SCP-XXXX attempting to break containment, the room is to be deprived of oxygen until such behavior ceases. SCP-XXXX may be removed from their cell with authorization from one Level Three or higher personnel. When out of its cell, SCP-XXXX must be escorted by no less than five (5) heavily armored guards, wearing blacked-out facemasks, carrying standard assault rifles and a standard sidearm. During transport, SCP-XXXX must be kept within a mobile cell, three (3) feet wide, three (3) feet long, and eight (8) feet high, made of four (4) inch thick titanium. The cell must have an externally opening door, locked by passkey. Under no circumstances should SCP-XXXX ever be brought into contact with any sentient beings. SCP-XXXX is to be kept away from all other humanoid SCP objects, except for testing with approval from no less than two (2) O5 personnel. All tests involving other humanoid SCP objects are to be supervised by four (4) Level Three personnel.

*Description:* SCP-XXXX is a humanoid caucasian male, with a height of 1.2m (six (6) feet, two (2) inches tall, and a weight of one-hundred and thirty-seven (137) pounds. It is clad in chain armor, similar to that of ancient European warriors. Beneath the armor, SCP-XXXX appears to be a perfectly healthy Caucasian male of European descent, in their late twenties. SCP-XXXX was discovered at a LARPing festival in [REDACTED] on █/█/2008 when it was shot and killed by police for killing several of the LARPers and officers that had tried to restrain it. The Foundation became aware of their anomalous properties when news coverage reported that SCP-XXXX had completely disappeared after being hit by a hail of bullets, and then reappeared unharmed seconds later. SCP-XXXX was then captured by an MTF unit, and taken to their current housing. All civilians were given Class-A amnestics following the capture of SCP-XXXX.

The anomalous properties of SCP-XXXX surface when SCP-XXXX is killed in some manner. Upon death, SCP-XXXX dissipates into a thin cloud of ash, traces of which have never been recovered post-death. Once killed, after a period of approximately ten (10) seconds, SCP-XXXX rematerializes, healed of any and all wounds, as if they had never been hurt, to begin with. In addition to this ability, SCP-XXXX shows extreme durability, able to survive wounds that would kill most normal humans, though not without difficulty [See Test Logs] and is not dependant on any form of sustenance. They are, however, capable of being severely weakened using certain environments or conditions [See Test Logs].

SCP-XXXX displays a strong desire to leave the facility and has been shown to go to great lengths to do so. They have expressed this desire several times very adamantly. [See Addendum A-1, A-2, and A-3.] SCP-XXXX appears to have no knowledge beyond that of an average 12th-century European male. [See Addendum A-4]

*TEST LOG A*
_*Test A-1 | █/█/█*_

*Subject:* SCP-XXXX
*Procedure:* SCP-XXXX was placed into a room with one (1) D-Class, designated D-3318. SCP-XXXX made idle chat with D-3318 for several minutes. D-3318 was told to attack XXXX.
*Results:* D-3318 was terminated by XXXX, through [REDACTED].
Notes: I'm not quite sure what exactly I saw, But I would like permission to experiment further with this ability. -Dr. ████

Request denied Dr. ████, risk of unknown consequences is too great. Keep SCP-XXXX away from all sentient lifeforms until otherwise stated. -O5 Command

_*Test A-2 | █/█/█*_

*Subject:* SCP-XXXX
*Procedure:* SCP-XXXX was placed in a titanium, air-tight chamber. The chamber was flooded with water until there were no dry spaces remaining.
*Results:* SCP-XXXX did not react for several seconds when flooding began, however became visibly nervous when the water reached knee-height. Once water reached their chest, they suddenly burst into ash, dissolved into the water and, exactly ten seconds later, reappeared just outside the testing chamber. XXXX then attempted to [REDACTED]
Notes: So they won't rematerialize inside of an area of danger. Interesting. Will require further testing to discover what is considered a "dangerous area" and how this is determined. -Dr. ████

_*Test A-3 | █/█/█*_

*Subject:* SCP-XXXX
*Procedure:* SCP-XXXX was left in their containment cell. Dr. ████ ordered for his cell to be deprived of oxygen.
*Results:* XXXX began to visibly panic and expressed a desire for oxygen to be returned to its cell. After fifteen seconds, XXXX took a large inhale of breath and maintained focus on the camera in its cell. XXXX was able to hold its breath for seven (7) minutes and thirty-eight (38) seconds before needing to breathe out but was unable to take in oxygen afterward. After one (1) minute and eight (8) seconds, XXXX collapsed to the ground. After laying, unconscious, for one (1) minute, XXXX disappeared in a cloud of ash. Ten (10) seconds later, XXXX reappeared in their cell, and the process of collapsing, dying, and resurrection continued for two (2) hours before Dr. ████ ended the test and returned oxygen to the cell.
Notes: I hadn't expected that. So it is possible to keep them incapacitated entirely by depriving their environment of oxygen. Request to add related measures be included in containment procedures. -Dr. ████

Granted, Dr. ████ -O5 Command

_*Test A-4 | █/█/█*_

*Subject:* SCP-XXXX
*Procedure:* XXXX was placed in a containment chamber with six D-Class armed with standard issue combat knives and were told to attack XXXX on sight.
*Results:* Two D-Class would not comply and attempted suicide. XXXX prevented this, however, and began to [REDACTED]. Once all D-Class were dead, XXXX sat down and appeared to go into a meditative trance for five (5) minutes before standing. The subject was visibly taller, and muscles were slightly more defined after this process. XXXX attempted to run away as soon as the doors were opened and were noted to be much faster than previously recorded. They were contained when reinforcements arrived with assault shotguns.
Notes: Dr. ████ appears to have come into contact with SCP-███, resulting in his direct disobedience of O5 Command. He will be dealt with and replaced. Research of this SCP will be handed over to Dr. Jones. Tests involving sentient life may now be approved by two (2) or more O5 personnel. -O5 Command.

For details referring to Dr. ████ please see Addendum B-1. It is imperative you all take note of how this ended. We wouldn't want any of you to meet the same fate. -O5 Command

ADDENDUM A-1 | █/█/█

Interviewed: SCP-XXXX

Interviewer: ████

Foreword: Goal of interview is to establish current knowledge of XXXX and any anomolous properties not yet observed that they are aware of.

<Begin Log, ██:35PM>

████: Hello.

XXXX: Where am I?
████: You are currently in an interrogation chamber at Site-██, in our custody. What is your name?
XXXX: My name is…I…I don't remember my name.
████: Do you know what a cell phone is?
XXXX: Cell phone? I…I don't…
████: A cell phone is this device.
A standard issue disposable mobile phone is placed on the table in front of XXXX
XXXX: That…That looks like the device that was used to blind me.
████: Blind you?
XXXX: In the courtyard where you captured me. A boy aimed it at me and there was a bright flash.
████: That was most likely a camera flash.
XXXX: Camera flash? I thought you said this was a cell phone.
████: Let's move on. Do you know who the current president is?
XXXX: President? What, exactly, is a president?
████: The leader of a democracy. Similar to a king, or a sultan, but the President must listen to their people.
XXXX: That's not at all what you should be asking me. We have a king. A wonderful, strong king.
████: Tell me about yourself. How do you come back to life every time you die? Do you know?
XXXX: I…No. It's happened ever since I was twelve. I was delivering a blade, and as I ran, I fell. The blade pierced me, killed me…But I did not die.
████: What sort of things can't kill you?
XXXX: I have found no man, beast, devil, or blade that can keep me from coming back.
████: But you're not invincible. You do die? Or do you survive, and we're misinterpreting your abilities?
XXXX: I die. Every time, it is death. I feel the full experience. I feel the pain, in excruciating amounts, I feel the icy grip of the Grim Reaper on my shoulder. I die. Everything I am dies. And when I return, I feel…New.
████: Alright. Moving on, what are your goals? Many people have a dream or a quest of some sort. What is yours?
XXXX: My king sent me to aid a small town on the outskirts of our borders. I was on my way and had to cross a river. I was swept away by the current and knocked unconscious somewhere along the way. When I came to, I was in a waterway in a strange land. The first people I encountered attempted to attack me, though it appears weapons that I am familiar with in this place are quite weak, as I was not even pierced by the blades they used.
████: Noted. Now, you said you were sent by a king, to aid a small town? What is the name of your kingdom?
XXXX: My home kingdom was known as Galinore. A strong, wealthy people. We make our money with crafting and secure it with our warriors.
████: I see. Are all warriors like you? Do they all revive after death?
XXXX: No. I think I am the only one. Might I ask something?
████: Of course.
XXXX: When may I leave?
████: You may never leave. You are too dangerous to our society to be set free, and, according to our records, there is no such place as Galinore. Now, your ability to-
XXXX: You're keeping me here forever? You can't do that! I won't allow it!
████: I'm afraid it's not a matter of what you will and will not allow. Now, your method of feeding. Explain it.
XXXX: No! Not until I know I will be set free! You will release me!
XXXX becomes visibly angry, slamming their hand against the table and breaking a sizeable chunk of it off.
████: If I arrage a deal to grant your freedom, will you cooperate with our tests and answer all of our questions?
XXXX:* I…Yes. If it will grant my freedom, then yes.
████:** Very well. I have a few final questions for now. First, and again, your method of feeding. How does it work?
XXXX: I do not know how it happens. But when something is [REDACTED] I steal the life force of it. I become stronger for it. The more I gain, the stronger I am. Faster. Smarter.
████: Are you able to choose not to steal this life force?
XXXX: I cannot. I do not choose to, or try to. It simply happens.
████: Last question. If presented with the choice between The Foundation and the creatures we contain, who would you ally with?
Subject spends several moments staring at the ground before answering.
XXXX: I would relish the chance to tear your kingdom to the ground. I know not how many innocent lives you have ruined with your "containment" but I know it is too many.
████: Thank you for your time. That will be all for now.

<End Log, ██:08PM>

Closing Statement: Subject appears to be calm, but aggressive and irritable. Could pose a major threat to the Foundation should they ever breach containment. Recommend upgrading to Keter status. I would prefer it if you found yourselves someone else to speak with him next time. He looked like he wanted to eat me, at the end. -████

Recommendation to upgrade SCP-XXXX to Keter status denied, ████. We can contain them well enough, and recapture is relatively simple. Upgrade to Keter may be reconsidered if object presents more dangerous properties. We have taken your desire to note and will try to find a replacement. -O5 Command
