SCP-xxxx

"Adrien Sans-Tête"


Item #: SCP-xxxx

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be kept in a standard locked cell on Site 17 and provided with basic amenities. The entity is allowed supervised outings twice per month in exchange for good behavior. Once every eighteen days, SCP-xxxx is to be provided with one severed human head, a surplus of which is to be kept in on-site cryogenic storage.

Description: SCP-xxxx is a Caucasian male body standing at approximately 1.2 meters. In its natural state, SCP-xxxx appears to have been recently decapitated. In spite of this, SCP-xxxx remains animate and will attack the nearest human subject in a radius of approximately 30 meters. If it is unable to reach a human subject, SCP-xxxx will enter a state of inactivity and remain dormant until a suitable subject enters its reach.

If injured, the entity possesses the ability to regenerate damaged body parts, however this process is not instantaneous and has been recorded as taking as little as six hours for several bullet wounds inflicted during Incident xxxx-02 to as long as 277 hours for an instance of quadruple amputation during an on-site breach (see Incident-███-██-█)

Once it has found its victim, SCP-xxxx will attempt any means necessary to decapitate them, including any available tools, its finger and toenails, and in one instance, [REDACTED]. If a head that is already severed is within reach, SCP-xxxx will consistently attempt to obtain it instead of attacking nearby bystanders. When it has acquired a head via either method, the entity will place it on top of its neck, at which point the appendage will fuse to SCP-xxxx. Study has shown that this fusing occurs on a cellular level. This fusion can be undone apparently at will, though SCP-xxxx will usually only remove its current head to replace it with a new one. If SCP-xxxx is not supplied with a replacement head, then after a period of approximately three weeks, SCP-xxxx’s current head will undergo rapid decomposition and fall off at which point the entity will reenter its hostile state.

Once SCP-xxxx has a head attached, it will act and behave as a normal adult male. No matter the origin of its acquired head, SCP-xxxx will always speak in a thick French accent. It identifies itself as Adrien ██████ from the ████████ region of Northern France and is capable of communicating in French, English, and German. SCP-xxxx claims to have been a French aristocrat during the late 1700’s, though it maintains that it does not recall most information from that time, nor how it came to acquire its anomalous nature (tests to determine its exact age have been inconclusive due to its regenerative capabilities). Furthermore, while SCP-xxxx does claim to be aware that it enters a hostile state while without a head, it insists that it does not recall any specific actions or events that occur during these periods of time. SCP-xxxx is generally affable and calm; although it does express discomfort when asked about things relating to its anomaly (see Interview Log February ██, 20██).

SCP-xxxx was recovered and taken into custody outside of █████, Luxembourg following a string of unsolved murders.

Interview Log: (February ██, 20██)
Dr. ██████: (speaking in French) Can you please state your name?
SCP-xxxx: (In English) My name is Adrien ██████. I speak English, my friend.
Dr. ██████: Very well. Do you remember being captured by the organization?
SCP-xxxx: Not especially. The last thing I remember was… SCP-xxxx seems visibly distraught well… losing my last head. When I woke up, I was being… how do you say? Apprehended?
Dr. ██████: You don’t remember anything after your previous decapitation?
SCP-xxxx: I don’t remember anything from when I don’t… SCP-xxxx sighs and points to its current head. Sometimes it feels as though I fall asleep and when I awake, five… ten years have passed.
Dr. ██████: What is your earliest memory, then?
SCP-xxxx: It is… hard to say. My memory struggles to reach that far. I suppose I recall the crowning of Napoleon.
Dr. ██████: You were alive during the Napoleonic reign?
SCP-xxxx: Oh, I have been alive longer than that. I just cannot remember much of it clearly. I remember being wealthy and the revolution and [INAUDIBLE].
Dr. ██████: Can you please repeat that?
SCP-xxxx looks down, appearing to ignore Dr. ██████.
Dr. ██████: Would you please repeat the last part of that statement?
SCP-xxxx: Must we go on about this? I’m sure there are far more interesting things we might be doing at the moment
Dr. ██████: Can you tell me how you became what you are?
SCP-xxxx: I do not wish to discuss this any further.

Addendum: On September ██, 20██ approval was gained to cross-test SCP-xxxx with SCP-374. The following are the results.

Experiment Log, September ██, 20██

SCP-374 was used to decapitate Subject D-4839, at which point SCP-374-1 manifested and
was given to SCP-xxxx in its hostile state. SCP-xxxx immediately attached the instance of
SCP-374-1 to itself at which point it began to speak to itself, appearing to alternate between
devolved into barely intelligible yelling in French. SCP-xxxx began to violently flail around the
cell, hurling itself into walls and furniture. After two minutes, SCP-xxxx tore SCP-374-1 off of
itself and threw it against a wall. Whether or not SCP-374-1 remained animate is unknown as
SCP-xxxx proceeded to [REDACTED] for the next 22 minutes, after which it sat down and was
unresponsive to stimuli.
SCP-xxxx remained unresponsive until a new head was supplied to it approximately one hour
later. Both SCP-xxxx and any instances of SCP-374-1 have refused to discuss the incident.
<END LOG>

Addendum: Following the results of the experiment on 09/██/20██, it has been decided that SCP-xxxx is not to be cross-tested with any other "similar" SCP's including but not limited to SCP-374, SCP-565, and SCP-2805.
