Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a Standard Humanoid Containment Cell. Security personnel to be in contact with SCP-XXXX must undergo psychiatric evaluation; those with a history of childhood trauma should not be assigned to SCP-XXXX. All personnel to be in contact with SCP-XXXX must be briefed on its anomalous properties.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a middle-aged male human of uncertain genetic lineage. Any person who views SCP-XXXX recognizes it as a distant relative. Context of the relationship varies, although the identification is usually associated with the name "Uncle Lenny." The recognition stems from memories of SCP-XXXX attending family events in the viewer's childhood.

Testing has indicated that these memories are not false; SCP-XXXX has appeared in photographs and videos of exposed subject's childhood birthday parties, family reunions, christenings, and other events. Interviews with family members of exposed subjects have revealed common knowledge of SCP-XXXX among the subject's relations.

Relationships with SCP-XXXX vary. In most cases, exposed subjects remember SCP-XXXX as a benign relative with a loose connection to the subject's immediate family. SCP-XXXX is often remembered performing magic tricks; testing confirms that, when supplied with a requested deck of cards and handkerchief, it is able to perform several (non-anomalous) tricks.

In rare cases (N<2%), SCP-XXXX is associated with memories of childhood abuse. In 14 out of the 17 instances the exposed subject already had a history of trauma prior to exposure; the remaining subjects had no previous history.
