Gender: Male Age: Unknown Height: 190cm Wears a black hooded robe and resembles a plague doctor. Features a white crow-like mask. Usually very compliant and well-behaved, but only when contained or restrained. SCP-049 believes the world is covered in a terrible 'Pestilence,' and his behavior turns terrifyingly aggressive if he determines someone is infected. SCP-049 attempts to 'cure' the infected subject, and anyone touched by him dies instantly. He then produces a bag, dissects the corpse, injects various unknown chemicals, and sews them back together. The surgery lasts for several days and can be a success or a failure. If successful, the corpse reanimates, but loses all brain function, becoming a zombie-like creature that wanders aimlessly and shows high aggression toward external stimuli. However, these creatures do not show aggression toward SCP-049, their creator, and follow his commands. The Foundation designates these creatures as SCP-049-2. Additionally, SCP-049 records the process in a journal taken from his bag every time he performs surgery. When a doctor observing the surgery asked for a more detailed explanation, 049 lent him the journal, saying, 'It is too complex to explain, see for yourself.' However, the language written within was an indecipherable, unknown tongue. The baffling part is that SCP-049 cannot explain the 'Pestilence' at all. He cannot describe how to prevent it, what exactly his treatment cures, or even a single symptom of the disease. Yet, SCP-049 insists there is only one disease in the world—the Pestilence—and that many have succumbed to it, judging infection based on his own inscrutable criteria. The Foundation has made no progress in researching the Pestilence SCP-049 claims exists. SCP-049 initially spoke French but is also fluent in English. It is unknown how many languages he speaks, but he has stated that he is very well-traveled. Because the surgeries 049 performs are grotesque—severing limbs and reattaching them elsewhere before reanimation—doctors have questioned his methods. Upon hearing this, SCP-049 became extremely angry, calling SCP-049-2 his 'masterpiece' and expressing great pride in his cure.
