Item#: SCP-XXXX
Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedure: SCP-XXXX is to be kept under constant surveillance in a secure cell 8m x 25m x 25m with a solid security door made of materials of at least A-2 hardness oak. A copy of SCP-XXXX-W-A-1 is to be held outside in a glass case beside the door at all times. At least one armed security officer is to stand outside of the door at all times. Security officers are advised to speak carefully around SCP-XXXX after the incidents involving security officer ███████ and security officer █████████. SCP-XXXX room is to be cleaned bi-monthly, class 2 hazmat suits are to be worn and A level hazardous disposal procedure is to be used. Incineration is advised for solid waste and suits after cleaning is completed. Incineration is prohibited following [REDACTED] reference Addendum XXXX.2. Crew is advised to avoid touching any articles that SCP-XXXX has acquired through "duels", reference addendum XXXX.4, as well as SCP-XXXX's copy of the Virginia Woolf novel to the lighthouse in order to avoid agitating SCP-XXXX unnecessarily. Cleaning crew is under no circumstance to introduce any foreign articles intentionally or unintentionally into SCP-XXXX's cell following the [REDACTED] fiasco. Each month one subject is to be armed and sent into SCP-XXXX's cell and every sixth month in addition to regular armaments, reference addendum XXXX.1 for armament specification, subjects are to be given a horse male horse, reference incident report XXXX.8, until such time as a way can be found to contain SCP-XXXX hysterical state permanently. Following these "tests" SCP-XXXX is to remain isolated for 24 hours after which SCP-XXXX may be interacted with according to normal protocol. During a "test" should SCP-XXXX be injured or killed follow guidelines presented in addendum XXXX.2. Following the incident in which Dr.████████ was [REDACTED] after claiming [REDACTED] should any staff wish to communicate with SCP-XXXX proper forms must be submitted along with a passing psychological evaluation and a list of prospective questions. After approval a time slot during SCP-XXXX's next "docile" state will be given. Interviews are to be supervised by individuals with level four clearance. Should SCP-XXXX prove resistant to questioning SCP-XXXX-W-A-3 is approved for usage as is SCP-XXXX-C-A-2, reference addendum XXXX.5 for further information. After the interview individuals are to have another psychological evaluation. Fountain pens are never to be brought into the cell following the incident with SCP-███.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a seemingly symbiotic relationship composed of 2 3 2 3 2 or 3 entities, as science staff cannot come to a common consensus. These entities have been given the designations SCP-XXXX-1A, SCP-XXXX-1B, SCP-XXXX-2 by Dr.████████. SCP-XXXX-1A is a humanoid entity donned in plate armor consistent with the styles of 16th century Europe as well as a cloak of varying colors: the most commonly observed of which are red, gold and black. At first science staff assumed the armor and cloak to be made of metal as well as cloth respectively, but upon the completion of the first "duel" staff ruled the armor and cloak to be organic in nature, reference incident report XXXX.2. The only other consistent visual characteristic of SCP-XXXX-1A is the long black hair which runs down its back, reference incident report XXXX.2. The body type of varies SCP-XXXX-1A between the incarnations. For instance the previous incarnation of SCP-XXXX-1A formerly known as Dr.████████ was a 2m tall male weighing 110 kg where as the current incarnation of SCP-XXXX-1A formerly known as Mrs.████████ stands 1.6m tall and weighs 78kg.
When it comes to skills, mental faculties and test results SCP-XXXX-1A is consistent across almost all incarnations, reference incident report XXXX.13. SCP-XXXX-1A has the ability to speak, its "voice" tends to sound jovial and is fairly deep, with the fundamental frequency falling between 60-120 HZ. In order to test its cognition SCP-XXXX-1A is always questioned about its identity, the exact question being "What are you?" SCP-XXXX-1A always replies "Why I am the Grand Cavalier." Testing has shown that SCP-XXXX-1A possesses intelligence on par with the average person,but when it comes to lucidity SCP-XXXX-1A can vary wildly, at times mixing tenses and various languages; identified languages include English, French,German, Egyptian, Russian,Japanese, Latin, Polish, Spanish, Italian, Mongolian, Mandarin, Greek, Farsi,Goidelic, Arabic and Norse. Four of the languages spoken have yet to be identified, but one designated SCP-XXXX-S-A-7 bears some resemblance to languages in the Na-Dene family. Language analysis conducted on audio records of SCP-XXXX-1A found the most commonly used words, other than pronouns, to be: Duel, fight, challenger, honor, champion, steed, lost, wander, lord, swear, oath, sword, lance, alone, grand, cavalier. Tests focusing on memory have shown interesting results with each incarnation maintaining emotional attachment to the various articles previous incarnations have collected, taking of these articles or handling of said article without permission results in SCP-XXXX-1A growing extremely irritable. Oddly enough, personal memories of the individual the current incarnation of SCP-XXXX-1A used to be appear to be lost. All incarnations of SCP-XXXX-1A have shown the ability to read and write, but further testing on writing as well as reading are forbidden, reference incident reports XXXX.6, XXXX.7, XXXX.14.
In terms of behavior SCP-XXXX-1A shows an incredible obsession with "dueling" constantly challenging anyone within the vicinity, the most common phrasing being "Come duel the Champion in lance or sword." Originally these requests were ignored or denied until SCP-XXXX-1A broke out of [REDACTED] in the process freeing SCPs [REDACTED] and proceeded to injure ███ and kill ██ people before security officer ███████ intervened and resolved the incident, reference incident report XXXX.2 . SCP-XXXX-1A only displays this state of hysteria when denied any "duel" for a month. In its normal emotional state SCP-XXXX-1A showed little interest in external matters until [REDACTED] after which SCP-XXXX-1A showed an immense curiosity in its surroundings. In an effort to manage the emotional state of SCP-XXXX-1A minor distractions were introduced until [REDACTED] after which SCP-XXXX-1A access to literature was restricted for the most part, reference incident report XXXX.7. At which point SCP-XXXX-W-A-1 was drafted taking advantage of an encounter between SCP-XXXX-1A and SCP-███. W-A-1 or written article 1 functions as a faux royal decree entitling the holder to an audience free of violence or duress. SCP-XXXX-W-A-1 was used with great success to minimize the aggression SCP-XXXX-1A displayed towards staff. Unfortunately SCP-XXXX-W-A-1 proved useless in mitigating SCP-XXXX-1A when it entered its hysterical state. The royal ruse has been expanded in an effort to understand SCP-XXXX-1A. When SCP-XXXX-1A is left to its own devices it passes the time by riding SCP-XXXX-2 or by reading its copy of to the lighthouse SCP-XXXX-1A after its intial reading of the text seems to only reread part 2, reference incident report XXXX.6.
Should SCP-XXXX-2 die, at which point SCP-XXXX-1B materializes, SCP-XXXX-1A seemingly goes dormant. After SCP-XXXX-1B completes its tasks, expanded upon further in its own section, SCP-XXXX-1A returns and enters what the observation team has called the "docile" state. During which SCP-XXXX-1A seems to be extremely caring, SCP-XXXX-W-A-1 is still recommended for all interactions, along with this new behavior comes an odd deviation in its obsession with dueling. SCP-XXXX-1A will not challenge anyone to a duel, challenges should not be issued by staff even as a joke reference incident report XXXX.3. This odd state lasts only 24 hours at which point SCP-XXXX-1A returns to its normal behavior. Attempts to question SCP-XXXX-1A proved fruitless as either it is unaware of the existence of SCP-XXXX-1B or is unable to become aware of its existence. This concludes the available information on SCP-XXXX-1A.
SCP-XXXX-1B is an entity or personality that occupies the same body as SCP-XXXX-1A. SCP-XXXX-1B is rarely seen only appearing after the death of SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-1B varies dramatically in personality from SCP-XXXX-1A it doesn't care for dueling and pays no mind to any of the articles SCP-XXXX-1A has collected. Upon manifestation SCP-XXXX-1B will hurry over to the body of SCP-XXXX-2 and proceed to consume every bit of the entity. Attempts to interrupt SCP-XXXX-1B have been met with hostility, reference incident report XXXX.2. In contrast to SCP-XXXX-1A SCP-XXXX-1B has a much higher reedy voice that has a fundamental frequency between 150-275hz. Upon consuming the corpse of SCP-XXXX-2 SCP-XXXX-1B will rub its stomach and sit in silence, attempts to speak were met with extreme hostility, reference incident report XXXX.2, after █ hours SCP-XXXX-2 will vomit up an absurd, measurements proved impossible reference incident report XXXX.2, amount of dark viscous fluid followed by a dark mass. If this mass does not stir within an hour then SCP-XXXX-1B proceeds to restart the process by consuming the mass. If the mass stirs within the hour then the outer shell begins to harder fairly quickly after which it cracks to reveal what appears to be a smaller version of SCP-XXXX-2. At this point SCP-XXXX-1B seemingly goes dormant. Attempts to question SCP-XXXX-1B about SCP-XXXX-1A resulted in the same answer, "Horrible! Lord should care more for steed,wicked, wicked lord." This concludes the available information on SCP-XXXX-1B.
SCP-XXXX-2 is an entity that takes the form of equus ferus caballus. SCP-XXXX-2 is covered in dark fur and has a mane of wavy black hair 175mm in length. A saddle seems to grow out of SCP-XXXX-2's back being small at the time it "hatches" and quickly growing to fit the body type of SCP-XXXX-1A across the span of 24 hours. There is a series of symbols seemingly carved into the saddle that are unknown, reference addendum XXXX.5. These physical traits are constant across all iterations of SCP-XXXX-2. Each iteration has a different colored set of eyes that look more human than equine, the most common colors seen thus far are in order of frequency: brown, blue, amber and green. Dr.████████ proposed that the color was [REDACTED] and thus could be predicted based on [REDACTED].
SCP-XXXX-2 shows little signs of intelligence and cannot speak. It has been observed that it can understand commands but will only follow them when issued by SCP-XXXX-1A. The tasks it can do have been evaluated as being no more complex than any other task an actual member of equus ferus caballus could do.
As far as behaviors are concerned SCP-XXXX-2 shows an odd array of behaviors. Upon being "hatched" the young SCP-XXXX-2 will proceed to scurry about the room in seeming fright, it is usually caught fairly quickly by SCP-XXXX-1A who will then raise SCP-XXXX-2 above its head and exclaim "Steed!" At this point SCP-XXXX-2 seems to be fairly rebellious listening to few commands if any and frequently issuing a high pitched cry, with a fundamental frequency in the range of 200 to 500hz. As the 24 hours progress SCP-XXXX-2 seems to grow more docile and quiet. When not being ridden by SCP-XXXX-1A SCP-XXXX-2 seems to enjoy standing in a corner of the cell and staring at the door, attempts to investigate this behavior have proved fruitless.
SCP-XXXX-2 departs from its typically routine when a "duel" takes place. When taking part in a duel SCP-XXXX-2 seems to grow increasingly aggressive and animated. Once the duel ends SCP-XXXX-2 issues a single cry as it did in its younger stage before going over to the corpse of the loser and consuming it, clothes, bones, flesh and all. Attempts to interrupt this process were met with protest from SCP-XXXX-1A. Exact words are consistent across iterations of SCP-XXXX-1A and are documented in incident report XXXX.2. This concludes the available information on SCP-XXXX-2.
