SCP-4834-J wears a monocle, the top half of a three-piece suit, and a large top hat. SCP-4834-J refuses to part with its items of clothing and threatened personnel with violence when a security team attempted to remove its monocle by force. Despite this, an external analysis suggests the items are non-anomalous.

SCP-4834-J is cooperative with the foundation and is perfectly content with its confinement, provided its containment area remains “Perfectly free of Riff-Raff”.

SCP-4834-J was discovered by foundation agent Michaels, who was undercover in The Order of St Michael and St George in the UK. The Agent was browsing the order’s archives and found a picture of a Sir Albert Bearington: Companion of The Order of St Michael and St George for his offshore contributions to the commonwealth (CMG). The Order files pertaining to the details of SCP-4834-J’s acquirement of the award are uncharacteristically vague but contained SCP-4834-J's home address.

The address enclosed in SCP-4834-J's file on the MG archives was found to be of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire England. When a foundation team investigated, they found SCP-4834-J in the master bedroom sitting in a rocking chair in front of the fire. An elderly butler was found tending to the fireplace in the master bedroom. The butler was found to be a regular civilian who displayed neither confusion nor an explanation as to why his master was a bear; the reason for this remains unclear. The butler was amnesticized and given a cover story.

When the initial investigatory team attempted to apprehend SCP-4834-J, the entity defended itself by claiming it legally owned the building and that the foundation agents were tresspassing³.

SCP-4834-J agreed to containment provided he be given "Appropriate accommodation for an individual of his social stature". Foundation staff interpretation of these demands appears to have satisfied SCP-4834-J.

Addendum-1: SCP-4834-J was found missing from containment on 1/9/2016. Security footage showed SCP-4834-J politely asking to attend a party in █████████ Buckinghamshire. Security personnel proceeded to escort SCP-4834-J to the party⁴.

Surveillance footage of the party reveal people conversing with SCP-4834-J, individuals at the party often remarked on his polite and articulate nature, despite SCP-4834-J being moderately intoxicated due to drinking an entire bottle of Chateau Margaux (1787)⁵. No individuals at the party appeared to be confused at SCP-4834-J's presence, often displaying gratitude and relief that: "Sir Bearington received and accepted our invitation."

Addendum-2: On 22/9/2016 SCP-4834-J was, yet again, found missing from his containment cell. The entity was discovered 13 hours later in a Glaswegian golf course with the Duke of Hamilton and his retinue.

SCP-4834-J was found boasting about his ancestral talent for golf, and his innate skill for the sport. Impressively, SCP-4834-J proceeded to hit all 17 of his assigned balls into the hole 14 out-of-bounds area, despite shooting from hole 4. How SCP-4834-J managed this "Ballisticly Impossible" act is, as of yet, unknown.

Addendum-3: Incident Log 4834-J-1

On 7/10/2016 Agent Smith got into an argument with SCP-4834-J, which culminated in SCP-4834-J’s top hat and monocle being knocked off SCP-4834-J’s head. SCP-4834-J flew into a violent rage resulting in 10 9⁶ injuries before SCP-4834-J reacquired the aforementioned articles of clothing.

4. When questioned, personnel informed the internal investigations team that: "He was just so polite about asking, I would have quite frankly been embarrassed if I had not escorted him there personally". Research into how SCP-4834-J managed to be so polite is ongoing.
