Actor Humphrey Bogart as most similar to SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be provided a false Foundation database updated with fake or manufactured anomalous activity, lab testing and transcripts on a biweekly basis. Project-Maltese-Falcon-E6 is to manufacture anomalous activity at regularly changing intervals at the discretion of Dr. Stein and alert SCP-XXXX to their whereabouts.

MTF-Eta-6("Private Eye") is to accompany SCP-XXXX and obfuscate the origins of the false anomalies. Members of MTF-Eta-6 are to dress in early 20th century attire befitting of a private investigator, and outwardly behave in a manner consistent with the guidelines of the false containment procedures when in the object's presence. Eta-6 are to accompany and monitor SCP-XXXX until it is satisfied and demanifests.

Termination testing is pending.

Description: SCP-XXXX resembles a shapeshifting humanoid. It's size, facial features, coloration and voice are malleable, however SCP-XXXX will most often appear as a greyscale replica of actor Humphrey Bogart, standing at 1.72 m in height and appearing in his early forties. SCP-XXXX's skin will passively ripple with amorphous black marks consistent with static on an early television screen in this state. It will likewise appear partially shadowed similarly to if it were in chiaroscuro lighting regardless of the brightness of its environment. SCP-XXXX's original form or if it has one is unknown.

SCP-XXXX will claim itself to be a "private eye" or "detective" and will compulsively "investigate" anomalous or otherwise mysterious activity. SCP-XXXX's behavior is presumed to be a persistent delusion wherein it mimics the behavior of early noir film protagonists and not a conscious lie.

SCP-XXXX possesses the ability to translocate across distances of indeterminate scale and phase through solid matter.

SCP-XXXX has demonstrated a basic proficiency in forensics and an eidetic memory, and is fluent in all human languages.

SCP-XXXX is a Class C reality warper, and has demonstrated the ability to (among other things):

• Levitate small objects
• Deconstruct and reconstruct matter within a range of approximately 4 m
• Conjure small objects such as cigarettes, lighters, handkerchiefs, magnifying glasses, clothing, an FN Model 1910 pistol, a desk lamp and a fedora
• Alter the lighting in a locale of approximately 14 sq m

Addendum: SCP-XXXX was discovered in
