Per 
Ethereal Warrior
Class: Euclid
Dangerous
Humanoid
The creature requires a cell of 26 by 14 by 8 feet, furnished after medieval barracks and with a large tub of water. The warrior itself is about 6’ 1”, and is a slightly transparent and pale humanoid, and wanders about its make-believe barrack moaning and screaming about a queen, and a dreary world it was trapped in, thought to be this one. Conversation and coherent speech have been coaxed out of it twice, by Doctor James D. Barlowe, reported below.
The water is significant in that the warrior blesses it every night, creating some antidote or relief. The water must be replaced every night by armed guards with level three security clearance or more. The water is collected, as it has shown to help with both physical and mental trauma. If the creature does not bathe in new water each night at about 9 pm, it will be reduced to a violent ball of gas with a glowing core. This gaseous, reduced form can escape the cell, and in this state the SCP has been credited with severely psychologically damaging and eventually killing three Foundation members. The ball of gas seems to attack by flying at high speed through the abdominal area of the security guards. These staff underwent major psychiatric evaluation. All three members were sent home for the week, told to get rest, and all three committed suicide within the same five minutes. One report on a damaged member is described by doctor Barlowe below.
The warrior is known to seemingly pull a longsword out of thin air and practice very advanced sword moves. This is the only time when said creature appears focused. Training sessions, as they have been dubbed, last 2-3 minutes and occur rarely. Eventually, it drops the sword and resumes its pacing and moaning. The sword can be recovered by members with level three security clearance or more. When examined, the sword reminds one of the infinitely sharp “sword of death” from the book The Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. The sword itself weighs 9.587 pounds every time it is taken from the ethereal plane, is 3.38 feet in length and 4 inches wide, and seems to glow. On the crossguard is inscribed “Illa Proteget”, latin for “Defend the Queen.”

[Begin Report]
Dr. Barlowe: “Welcome, Joseph. May I call you Joe?”
Joseph Vaughn: “ Sure, doc. Whaddya need?”
Dr Barlowe: “I need you to describe in full detail what happened the night SCP-XXXX breached containment. This will end faster if you hold nothing back.”
Joseph Vaughn: “Well, I looked into the cell of that dreadful thing, and there it was mumbling manically to itself just like the usual, and… Good Lord, can I be reassigned? What it did and said were… God, just unnatural, like it said…
Dr. Barlowe: Joseph?
Joseph Vaughn: “Oh, yeah. Well, anyways, it started moving ‘round all super fast like, and then it just stopped. It stopped and looking straight into my eyes. Its pupils were… glowing. Glowing, and when I looked back, I saw so much emotion, courage, sadness…” (whispering) “It told me it had failed.” “And then it threw its arms back and it screamed. It screamed like nothin’ you ever heard. It made my limbs numb, and it made me feel so sad. All ‘a sudden I understood. He nearly died in battle, trying to save his queen. He was tortured, then forced to watch her killed before his eyes, and he was transported to this plane through magic. All he wants is the relief of death, but it can’t come to him in this world. He has to live with that each day… and now that I understand, I want it too.
Dr. Barlowe: I’m very sorry Joseph, we’ll end this here. Why don’t you take a week off from work and get some rest?
