Item #: SCP-049
Object Class: Euclid
Laconic Containment Procedures: SCP-049 resides in a holding cell with a security camera.
Laconic Description: SCP-049 is a humanoid creature standing 1.9 meters tall, capable of speaking several languages, although he prefers medieval French and English. SCP-049 resembles a medieval plague doctor and claims he needs people infected with "the pestilence." If SCP-049 senses this pestilence in a person, he will attempt to kill them, mainly through direct skin contact; SCP-049 can kill through direct skin contact. Afterward, he will perform crude surgery on the person. Successful encounters usually result in an instance of SCP-049-2 (a zombie).
Additional Context: SCP-049 came into contact with SCP-035 during a containment breach; SCP-049's behavior after the encounter implies that SCP-049 and SCP-035 may have met each other in the past.
The article has recently received a massive rewrite to make SCP-049 more sympathetic and keep with the standards of newer SCPs.
