Complications
Personality - 049 is a generally cooperative, amiable subject, though is known to become aggressive when denied new subjects.
Obsession - 049's life mission is to root out "The Pestilence", an unknown disease that the entity claims has infected nearly every living thing. Their "cure" for this disease is to kill their subjects and reanimate them into instances of SCP-049-2.
Power Loss (Deadly Touch) - 049's touch requires direct skin contact to cause a fatal reaction. Sufficient armor or thick enough clothing will keep it from taking effect.
Weakness (Lavender) - While not an outright solution to containment, the scent of lavender has been shown to calm the entity.
Background: SCP-049, colloquially known as "The Plague Doctor", is a Euclid-Class humanoid entity contained by the highly-secretive SCP Foundation. While the exact details of the subject's history haven't been disclosed, we do know two things; 049 has a pathological obsession with destroying all traces of "The Pestilence", an unknown disease that they believe has infected most living creatures, and 049 has been working towards that goal for hundreds of years. In the pursuit of this goal, 049 has left a trail of reanimated corpses (SCP-049-2) in its wake, the result of his supposed "cure". 049 was first contained by Foundation operatives in the French town of Montauban, discovered alongside several hostile 049-2 instances. After they were dispatched, 049 willingly entered Foundation Containment and has been there ever since, though not without the occasional incident regarding the lack of "test subjects". Its annoyance and eventual rage regarding the lack of human subjects would lead to the death and alteration of Dr. Hamm into a 049-2 instance, and the slight freedom the entity enjoyed to perform experiments was cut down to nothing. 049 has been under somewhat tight containment ever since; the potential danger its' intelligence and deadly touch presents brings them up to a Euclid-Class.
Notes: 049 is somewhat weird to stat out, as all SCPs are. Physically, 049 is a decent threat; able to physically overpower most people, but still frail enough to be taken down through sustained effort in unarmed. Usually doesn't come to that, however, due to the incredibly dangerous effect their Deadly Touch causes; a Linked Incurable Subtle 2 Weaken Stamina/Incurable Subtle Resisted by Fortitude Damage effect that drops pretty much any non-anomaly in the setting instantly and severely damages most biological entities, as well as his ability to create his own backup through revived 049-2s (Jab's Zombie Build is perfect for these). This is supplemented by his high-grade intellect, knowledge of history (a good portion of which he's lived through), and great medical knowledge. On the downside, he's only a PL 7.5 on active defenses and an 8 on exotic defenses. I wouldn't underestimate him, though.
