Lore

"SCP-049 is 1.9 m. tall and weighs an indeterminable amount due to given his lethality through touch. The thick robes it appears to wear are a part of its body, which despite appear to be external actually grow from SCP-049 - through X-Ray scans, he does have a humanoid skeletal system underneath."

"SCP-049 will become hostile with individuals it sees as being affected by the Pestilence, often having to be restrained should it encounter such. If left unchecked, SCP-049 will generally attempt to kill any such individual; SCP-049 is capable of causing all biological functions of an organism to cease through direct skin contact. How this occurs is currently unknown, and autopsies of SCP-049's victims have invariably been inconclusive. SCP-049 has expressed frustration or remorse after these killings, indicating that they have done little to kill "The Pestilence", though will usually seek to then perform a crude surgery on the corpse using the implements contained within a black doctor's bag it carries on its person at all times. While these surgeries are not always "successful", they often result in the creation of instances of SCP-049-2."

In Game

SCP-049 spawns in his containment cell in Heavy Containment Zone.
SCP-049 can immediately leave the cell upon spawning, given as he must use the elevator in this area to reach HCZ properly. Upon leaving, SCP-049 will be let loose to cure the impure of the facility, and end the "Pestilence".

SCP-049 can 'cure' any human instantly by pressing Left Clickon them.

By holding Eon a human corpse, SCP-049 can resurrect them as an instance of SCP-049-2.
SCP-049 can revive any dead body within a period of 10 seconds after they died. It takes 7 seconds to revive any dead body.
The cause of death does not matter, as SCP-049 can revive people who he didn't kill.
SCP-049 can't revive other SCPs.

SCP-049 has some serious weaknesses. SCP-049 is incapable of running and walks briskly at most, making him one of the slowest SCPs in the game. SCP-049 can also only jump slightly higher than SCP-173.
SCP-049's attack has a 1.5 cooldown, activating only on successful kills, making it hard for him to kill a group of people easily.

SCP-049 can talk to the other SCPs by holding down the Qkey. This voice chat can be heard by all SCPs regardless of distance.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

• Instant kills.
• Can create instances of SCP-049-2, which can be used as meat shields for the SCPs and can overwhelm humans.
• No capacity on how many instances of SCP-049-2 can exist, meaning a massive army can be constructed if played correctly.
• Can resurrect any human dead body, no matter the cause of death.

Weaknesses:

• Incredibly slow movement.
• Low HP.
• Audible and recognizable footsteps.
• Can only create instances of SCP-049-2 from people that were killed within the last 10 seconds.
• Spawning SCP-049-2 instances forces SCP-049 to be immobile until the respawn is complete.
