SCP-7438 "Jurgen the Landsknecht"
Item #: SCP-7438
Object Class: Euclid
Site: Site-19
Special Containment Procedures:
SCP-7438 is to be housed in a standard humanoid containment chamber at Site-19. The chamber is to be equipped with Renaissance-era decor, including appropriate furniture and access to HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) manuals and practice weapons. SCP-7438 is permitted daily exercise in a secured training area, where he may practice fencing techniques under supervision.
SCP-7438 is allowed supervised social interactions with SCP-049 (Plague Doctor) twice a week. Any requests for additional interactions or access to historical materials must be approved by the Site Director.
Given SCP-7438’s advanced combat skills, he is not to be approached by unarmed personnel. In the event of a containment breach, SCP-7438 is to be subdued with non-lethal methods; firearms are to be used only as a last resort.
Description:
SCP-7438, also known as "Jurgen the Landsknecht," is a male of German origin, approximately 27 years of age, with brown hair and green eyes. He stands at 6 feet tall and possesses above-average physical strength, endurance, and dexterity. SCP-7438 is extraordinarily skilled in the use of the zweihander, a large two-handed sword commonly associated with Landsknechts, and demonstrates proficiency in a variety of HEMA techniques, particularly those found in Kunst des Fechtens.
Upon initial recovery, SCP-7438 was clad in a green and dark green Landsknecht uniform, featuring a cuirass chest plate, hourglass gauntlets, a chainmail cape, gambeson underlay, and a singular thigh plate. His attire, though traditional, exhibited signs of having been modified for increased protection, indicative of his status as a Doppelsöldner (double-paid soldier). SCP-7438’s weapon of choice is a flamberge zweihander, which he wields with exceptional skill.
Background and Discovery:
SCP-7438 was discovered on August 1, 2024, at a Renaissance fair in [REDACTED], United States. Witnesses reported SCP-7438 appearing in the midst of the fair, seemingly disoriented and aggressive. Mistaking actors dressed as Swiss guards for actual combatants, SCP-7438 engaged them using historical fencing techniques, demonstrating impressive agility and strength.
Local law enforcement was called to the scene. SCP-7438 successfully resisted multiple attempts to subdue him, including being tased by two officers. SCP-7438 overpowered the officers, causing significant damage to their vehicle, including flipping one car during the altercation. It was only after a coordinated response from 18 additional officers, during which SCP-7438 sustained gunshot wounds, that he was finally subdued and taken into custody.
The Foundation intervened shortly thereafter, transferring SCP-7438 to Site-19 for containment and study.
Historical Context:
SCP-7438 claims to have been in the service of a nobleman during the 16th century, where he was contracted to lay siege to a Swiss castle. His last memories before appearing in the modern era are fragmented, but he recalls intense battle scenes and an encounter with SCP-049, whom he knew as a plague doctor on the battlefield.
SCP-7438 speaks in an archaic form of English with a heavy German accent and occasionally lapses into Latin or German, particularly when discussing combat or historical events. He expresses a strong desire to return to his own time but also shows a growing interest in modern fencing techniques and the abundance of historical knowledge available to him.
Personality:
SCP-7438 is disciplined, polite, and highly respectful of those he deems worthy, particularly those with knowledge of historical combat. He displays a deep sense of honor and duty, consistent with his background as a Landsknecht. Despite his initial hostility upon arrival, SCP-7438 has adapted relatively well to containment, showing curiosity about the modern world and its advancements in martial arts and history.
SCP-7438 has formed a notable bond with SCP-049, whom he regards as an old acquaintance from his time. Their interactions have been largely peaceful, with discussions often revolving around their shared experiences in the past and the nature of their current predicament.
Anomalous Properties:
SCP-7438 exhibits physical abilities that exceed those of a typical human, particularly in terms of strength, endurance, and dexterity. These abilities, coupled with his combat training, make him a formidable opponent in close-quarters combat. SCP-7438 also demonstrates an accelerated healing factor, allowing him to recover from wounds that would incapacitate a normal human. However, this healing is not instantaneous, and SCP-7438 can still be rendered unconscious or killed with sufficient force.
Addendum 7438-1:
Further research is ongoing to determine the exact nature of SCP-7438's temporal displacement. All attempts to identify the mechanism by which SCP-7438 was transported to the present have thus far been inconclusive. SCP-7438’s interactions with SCP-049 have also provided intriguing insights, suggesting a possible connection between the two entities that predates SCP-7438's arrival in the modern era.
