Physical Appearance
• Height: 6’2”
• Lean builtdbut incredibly strong, a mix of military precision and mechanical enhancement. His body speaks to a man who has pushed his limits, both through sheer training and augmentations.

A deep scar runs diagonally across his left eyebrow through the eye and ending just short of his cheek, the result of a dangerous encounter with SCP-682 during a containment breach. The savage reptilian attack cost him his left eye, leaving behind a permanent mark—a reminder of the sacrifices made in the line of duty.

Major Incidents & Encounters
Encounter with SCP-682 at Site-19
Commander Wolf was deployed to Site-19 during a containment breach, where he was tasked with assisting MTF Zeta-9 in containing SCP-682 after a failed cross-test with [REDACTED]. The massive reptilian creature had escaped its containment and was rampaging through the site.
In order to find a weak point, Wolf had to get in close and maneuver carefully, using precision and tactical insight to avoid becoming prey to SCP-682’s relentless strikes. Once in position, he injected the anomaly with a compound—partly derived from the acidic substance of SCP-682’s own containment chamber and further refined using substance [REDACTED]. This compound weakened SCP-682, causing the creature to falter.
With the beast temporarily weakened, Wolf engaged his cybernetic arm, using its enhanced strength to restrain one of SCP-682’s limbs. Despite his resolve, the creature managed to deliver a savage attack that resulted in the loss of his left eye. The breach was eventually stabilized thanks to the efforts of MTF Zeta-9 and Commander Wolf’s quick intellect and enhanced abilities, though it came with many casualties. Remarkably, there were zero fatalities among the researchers and MTF members, thanks to Wolf’s tactical command.
Encounter with SCP-049
In one of the rare moments during his missions, Commander Wolf had a meeting with SCP-049, the Plague Doctor. During their encounter, SCP-049 was surprised to find that Wolf showed no signs of the pestilence—the Great Dying. Unlike with other researchers, SCP-049 kept an open dialogue with Wolf, sharing valuable information about anomalies he otherwise keeps hidden.
Symbolic Aspects
Commander Wolf’s appearance—his silver-grey hair, the scar across his left eye, and his cybernetic arm—reflects the trials he has endured and the strength he has acquired. His glowing teal right eye symbolizes the unnatural enhancements that make him more than human. These features, combined with his sharp tactical mind, command respect and fear from both allies and anomalies alike.
Interpersonal Relationships
• Dr. Clef: Wolf shares a mutual interest in firearms with Dr. Clef, allowing them to collaborate on projects and tactical strategies involving weaponry.
• Dr. Bright: Constantly attempting to get Wolf to laugh, Bright’s antics aim to bring more than a smirk from the stoic commander—an effort Wolf often meets with a quiet amusement.
• Dr. Gears: Wolf maintains intellectual integrity with Dr. Gears, appreciating the engineer’s innovations and sharing deep conversations about their respective work in containment and anomaly research.
• The O-5 Council: Wolf has open communication with the O-5 Council, and his inputs are taken seriously and considered whenever he shares information, demonstrating his respected standing within the higher echelons of the SCP Foundation.
Major Events
• Commander Wolf was one of the consultants involved in the aftermath of Incident 096-1-A, where he coordinated with the O-5 Council in determining how to move forward with Dr. Dan’s plans of neutralizing SCP-096 and the further needed research into the Scramble technology.
• He was also part of the oversight of the MTF squad that discovered and contained SCP-173, one of the earliest and most infamous containment efforts in Foundation history.
