SCP-073

Cain el Adam, known as SCP-073 by the SCP Foundation, is the son of Adam el Asem, the First King of Men. He was cursed by his father and banished from Audapaupadopolis. Cain wandered the lands of men for eons, eventually being discovered in New York City and captured by the SCP Foundation.
SCP-073 was involved in several cross-experimentation and interviews, including about the Children of the Night and his brothers.
==Biography==
===Re-emergence===
In the late 1900s, Cain was detained by the New York Police Department in New York City, New York, after an altercation involving a gang. The gang attempted to attack him, but his deflecting property caused their attacks to reflect back to the gang, killing them. He was deemed a John Doe by the NYPD after they found no form of ID on him. The SCP Foundation took capture of him during routine inspections of John Does, assigning him the name of SCP-073 and containing him at Site-17. He was granted clearance to know much of the SCP Foundation's operations, serving as a living backup thanks to his immortality and photographic memory.Entry Page: 073
=== Tests and interviews===
SCP-073 confirmed his relation to SCP-076-2 on multiple occasions, though affirmed that it'd be best if he never met him again. He also provided information that beryllium bronze originated from the Middle East, though did not expand upon it.
==Alternate realities==
=== Brother's Keeper ===
During an XK-class End-of-the-World Scenario, SCP-073 was tasked by Dr. Kain Pathos Crow with taking a briefcase to the surface and opening it. He refused, however, and simply wanted to wait and die. 073 and Crow briefly discussed Cain's proto-Foundation group eons ago, and how the SCP Foundation was much more successful than they were. He then relinquished his curse at Crow's urging, giving it to Crow so that he may form a new Foundation and so that Cain could finally die.Brother's Keeper
=== Mementos ===
At some time in this reality, 073 became the head of Archival Storage, where personal amenities of former and deceased SCP Foundation personnel were held. Cain noted the three types of people that come to Archival Storage: rummagers that leave after finding nothing of value, looters that are turned away by 073, and people that come to remember. A woman once entered Archival Storage in order to gather supplies for her new position, speaking to Cain as he described his duty and Archival Storage's purpose, until she left with her needed items.Mementos
===Zero Timeline===
When Incident Zero occurred, as multiple timelines converged, 073 replaced his brother, SCP-076-2, as the SCP in Team Able of MTF Omega-7 "Pandora's Box". Team Able, including Agent Squire, was massacred by an interdimensional blubbery creature before 073 could make it to them. He met the remaining members of Team Iris shortly after, explaining their deaths to the team. He then informed Agents Adrian Andrews and Beatrix Maddox that they were the only important members of Team Iris, instructing them to follow him in order to rectify this situation.Incident Zero - Part 3
After 073 opened a locked door, he instructed Andrews and Maddox to go first, as it was inevitable. As soon as they did so, however, Maddox was grabbed by Steel Doll, who snapped her neck. The robot then blew Andrews' leg off, before it was lured into punching 073. The doll then exploded as a result of 073's passive deflection ability, with a large piece barreling down into Andrews' brain. 073 then put the agents' bodies aside, stepping into The Bloom's chamber. Soon afterwards, 076-2 arrived, the two brothers meeting once again.Incident Zero - Part 4
073 stepped aside, allowing his brother to destroy The Bloom. This combined several timelines into one in a TK-class Causal Restructuring Event.Incident Zero - Part 5

===Early life and exile===
Cain el Adam was born to Adam el Asem and Lilith, the king and queen of the Children of the Sun, in the flying city of Audapaupadopolis. He watched as his father became corrupted by Apollyon's Crown, developing the vice of envy. Cain eventually confronted his father after Able's rebellion, asking him to see reason and give the crown to him.Entry Page: 4840
=== Exile from Audapaupadopolis ===
One day, the armies of the two brothers fought each other over the Crown in the fields of Eden below Audapaupadopolis, though Able offered peace to Cain only to be killed by his own brother with a stone. Cain immediately regretted his action, bringing his brother's body to his father, Adam, in repentance. 
Adam became greatly angered by the betrayal of Cain, tearing his arms off, as they were used to kill his own brother. He also cursed his son with perfect memory so that he never forgot his great betrayal, and to eternally wander the earth, cursing the ground he walked. At some point, Cain's limbs, spinal cord, and shoulder blades were replaced with beryllium bronze cybernetics.
Their story was exaggerated and expanded throughout the eons, eventually becoming the Biblical story of Abel and Cain. He lived many lives across many lands during this time.Entry Page: 6666
=== Interviews ===
Some time after he was contained, SCP-073 was interviewed by Director Sophia Light regarding the Children of the Night, speaking to her of their history. 073 also spoke of Methuselah and the persistent anger of his brother Able. He requested information on Seth, but was denied access, though he only wished to apologize to him for what happened.
=== A Restless Wanderer On The Earth ===
===Restless wandering===
Cain eventually traveled to Nod, living there for a time, as Nod could not support crops due to its inhospitable environment. He soon discovered that he could not age, and his metal parts could not rust. Cain erected cities that possessed various Ways; his curse could not go through Way portals, enabling his people to tend to fields in fertile lands such as Sumer. Despite this, Cain still had nightmares of his brother Abel, which invigorated Cain to form a kingdom like his father Adam did.
This kingdom utilized lost technology that the Children of the Night left behind during their invasion of Old Europ, using it to destroy armies, monsters, and entire civilizations before Cain made their lands barren with his curse. However, he eventually realized that this only deepened his regret and sorrow, so he instead formed a family with an unknown family, siring a son named Enoch. Cain witnessed his family expand, even seeing his grandchildren.
However, Cain was plagued by his insensate wanderings, so he chained himself in Enoch's Palace. There, he witnessed his kingdom crumble into ruin, the palace collapsing on top of him. Due to his immortality, he did not die, though he was in immense pain. Cain's descendants, the Lost Children, unearthed him to give Cain instructions. He then set off again, wandering once more.A Restless Wanderer On The Earth
==Personality==
Despite his toxicity to plant life, Cain is very affable, being courteous to most people he encounters. The SCP Foundation labeled his attitude as a "general will to please", showing his character. Eons ago, he tried to peacefully convince his father, Adam el Asem, to relinquish his crown, but was forced to fight his closest brother. In anger, after Able offered peace, Cain killed him with a stone. He immediately regretted this decision, bringing his body to Adam only to be cursed and have his arms torn off; even in retrospect, 073 thought of his longevity as a blessing. Despite the long years since, he rarely ever changed his personality or outlook on life.
When asked about the Children of the Night, 073 noticeably spoke in a more hushed tone, as well as when speaking of his home city. 073 showed clear regret for inflicting pain upon his brother, Seth, due to his exodus from Audapaupadopolis, hoping to apologize to him one day. Despite his apparent fear of the Children of the Night, he used their abandoned technology during his time in Nod, though this was when Cain hated the gods and wished to fight their will.
== Containment procedures ==
073 is kept in a two-room cell with a bathroom and living quarters at Site-17. The furniture inside is not made of or derived from plant life due to his anomalous property. 073 is allowed to wander the facility and even eat at the canteen. He has a tracking device embedded on his person, and is not allowed within contact of plant-based SCPs or the surface. Personnel are also not to use violence against 073 by any means, as well.
