Sheridan Coakley

Sheridan Coakley AKA Haselhurst (or SCP-049) is the owner and founder of the SCP Foundation, who is secretly an SCP himself and is working with The Nether to take over the world. In his original form, he is a plague doctor who is considered a 'Euclid' class by SCP standards, and is obsessed with curing people of a seemingly random illness that only he is aware of.
== History ==
According to Haselhurst himself, he was once an SCP being held in the facility as a prisoner, when the owner was a man named Charles Gears, who was the son of the previous owner Aaron Siegel. Haselhurst decided to kill Charles Gears and take over the SCP Foundation by disguising himself as a man named 'Sheridan Coakley'.
The Nether knew of what Haselhurst was doing and decided to aid him in building the SCP Foundation in his image, allowing him to construct a facility beneath BellStone Asylum.
In the remake of Episode 2: Skullman's Creed, he mentions that his brother was killed by SCP-049, meaning that Charles Gears may have had a brother and Haselhurst killed him as well before disguising as him, or Haselhurst fabricated Charles' brother as a cover story so that he could take over the foundation.

=== Episode 2: Skullman's Creed (Remake) ===
Sheridan appears alongside Terri and Don Matthew in The Mafia warehouse as Matthew orders Dillan to stand down from trying to kill Henur and orders the other members of the mafia to come out of hiding such as Gill. He stands by whilst Matthew and Tamantha attempt to convince Henur to give up being a vigilante and to join the mafia with them. At some point, Dillan mentions Sheridans brother after bringing up the topic of family. Henur asks if 'they' grinded him up into an SCP file and Sheridan proceeds to explain that his brother was murdered by SCP-049 and afterwards he had to take his brothers place as the owner of the SCP Foundation.
Henur brushes this story off and comments that Terri might be the next to die if he continues his behaviour. Sheridan stays quite for the remainder of the scene.
=== Episode 4: Condemned for Sinners ===
==== (Part 1) ====
Zhang Wei enters Sheridans office as he is reading a bunch of documents on his desk. Sheridan takes notice that Zhang Wei seems a little upset and asks what's wrong, Zhang Wei proceeds to complain about Baron Samedi who Sheridan apparently recommended to him, explaining that he failed in retrieving Jade and mind controlling Chef Joseph. Sheridan makes a sarcastic remark that Joseph should've made a burrito with rats in it for Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei points out how Sheridan has barely looked up from his files to look at him, and Sheridan states that it is because he is busy. Zhang Wei then grabs his full attention when he mentions that DeadSkullable is the first '6000' SCP file. Sheridan is in disbelief and demands some proof that could prove DeadSkullable is truly the 6000th, to which Zhang Wei asks if he is willing to trust him. Sheridan is unsure and brings up a time that a kid framed their school bully as an SCP. Zhang Wei assures Sheridan that he'll find what he has very 'stimulating'.
==== (Part 2) ====
Sheridan discovers DeadSkullable and Lawrence after he had been beaten up by Ro-Man and Mike, he asks what's going on and Lawrence proceeds to explain the situation that transpired, that DeadSkullable was attacked. Sheridan immediately asks if Lawrence was the one who harmed him and Lawrence assures Sheridan that he didn't. DeadSkullable confirms Lawrences story and Sheridan brings up the rule that there is no fighting permitted.
DeadSkullable brings up the fact that Terri locked him in that room with the two SCPs that attacked him, and Sheridan says that he'll have to speak with Terri about it whilst also saying that the other SCP can help protect him. Sheridan says that since DeadSkullable is new, he'll have to check in with him in his office.
DeadSkullable brings up how he was framed and Sheridan expresses his scepticism, and introduces himself to DeadSkullable. He reiterates that DeadSkullable must meet him in his office at some point before leaving.
==== (Part 4) 3/3 ====
Terri and Emek bring DeadSkullable to the interrogation room where Sheridan is waiting. Sheridan asks Emek and Terri to leave the room and guard the door, before asking DeadSkullable how he feels about settling into the facility. DeadSkullable shows his disdain towards the SCP Foundation as a concept and expresses how horrible it has been to live in the facility and witness what they do to the SCPs. DeadSkullable also insults Sheridan who denies his claims of what the SCP is doing, and he tells what he believes the SCP Foundation is for: to prevent the SCPs from crossing over into the real world and potentially causing harm.
Sheridan then shows DeadSkullable a plague doctor mask and tells the story of Haselhurst, an SCP who he ended up letting go after some time. DeadSkullable asks why he's showing him this to which Sheridan jabs him in the neck with a syringe that makes him become ill. Sheridan then reveals that he is Haselhurst and tells of his own experience living in the SCP facility and telling of how he became the new owner of the SCP Foundation as a whole, by killing the original owner.
Zhang Wei then appears and Sheridan stands by as Zhang Wei attempts to take DeadSkullables blood. However, they are interrupted when the lights are shut off, Zhang Wei orders Sheridan to turn the lights back on. Sheridan shouts for Terri to come back on, to which he turns the lights back on and the three of them discover that DeadSkullable is gone. Zhang Wei notices a small pool of blood left behind by DeadSkullable and tells Sheridan to take some of it.
== Trivia ==
* Sheridan's name is directly taken from the name of the founder of the real SCP Manufacturing company, which is not related to the fictional SCP Foundation.
* Sheridan's human form bears a slight resemblance to Don Matthew. Although likely unintended, it could be possible that Haselhurst based attributes of his human form off of Matthew.
*Similar to the previous trivia, it could be possible that Zhang Wei based his plague doctor outfit off of Haselhurst for whatever reason, considering Haselhurst is also a plague doctor.
*A poll in the official Dark Fantasy Discord server asked if Haselhurst should die alongside other SCPS as options. Haselhurst received three votes.
*A series of posters created by DeadSkullable which conceptualises what various characters of The Asylum may look like in live action shows that Sheridan would preferably be played by Robert John Burke.
