West

Dr. West (fl. 1961 - 1974) was a scientist working for the SCP Foundation in the Scientific Department. West held a commanding position at SCP-2419 before the evacuation, and was responsible for the creation of the thousands of instances of SCP-2419-A due to negligence.
==Biography==
===Early life===
Nothing is known of West prior to his recruitment by the SCP Foundation, though it is likely that he was a scientist born on Earth in the 20th century CE. It is also likely, judging from his last name, that West likely is English or descended from an English family.Entry Page: 2419
===Foundation career===
West rose up the ranks in the Scientific Department, eventually earning a ranking position at a Foundation waste disposal facility. He began researching amnestics, particularly a way to procure a more precise amnestic to target specific memories. This method was to "boil" away the good memories of a recently deceased cadaver. West delivered an orientation speech on this subject to new researchers entering Unit B of the facility on 9 May 1961.
In 1974, a worker named Terry was attacked and killed by an instance of SCP-2419-A; West dismissed this as an anomalous cadaver that was still active, but his friend and colleague Dr. Jim Hammond discovered that the boiling process turned the cadavers into immortal, hateful creatures. On 12 September, West sent a memo to Hammond, ranting towards him about Hammond's religious beliefs and his continuous attempts to inform the Administrative Department about 2419-A. This email ended with West informing Hammond that he will be transferred to another facility.
It is unknown what occurred afterwards, especially prior to and during the controlled evacuation and designation of the facility as SCP-2419, but West's status is currently unknown.
==Personality==
West seemed to be a nervous man of science, as he repeated filler words such as "ah" during his orientation in 1961, though seemed to be innocuous. However, deep down, West was a cold, uncaring, negligent man who despised people with stark religious beliefs; his belittling of his former friend Dr. Jim Hammond and his off-color remark at the beginning of the orientation showed how little he cared for people of religion. 
He also was unaffected by the fact that he was stripping the only good memories out of freshly dead corpses, caring nothing for the people whose lives he inadvertently ruined. This continuous act resulted in the creation of thousands of creatures that were completely immortal, felt no pain, and held a stark hatred for everything in existence.
