Simon Oswalt

Simon Oswalt, now identified as SCP-2480-1 and as Karcist Karvas, was an American executive affiliated with the SCP Foundation as Site Director of Dimensional Research Site-13 at Bodfel Manor, Massachusetts. While stationed there, he became manipulated by Pseudo-Ion, who showed Oswalt the dossier on him; he learned of the disregard that the upper echelons of the Foundation had for him, converting to Sarkicism and named Karcist Karvas. 
Psuedo-Ion transformed Karvas into a Sarkic mutant, Karvas now holding control over the denizens of SCP-2480. He was captured by the Foundation after an operation was conducted to contain 2480, Karvas being dubbed 2480-1 and contained at Armed Biological Area-14. 
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Simon Oswalt was born in the 20th century CE in the United States. It is unknown when he joined the SCP Foundation or in what circumstances this occurred, but he climbed the ranks of the Administrative Department to the position of Site Director. Despite his rank, his superiors believed Oswalt to be an inconsequential dullard, placing him at the seemingly innocuous Dimensional Research Site-13 at Bodfel Manor, Massachusetts, overseeing the then-inactive SCP-2480.Entry Page: 2480
=== Conversion ===
In the 1960s, Oswalt was approached by Pseudo-Ion, a Karcist-level entity and false copy of the Sarkic religious figure Grand Karcist Ion, who showed Oswalt the dossier that Oswalt's superiors had on him. This turned Oswalt to Sarkicism, taking the name of Karcist Karvas and being mutated into a Sarkic creature by Psuedo-Ion. Karvas held control over SCP-2480, opening it once again. The remaining staff of Site-13 was massacred by Karvas, who impaled them upon the walls of the facility. He kept sending reports to the Foundation, who were none the wiser due to the seeming non-threat of Site-13 and Oswalt.
=== Capture ===
When Karvas did not send a biannual report in mid 1988, agents Samuel Roe and Sarah Valentine were sent to ███████, a town on the outskirts of Bodfel Manor, only to go missing. A team of undercover MTF Epsilon-6 "Village Idiots" operatives were soon sent to the village, only to experience severe losses at the hands of invisible entities under Karvas' control. Dr. Calixto Narváez, a renowned scientist and expert on psychotropics, was soon sent to the village, where he discovered DMT could reveal the entities. During a later expedition, Narváez was the only survivor after several Sarkic entities attacked his group.
After estimations were made that SCP-2480 would lead to an SK-Class "Dominance Shift" Scenario by 2030, Project SITRA ACHRA was formed, with the creation of MTF Psi-9 "Abyss Gazers" between the Foundation and the Global Occult Coalition. Over the course of 12 years, Psi-9 operated within SCP-2480 at night in clandestine operations to eventually reclaim Dimensional Research Site-13. During this time, in 1989, Karvas wrote commentaries on Sarkic scripture, including the apocryphal Sone Valosh.PP-NEU-0127 - "AncestRecall" Despite severe casualties, Karvas was finally captured in 2000, with the remaining entities of SCP-2480 becoming dormant once Karvas was extracted from the area to Armed Biological Containment Area-14 in the Ruby Mountains of Nevada.
=== Interview ===
Karvas was dubbed SCP-2480-1, before interviewed by Dr. Peter Hull. Hull inquired as to why 2480-1 kept the populace of ███████ alive, to which he replied that they were needed for the same purpose as domesticated pigs; though, when Hull asked what happened to those that vanished, 2480-1 cryptically replied that pigs were intelligent, though pork was delicious.
2480-1 also clarified on why he turned, though when Hull disregarded the many titles 2480-1 gave Grand Karcist Ion (in truth, Psuedo-Ion), 2480-1 broke free of his restraints. His limbs were severed, however, so he was simply contained once more by Security Department agents.
