==Biography==
===Early life===
The Terse was likely born in the 19th century CE in The Netherlands, joining the Dutch East Indies Company at some point. He eventually joined the Special Investigations Board, a division of the Company dedicated to the anomalous. The Terse developed a reputation for his curt speech, earning his nickname. He became a high-ranking member of the Board by the time of Occult War i, which he participated in and remembered after the Consensus, a CK-class Restructuring Scenario performed by the Visionary, the leader of Her Majesty's Foundation for the Secure Containment of the Paranormal.Entry Page: 001 - Wrong Proposal
===Forbidden City Convention===
Alongside eleven other leading members of the anomalous community, the Terse was invited by the Visionary of Her Majesty's Foundation for the Secure Containment of the Paranormal to attend the Forbidden City Convention in Peking, China. There, the Visionary proposed that all thirteen of the organizations unite to form the SCP Foundation, with the thirteen delegates becoming the O5 Council. The Terse only agreed to this proposal, as He Who Waits' proposal "essentially demanded [them] to be anarchists" and The Physician wanted to utilize an Oriental drug. 
Soon after, a vote was held to remember Occult War i or not: this would be voted upon biannually. The first vote passed 5-4-4, with all members remembering the war.
=== Career===
The Terse took the mantle of O5-8, adopting a policy of vetoing any parliamentary leadership akin to the United Nations Global Occult Coalition's Council of 108, as well as coining the term "Group of Interest". O5-8 is a strong proponent for GoI dissolution, despite holding no known vendetta against any of them.O5 Command Dossier
Eventually, O5-8 wrote a letter to his eventual successor, writing about why he chose the Visionary's proposal as compared to He Who Waits' or The Physician's proposals. He then spoke of the Foundation not being so different from its precursors, before informing his successor that he expected them to keep up with their new role.
