==Biography==
===Discovery===
SCP-172 was discovered by the SCP Foundation after the Great War in a chamber that was the former vacation home of the Czars and was exposed due to stray bombs hitting it. The chamber and the things in it were damaged badly, but 172, in an iron crate, was perfectly intact, he was then taken into Foundation custody and wound-up inside a testing facility.
===Being brought into Foundation custody===
When SCP-172 was wound up, he woke up from a deep sleep and greeted everyone in the room in Russian. When an agent named ████████████ got surprised, 172 pushed his hand against his chest and repeated his greeting in English. 172 was then brought into questioning and asked what his last memory was, and he said that it was playing with a young boy. The boy left, and he began to feel very tired, so he returned to the box. He has no memory of when he was created, who created him, or his name.

==Containment procedures==
SCP-172's containment area is to be stocked with pencils, paper, and additional stuff requested by 172. Tables, chairs, and additional furniture requested by 172 are to be approved by Dr. █████ Upon entering his dormant state, 172 should be placed in his transportation box until he is re-wound. Armed Security Officers are to be stationed at 172's containment area's door, and if there is any attempt at escape by 172, he is to be asked to cease and desist and led back to his containment chamber. Any personnel wanting to access 172 need to be submitted via written approval and go through a 1-hour training session. Any form of interaction with 172 must be monitored by at least one Class-4 operative, who may end the operation at their choice. Any and all records, drawings, or correspondence made by 172 must be submitted to Dr. █████ for review. A reasonable request from 172 can be granted by Dr. █████. 172 is allowed out of his containment area with approval as long as he is accompanied by a Class-4 operative who is armed.
