Leon Spitzer

Leon Spitzer (died 16 November 1966) was an American operative that worked for the SCP Foundation in the mid-20th century. While attempting to find a copy of SCP-701 in Florence, Italy during the wake of the 1966 flood of the Arno alongside Agent Roger Anderson, Spitzer was exposed to SCP-012 after it was unearthed by archaeologist K. M. Sandoval. Both Spitzer and Sandoval ultimately exsanguinated themselves in an attempt to continue the composition written of On Mount Golgotha.
==Biography==
===Recovery of SCP-012===
Agent Leon Spitzer and his partner, Agent Roger Anderson, deployed to Florence, Italy as Mud Angels under the cover of the 1966 flood of the Arno. Their goal was to recover a copy of SCP-701 located in Florence. They shared a room in a Florentine's home with K. M. Sandoval, a civilian archaeologist eager to help recover the priceless artifacts damaged by the Arno. Spitzer and Anderson informed Sandoval that they were going to clear out the National Central Library of Florence, though they offered to help with Santa Croce when they could.
After Sandoval returned to the room the next night, Spitzer and Anderson were discussing new methods on how to properly clean some quarto that was damaged by the mud, as well as the mud from texts. This angered Sandoval, who left to clear his head. Anderson and Spitzer made several rows of tomes inside an upper room at the Library, using it to dry the contents sufficiently. The next day, they showed Sandoval, who placed a few documents and a vellum paper he recovered the previous night at the Santa Croce.
Over the next few days, Spitzer and Sandoval both became affected by the cognitohazardous effects of the vellum. Spitzer accidentally set the vellum room on fire after attempting to use cleaning material to create a torch. He assured Sandoval that Sul Gulgota was unharmed. 
After Spitzer cut his wrist and attempted to finish Sul Golgota, the composition written on the vellum, Anderson bound him to a bed with a chain and locked the vellum room. After attempting to give Spitzer pills, which were rejected, he rushed out of the room out of frustration of the phone service still being down and left the cuff keys behind.The Journal of K. M.

===Death===
Sandoval quickly freed Spitzer, to which Spitzer used martial arts to keep Sandoval out of the vellum room. That night, Spitzer died from exsanguination, having sliced his wrists open in order to use his own blood as ink.
