**Lawrence**, also known as **SCP-106** or the **Old Man**, and formerly known as **Corporal Lawrence**, is a keter-class SCP being kept within the SCP Facility. He initially acts as a friend to DeadSkullable, guiding him through the Facility which he is quite familiar with and introducing him to the other SCPs.

However, he is shown to have questionable motivations, possibly not being entirely as he appears and hiding something from the audience.

## History

Lawrence fought in the first World War, known by other soldiers to be highly unspectacular in his appearance and behaviour. Coming off as a bland person that kept to them self, not telling anything to any of the other soldier who didn't know anything about him. At some point during the war, Lawrence would end up battling against Emek, who served under the Ottoman Empire, and Lawrence would be the one that would end up killing Emek.

Not much is currently confirmed about his backstory, however, it can be presumed to be almost exactly the same as the 'Corporal Lawrence' backstory mentioned previously, as this is the one given on his DeviantArt page.

## The Asylum

### Episode 4: Condemned for Sinners

#### (Part 2)

Lawrence enters the Exam Room where he finds Ro-Man and Mike fighting against each other. They stop when they see Lawrence, who tells them both to get out, threatening to do something bad if they don't. Once they leave, he goes over to DeadSkullable, who is bloodied and beaten, and asks if he is okay. DeadSkullable says that he is fine and refers to Lawrence as 'Trollface Guy'. This makes Lawrence laugh, and he tells DeadSkullable that the Trollface Guy is actually SCP-087 J, and he is SCP-106.

Sheridan Coakley then enters the room and Lawrence tells him what happened, explaining that DeadSkullable was attacked. Sheridan asks who it was and suggests that Lawrence may have attacked him, however Lawrence affirms that this is not the case and the attackers have long since left after DeadSkullable scared them away. He then holds out his hand to DeadSkullable winking, implying that he is on his side. DeadSkullable confirms Lawrences story before giving more details of his own.

After DeadSkullable talks with Sheridan. Lawrence tells DeadSkullable that he'll meet him in the cafeteria later on. As he is about to leave, DeadSkullable stops him, thanking him for his help before asking for his name. Lawrence tells and gives his name in an ominous fashion before leaving.

#### (Part 4) 1/3

When DeadSkullable asks Mal0 and Ferdinand how to get out of the facility, Lawrence steps in and tells him that he can't. DeadSkullable says that Lawrence wasn't in the lunch room where he said he'd meet him, and Lawrence tells him that he was busy with something and he wanted to introduce him to somebody. He then brings out Jeffy, who is SCP-087 J/The Trollface. However, as soon as Jeffy speaks, Lawrence punches him in the face before angrily yelling at him to shut up. He then takes a deep breath to compose himself before continuing to talk to DeadSkullable, telling him to steer clear of Jeffy as he can ruin lives.

Lawrence goes on to explain who Jeffy is and how he ended up in the facility. When questioned why he punched him, Lawrence states that Jeffy makes everyone depressed. Jeffy then gets up and asks why, to which Lawrence pulls out a crowbar and proceeds to violently beat Jeffy with it, causing blood to splatter all over himself and everyone else. Lawrence assures DeadSkullable that Jeffy will be fine, since he does this to him all the time. He then asks if anyone wants bagels, which leads into them heading to the cafeteria.

Lawrence sits next to DeadSkullable in the cafeteria. Lawrence notices Barry passing by and calls out to him, introducing him to DeadSkullable, the first 6,000 SCP file and the son of the devil. Lawrence introduces Barry as being from Pakistan, however Barry takes offense to this and Lawrence corrects himself, saying that he's actually from Arabia. DeadSkullable asks why Barry is saying the names of various fruits and Lawrence explains that Barry speaks in a fruit based language. Barry then asks (in his own language translated by Lawrence) about DeadSkullables black eye, to which Lawrence tells Orange to fix his black eye.

Orange spits some slime into DeadSkullables eye which causes him a great deal of pain. Lawrence tells him that it's okay and DeadSkullable doesn't believe him until he uncovers his eyes and finds that his black eye has healed. DeadSkullable thanks Lawrence for his help. They are then approached by Terri and Emek. Terri introduces Emek to DeadSkullable and brings up the fact that he fought with Lawrence during the second World War, and this makes Lawrence become upset. Lawrence explains his side of the story and Terri remarks that perhaps someday, Lawrence and Emek may fight in the potential third World War.

Once they both leave, Lawrence expresses how much he hates Emek before taking a breath and going back to his regular state, saying that WW2 was just 'a dumb battle war' as a way of undermining himself.

#### 3/3

Lawrence frees DeadSkullable from the interrogation room alongside Orange just as he was having his soul sucked out by Zhang Wei. After DeadSkullable is healed, Lawrence leads him to a hole hidden behind a poster where Barry greets them. They go through the hole and enter the hideout for the resistance which Lawrence explains to DeadSkullable who witnesses an argument between Kitsune and SCP-5091, which results in Gorefields lasagne getting knocked over. Lawrence explains who Gorefield is and warns DeadSkullable not to take his food away. He then shows DeadSkullable to Methuselah who he dubs as 'The All-Mighty'.

Later on, Lawrence is present during the planning process and Methuselah tells DeadSkullable that Lawrence informed the resistance of his arrival, which allowed them to prepare. When Methuselah and DeadSkullable leave, Lawrence has a conversation with Ferdinand, Barry, Mal0 and Titch about their doubts that DeadSkullable will help them. Lawrence trusts that DeadSkullable will help them and that they'll soon be free from the SCP Facility. Lawrence then ominously comments that 'new salvation is at hand'.

### Episode 5: Solemn Hours

#### Part 1

Lawrence stares at himself in the mirror, wearing new clothing and talking to himself as well as someone named 'Nancy'. He talks about how he smiles every day and the people he once knew now look down at him and how happy he is. He mentions that Nancy died from cancer and left him to rot, how she thought he was mentally ill and she believes he is a bad person. He also mentions how much of a fool DeadSkullable is and how he may deserve to die because he likely won't help them escape from the SCP Facility. Barry and Orange then enter his tent and Lawrence asks Orange if he managed to free SCP-096, to which Orange nods.

He also asks for Barry to keep quiet as he might alert someone named 'Jane' who apparently dislikes loud noise. He then asks Barry if he managed to convince everyone to help break free and he discovers that only DeadSkullable hasn't made the choice to help. Barry asks Lawrence to talk to him about it and Lawrence agrees. He also ominously states that he will be nice to him for the time being.

Later on, Lawrence visits DeadSkullable as he is training with Kitsune and asks about his decision to help. DeadSkullable says that he has decided to help which shocks Lawrence, as he didn't expect him to do so. Lawrence tells him that he made the right choice and asks if Methuselah knows of his decision, DeadSkullable says that he does and that he's been training with Kitsune as a result. Lawrence then says goodbye and says that he will see him in a few hours.
