The Cybernetic Corpseman is a Foundation-made entity that served with an Anti-Anomaly Unit before defecting to the Court of Skulls.

A large portion of information regarding the Corpseman prior to defection has been redacted.

## Backstory

### Life Prior to SSK

Volya ██████████████ was a convicted eco-terrorist from ███████, Russia that was sentenced to the D-class program run by the Foundation. At Site Facility ████-██ the subject would take on the designation D-█████, and would become one of many chosen to be tested on for new Thaumaturgic Enhancements created by Dr. ████████.

The enhancements were designed as a deterrent against the greater threats to the Foundation, and as a by-product the process of applying said enhancements to a human subject would most likely end catastrophic to the subject.

However, D-█████ would manage to survive the first set of their enhancements, obtaining powerful arms that held the strength to disrupt large threats. With how successful the first enhancement had gone, Dr. ████████ saw it fit to run another experimental enhancement, now replacing D-█████'s legs with new robotic limbs.

Again, D-█████ would survive the experimentation. Testing of the enhancements would reveal that D-█████ had the consistent capabilities of instantaneous Subsonic travel, reaching max speeds of 169 Meters per Second. Prompted once more, Dr. ████████ would run a final experimentation on D-█████, this time enhancing the visual capabilities of the subject.

For the third time, again, D-█████ would survive the enhancement to much surprise. On top of the immense strength and speed, D-█████ had obtained passive vision much like one would see in a spy movie, gaining the ability to see through thin objects such as walls.

After completing their transformation, D-█████ would be placed into an Anti-Anomalous Unit to be sent out against powerful entities without their knowledge.

### Anomalous Event; Designation: "Cybernetic Chemistry"

It was a rigged mission from the beginning. Within D-█████'s eye would be a live feed directly to Site Facility ████-██.

The Foundation had sent D-█████ as a means to limit-test their new technology. Much to their dismay, D-█████ would use their cunning to progress further than the Foundation had ever planned them reach.

Immediately upon their arrival, the Unit would be blitz by several skeletal figures that would easily overcome the less enhanced individuals of their team with the rest quickly being slain shortly thereafter. Within minutes D-█████ would be in their lonesome as entities surrounded them. Utilizing their great speed D-█████ would traverse the snow-covered forest before coming upon two figures that did not match the skeletons they had faced off against before.

D-█████ would refuse to make the first action, choosing to wait for the OpFor ahead of them to approach their position. A couple minutes would elapse before a figure would make their move towards D-█████. The figure, which has now been identified as The First Corpseman, would let D-█████ know of The Skeleton Sword King and ask for his cooperation. Knowing that their mission was to test their limits, D-█████ would disregard the request of the Corpseman, attacking them ruthlessly to no avail as the Corpseman would simply take no damage.

Humbled, and with no other way of survival, D-█████ would cooperate with the Corpseman, making audience with the Skeleton Sword King.

Dialogue is exchanged between the two, somehow causing D-█████ to divulge classified information, resulting in the scrubbing of audio to prevent data-leaks. Only one thing is heard at the end:

**SSK: *"I would ask for a sacrifice but it appears the Foundation has already taken everything from you.."***

Black Smoke is seen hazing over D-█████'s eye before the feed is cut off abruptly.

## Extra Info (Lore)

##### Observations

The Cybernetic Corspeman has been spotted frequently by Foundation equipment exiting the High-Threat Containment Zone that SSK has created. His appearance has changed radically, however he still seems to have his body enhancements that were installed previously.

It is speculated that The Cybernetic Corspeman acts as a sort of scout to the SSK, their enhanced sight and speed being a great tool for such missions, and his superhuman strength allows them to dispatch of any non-anomalous threat with minimal effort.

The speculation above has since been confirmed as the Cybernetic Corpseman has repeatedly managed to leave the HTCZ at a higher rate than each other Corpseman. The reasons for this though are still up for debate. Alongside this conclusion, the Corpseman has been seen with newer modifications on their former.

Reports from Espionage Unit Upsilon-9 ("Pitre Pipier") have specific modifications to the Cybernetic Corpseman's arms and legs. Most notably the mods to their legs have increased their speed significantly further into nigh-max subsonic speeds.

##### Espionage Event; Designation: "All Your Base"

On the 5th of January, ████, MTF Unit Alpha-776 ("Subterfugues") managed to get thaumaturgic observational devices (provided by SCP-████) into undisclosed areas of the SSK's castle and surrounding lands with the aide of SCPs ████ and ████. Each device holds their own anomalous capabilities that deny all sense of detection, or so it was perceived as such.

Three days after installation, Device 5A-1A was triggered by activity involving the Cybernetic Corpseman and an unknown civilian that had managed to enter the HTCZ. The footage and audio last a total of eight seconds, four of which are completely void of use due to the condition placed onto the device. In the footage, the civilian is seen wondering alone before they are suddenly obliterated, causing assumed chunks of flesh to coat the microphone and lens of the device.

On the same day, only a few hours later, device 5A-1E placed in the ████████ of the SSK's castle would trigger its live feed. Discretion is advised for the following.

The feed opens in a field of crops where a cottage is seen in the distance. Quickly, the position of the device rapidly changes as the feed suddenly ends up floating above another unknown civilian walking through the crop field. The subject is seen picking up a ███████ and bites into it, only to regurgitate what they had eaten. Within seconds the spacious area unveils itself to be a room filled with corpse parts as the fumes of the rotting flesh coat the lens of the device. A mechanical laugh can be heard as the feed displays sanguine liquids filling the room rapidly before another shift occurs, displaying the SSK's control over reality manipulation as the room returns to its assumed "original" state.

The civilian is then transported to another area by the Cybernetic Corpseman as the device follows directly behind them. From time to time the eyes of the Corpseman would look directly into the camera, as if to remind whoever viewed the footage that the Court had known of the devices since the start. After a few moments the Corpseman halts in front of a plain door, opening it to reveal a room of total darkness to which the civilian is then thrown into, the device following.

Within the next hour, all forty-five devices planted by the Subterfugues had gone offline, presumably destroyed singlehandedly by the Cybernetic Corpseman.
