Lifebringer (SCP-8696)

## Basic Info

SCP-8696 "Lifebringer" was one of the few known entities that could revive the dead, and managed to revive one of the most unique individuals The Foundation has seen, Praegrandis "The Mountain".

## Backstory

SCP-8696 was an entity discovered in ███████ by MTF-353 "Soulkeepers" after rumors of confirmed dead coming back to life arose. They quickly discovered the entity due to it's low intelligence, but struggled to capture it for a short time due to it's fast speed and resilient personality that made it struggle until capture. Once captured, however, SCP-8696 was very docile and friendly, as reported by the researchers in Site ████-██.

The first instance of it using it's ability successfully was on 02/25/20██, where it revived Praegrandis, The Mountain. The researchers knew of Praegrandis as the unique individual had very high physical and mental capabilities, but they were completely immobile and needed help to move anywhere.

Soon after this event SCP-106 "The Old Man" broke free of containment due to the incompetence of it's senior researcher, Dr. ███████, who has since been neutralized. SCP-8696 and Praegrandis had become very good friends during the containment breach, and they soon went out to explore after their containment cell door opened. Praegrandis had been given a special wheel chair by the researchers of SCP-8696 so the individual can be pushed around with relative ease, which is how Praegrandis was able to explore the facility with SCP-8696.

They didn't get to explore for long before running into the SCP that caused the breach, SCP-106, who was in "combat" with SCP-2800 "Cactus Man". SCP-2800 was quite obviously outmatched, and so SCP-8696 and Praegrandis interfered. They managed to just barely survive against SCP-106, as Praegrandis utilized their strength to keep themselves and SCP-8696 from falling into SCP-106's pocket dimension. SCP-106 got bored of the encounter, however, and went looking for easier prey.

The Femur Breaker was utilized not long after their encounter, returning SCP-106 to it's cell. SCP-8696 and Praegrandis have since been put into a containment cell together in Site ████-██, and while not considered thaumiel-class entities, they are considered friendly.

## Extra Info (Lore)

SCP-8696 gave The Foundation insight into how revival abilities might work, and provide evidence towards the existence of "souls" or something similar in nature. It is theorized that the ability of SCP-8696 isn't so much "reviving" as it is creating a physical carrier similar to the souls original carrier that it has a high affinity with.

## Neutralization

On ██/██/20██, Breach Event A784 occurred, during which recently assigned Site Guardian, now known as "The Sleeper Agent", broke into SCP-8696's cell. Camera footage of the event shows Praegrandis attempted to defend SCP-8696 from the defector, but was quickly tossed aside by the latter, and his arm brutally amputated. SCP-8696 stands frozen in shock, and before he could even let out a plea, he is sent barrelling through several of Site ████-██ walls by a punch from the Site Guardian, his mangled corpse ultimately ending up in SCP-███'s cell.

It is currently unknown what reason the former Site Guardian had to go after SCP-8696, as he had been showing good behavior before the event, and had no known prior interactions with SCP-8696 or his cellmate.
