The First Corpseman

████████ Abelsson (Colloquially known as "The First Corpseman") was a once promising student-athlete at ██████ Universitet, Sweden, who has since become an extremely dangerous anomalous entity with beyond-human fighting capability.

They currently exist within the Spacial-Reality Warping Anomaly, where Foundation Site-211 once stood, as a subordinate of The Skeleton Sword King.

## Backstory

##### Life Prior to SSK

Since his early childhood, Abelsson was regarded a genius in nearly all academic strides, giving way for his impoverished family to "rise-from-the-gutters" of rural Sweden. Pursued by many academic institutions, Abelsson would receive very lavish offers to ensure his commitment. Within time, Abelsson would commit to ██████ Universitet in ██████, Sweden, where Abelsson eventually kept residency. While attending ██████ Universitet, Abelsson would pursue athletics alongside his academic path, becoming the universities top sprinter for Track based events.

Normal life would cease for Abelsson during his 3rd year of university.

##### Anomalous Event; Designation: "The First"

During a trip to a track and field event, Abelsson's charter bus would be attacked by multiple anomalous entities that had suddenly appeared on the roadway. The entities, later identified as skeletal foot-soldiers, would storm the vehicle with intent to slaughter all those on board. Quickly thinking, Abelsson would dislodge the emergency latch on a nearby window, escaping into the nearby woods. Fueled by adrenaline, Abelsson would traverse the forest, unknowingly entering the HTCZ. He would avoid encounters with multiple dangerous entities which would all be documented on his mobile device which he had fixed to his chest. Unfortunately, Abelsson's luck would not stick with him for long, as he would find himself in the presence of The Skeleton Sword King only moments later.

However, the Skeleton Sword King would find Abelsson's survival amusing, as he had expected no one to survive his expedition. SSK, in his self-proclaimed mercy, would offer a challenge to Abelsson one that meant his life or death. With no other choice Abelsson would accept the challenge, somehow gathering the courage to fight the menacing entity before him. Within the salvaged footage, Abelsson could be seen providing a supreme defense against SSK, managing to avoid most of his attacks and even landing a few of his own. Despite all this, Abelsson would have the fatal flaw of weak power, bringing about his later defeat; Yet the King would remain amused.

Abelsson would be offered another choice, one only gained by his persistence in battle: A gift to join the Skeleton Sword King. Again, Abelsson would accept, only to find out seconds later that his choice would come with sacrifice. In order to gain the King's gift, Abelsson would be forced to dislodge and amputate his own foot, trading his natural gift for one of the super-natural.

It is there where footage is halted.

## Extra Info (Lore)

Abelsson has since been seen leading multiple charges at the border of the HTCZ, as a commander of multiple undead legions. Only with the help of multiple Thaumiel-class entities has he been kept inside the containment zone. Dr. Wild Card has since advised that the Thaumiels are not enough as Abelsson will outsmart them "... at some point in time."

##### Audio 1;

***"I am the First Corpseman, under his majesty's grace, I will tear down your walls."*** (Addendum 1, re-classification: The First Corpseman)

##### Addendum 2; Modern Taunting(?)

On ██, ██, ████ the Foundation received a SanDisk™ USB Flash Drive delivered by a Skeletal Pigeon (which deteriorated instantly upon arrival). Contained on the USB would be an .mp4 video file titled "for\_the\_english\_bastards". Upon opening and watching the file, Foundation Researchers within the SRWA would bear witness to a Poker match between The Skeleton Sword King, The Cybernetic Corpseman, and the First Corpseman himself. The match itself would last 01:36:22 (H:M:S) before cutting abruptly to a toast by the King to the two seated Corpsemen commemorating a Richardian feast. The toast, though short, goes as follows:

***"I am glad to have found subordinates who understand strength and fealty, truly you are my greatest friends." - Skeleton Sword King (to The Corpsemen)***

The video goes on for another two hours before cutting off entirely.

HTCZ Researchers have been left dumbfounded by the video, even Dr. Wild Card was heard saying ***"... what the ████."***

##### Addendum 3; HTCZ-1

In the months following the video, the First Corpseman has breached the containment zone twice without triggering the effects of (Thaumiels) SCP-████, SCP-████, and SCP-████. Dr. Wild Card was correct in his assumption but had not realized how quickly the Corpseman would be able to overcome their sensory defenses. The motives of the SSK and the Corpseman are unpredictable. Dr. Wild Card has tried to decipher the purposes of leveling hills, destroying a village without claiming the land, and stealing exotic reptiles which he still cannot understand even with his crazed genius.

It has been noted that the Corpseman now dawns new ornate armor pieces. Dr. Wild Card has suggested them to be the reason the Foundations sensors failed to detect his absence.
