Siren

**Siren** is a major character in the Averno series. She was formerly one of the Operator's proxies who currently possesses Skye Martin.

## Biography

Not much is currently known about Siren's past before she became one of the Operator's active proxies. Sometime after the West Point incident, she possessed Skye Martin after the Operator abducted the latter.

A year later, Siren defected from the Operator and, alongside fellow proxy and Skye's childhood friend Toby Rogers, escaped from the Operator's realm. Though freed from the entity's control, the shock rendered Skye catatonic, leaving Siren still in control of their shared body as she takes both herself and Toby to a nearby hospital. When Eyeless Jack found his friends, Siren mistakenly believed he intended to harm them and briefly fought him, until she recognized him from Skye's memories and agreed to a truce. Still guilty over her actions as a proxy, Siren remained largely dormant since, thus rendering the body immobile for long periods of time. She briefly took control again when SCP Foundation found their safehouse, and despite some resistance, was unable to prevent them from containing Skye and Toby.

While in containment, Siren attempted to escape several times, but was unsuccessful when the Foundation discovered her weakness to lead and relocated her to a lead-based containment cell. She was also subjected to electroconvulsive therapy, which eventually brought Skye out of her catatonic state; Siren willingly returned to full dormancy afterward, allowing Skye to assume full primary control of their body from then on.

In 2017, the Operator, then later HABIT, abducted Skye and Toby, separating and placing them in the Ark; Siren woke up in Skye's body, apparently forced out of dormancy while Skye fell dormant instead. She reunited with the deceased Tim Wright, who briefly mistook her for Skye before offering her help to escape the realm. They eventually reached a temporary safehouse that the former Marble Hornets crew had set up, where she learned that HABIT had been hunting the group for reasons unknown. Siren was then privately confronted by Brian, who had deduced she was a former proxy, though she assured him she was no longer working for the entity, and had since been primarily concerned with Skye's survival.

## Personality

Siren is stubborn, independent, and very protective over her human host. According to her SCP file, though she was hostile towards Foundation personnel, she was notably formal and professional throughout her interviews, and is significantly more mature than her human counterpart. She also speaks very curtly and directly, with a tendency to be brutally honest. It is implied that since she defected from the Operator, she appears to be rather naïve about human nature, especially empathy and relationships. She also tends to force herself to be more outwardly expressive and act more human-like, especially when masquerading as Skye.

## Physical Appearance

While possessing Skye, Siren appears physically identical to her host. However, Jack notes that Siren has a distinctly stronger smell of rust and cigarette smoke emanating from her whenever she is active, allowing him to easily discern between her and Skye.

## Powers and Abilities

**Radiation Manipulation**: As a former proxy, Siren emits a unique type of radiation called sigma radiation that distorts nearby electronic devices, and can be used to induce radiation sickness unto people around her. She also possesses radiation-based spatial manipulation similar to her former master's, including teleportation and, potentially, time travel. She attempted to teleport herself and Toby to escape the SCP containment site, but was re-contained in a lead-based containment cell, which inhibited the extent of her powers. These powers are also ineffective in the Ark, as Siren is unable to teleport while trapped in the realm.

## Possessions

* **Pocket knife**: Siren subtly influenced Skye to carry a pocket knife with them at all times. It was confiscated when Skye was taken into police custody.

## Relationships

### Skye Martin

Skye is Siren's vessel and host. Siren is very protective of her, stating that Skye is her "person" and that she now only "(works) for Skye" which includes protecting her as well as the people she cares about. Siren is also very grateful towards her, as it was implied that the latter had something to do with freeing them from the Operator's control, and is extremely remorseful as she believed she had done nothing but ruin Skye's life in return.

### Eyeless Jack

Jack is Siren's ally and former enemy. They first met when she was still working for the Operator, and were thus antagonistic towards each other. After she defected, she maintained her belief that Jack intended to harm them when he found her and Toby at the hospital and fought him, only ceasing when she sensed Skye's distress and recognized him from the latter's memories. They have since formed a truce, leading to a still-uneasy relationship in present day, though she expresses some regret for her previous hostility towards him in the past.

### Tim Wright

Tim is Siren's ally. He was aware that she was a former proxy for the Operator, but the pair have since held a mutual sense of trust and respect towards each other, as they have both shown concern for each other's well-being.

### The Operator

The Operator is Siren's former master. She felt extreme regret and disgust for having previously served the Operator in the past, and was ostensibly offended when Brian Thomas suggested that she was still working for the entity.
