SSK is regarded as a lesson to Sites across the Foundation, a lesson of humility and fear.

SSK is the reason that Sömmerset, Sweden no longer exists, and is the same reason that all facilities within a 10-mile radius have since been deactivated.

On April 7th, 1983 SSK tripped an anomalous sensor within the city of Sömmerset, a coastal harbor city in Sweden. Due to an as of this time unknown malfunction, the sensor reported the subject as a Minimal Threat, usually attributed to anomalous objects in their signature. In response, a singular MTF Unit Alpha-22 ("Smörgåsen", KIA) was sent to the city, only to find that on their arrival **the entire population had been decapitated.** Frantically, Unit Alpha-22 called an SOS, but were too late in their efforts.

Within the next half hour, nearby Site Facility 211 would be destroyed by the singular entity. Alongside its destruction, multiple SCPs would breach containment, causing more incidents to break out along the Swedish Coastline. Escaped SCPs consisted of SCP-3199, SCP-173, and SCP-053.

The following is a transcript of a transmission that was received across all Foundation Sites within a 100 mile radius from where the city of Sömmerset once stood, sent 30 minutes after SSK began his rampage. It is believed that it was transmitted via the radio of a slain soldier from MTF Unit Alpha-22:

> ***"Hello Royals of the Monarchy. I, The Skeleton Sword King, have conquered London, which rightfully belonged to me. Do not send any Knights or Peasants to recapture your beloved land, your efforts will prove futile."***
> - Sent April 7th, 1983
>
>

As of November 21st, 1983 all remaining Foundation Personnel have evacuated the surrounding area, which has now been labeled as a **High-Threat Containment Zone** due to a Spacial-Reality Warping Anomaly that has appeared in the area, believed to be the base of operations for the SSK.

## Extra Info (Lore)

It is speculated that SSK is the revived soul of King Richard III, who fell in battle against another Royal House who has since taken the throne of England.

In 2012, SSK breached the HTCZ, eviscerating the two nearby cities of ██████ and ██████████, effectively doubling the size of the HTCZ. This event has since been classified as "The Expansion". Recent surveillance suggests that SSK is slowly heading in the direction of ███. It is imperative that the Foundation finds a way to contain, terminate, or otherwise slow down the expansion of SSK's "zone", as if it reaches the city of ███, the resulting massacre will make cover-up a rather highly arduous task.

There are currently three "Corpsemen" that have been spotted within the HTCZ, all in the loyal service to SSK, they are identified as followed:

* The First Corpseman
* The Cybernetic Corpseman
* The Demonic Corpseman

All "Corpsemen" are to be considered as equal/greater threats than SSK.
