Item #: SCP-7500
Object Class: Neutralized
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7500 is buried in the Caheragh Old Cemetery.
Description: SCP-7500 was Donovan Hanlan, an Australian male of Irish heritage with the ability to subconsciously manipulate probability. Whenever SCP-7500 was in a situation with multiple possible outcomes, the outcome that SCP-7500 would deem to be the best option occurred. Due to this effect, SCP-7500's health did not degrade during its time in Foundation custody.
The plaid vest SCP-7500 wore at all times had a four-leafed clover pinned to it. This is suspected to be the source of its powers, although it shows no anomalous properties when utilized by anyone other than SCP-7500. During its containment, SCP-7500 refused all requests to remove the jacket.
Addendum 7500.1 — Associated Phenomena:
After records of the same individual dating back to 1754 were discovered, Foundation agents were dispatched to record SCP-7500's daily life to check for any abnormal incidents.

Date: 02/28/2003
Location: Tullamarine Airport

[SCP-7500 and its husband enter the airport.]
Oliver: I know you're confident in your… abilities, but I still think we should have booked our tickets.[Both approach the desk.]
Receptionist: Hello, are you wanting to check in your baggage today?
Oliver: Actually, we're hoping to book our flight with you.
Receptionist: And where is it you'll be traveling?
Oliver: Cork International Airport.
Receptionist: You seem to be in luck! There are just two tickets left for a direct flight from MEL to ORK.
Oliver: We'll take them!
Due to the sudden emergence of a storm, Foundation agents confirmed SCP-7500's anomalous abilities and were able to apprehend it before it boarded its flight.

Addendum 7500.2 — Interview Logs:
The following is an excerpt from SCP-7500's weekly therapy sessions.

Dr. Summers: Good evening, Donovan.4 How has your day been so far?Dr. Summers: Now, it's been a while since we talked about the day you were… the day you arrived here. I'm correct in thinking you were headed to Ireland to visit your descendants?Dr. Summers: Don, did you cause that storm?Dr. Summers: Don, did you want to go to your homeland?

The following interview was conducted four years after initial containment, ten minutes before the cessation of SCP-7500's anomalous properties.
Dr. Kelp: Any time, Donovan.Dr. Kelp: I can't say that I have, no.Dr. Kelp: I'm 56.Dr. Kelp: I'm sorry Don, but you know we can't do that. You're an anomaly. Anomalies don't really… leave this place.Dr. Kelp: In all likelihood, but I don't see why that's relevant.[SCP-7500 stood up, leaving its jacket hanging on the chair. The interview concluded, and SCP-7500 returned to its chamber without incident; the jacket was placed in temporary storage until required again.]

The following day, tests performed on SCP-7500 determined its anomalous properties to be neutralized. Due to its cooperative nature, and the rapid decay of its body due to the cessation of anomalous intervention, SCP-7500 was allowed to leave containment with Foundation escort.
SCP-7500 flew to Ireland and reunited with its 7th-great-grandchildren.5 Two days after this, it expired. Its husband Oliver buried it alongside all previous generations of the Hanlan family in the Caheragh Old Cemetery with the clover from its jacket planted over its grave.
