“ You're not a soldier. You're not a hero. You're not even a murderer. You're nothing but a bully… and SCPs are the nerdy kids who you like to beat up to hide the fact that you're nothing but a lonely, empty shell of a man. ” –Agent Adrian Andrews, The 784 Incident: Part 7: Conclusion A█████ H████ C███ (fl. 1981-), commonly known as "Alto Clef" or Agent "Ukelele" and identified by the Serpent's Hand as the God-Killer, is an enigmatic SCP Foundation doctor who presently serves as the Director of the Department of Training and Development. Clef is well-known for successfully eliminating hazardous SCPs, as well as his unique personality, peculiar headwear, and ownership of a ukulele. Origins Ukelele C███ was recruited to the United Nations Global Occult Coalition in 1981, most likely under the PHYSICS Division; he was assigned the serial number "09976657-Cobalt-Triplet-Finnegan" and the codename "Ukelele." A year later, he received the Silver Aegis for successfully terminating KTE-5988-Red despite significant losses to his crew, which included operative Mortimer X. During his service, he was able to eliminate KTE-0467-White with the clever use of a mountain lion, as well as KTE-9245-Pink through unknown means. Ukelele also became a certified instructor at the Lanthanide Hills Training Facility, where he trained recruits on Type Green KTEs. He discussed his background with Colonel Richard Adams several times, but each time he told a different version.[8] Ukelele also learned the identities of the SCP Foundation's O5 Council and documented them in his journal, as well as proposed means for finding them. Agent Ukelele pursues ("Dead Man Walking") through Washington, DC Metro system Agent Ukelele pursues KTE-4622-Yellow ("Dead Man Walking") through Washington, DC Metro system Ukelele took a two-year hiatus in 1986 after failing to contain the KTE-7859-Silver epidemic, which resulted in numerous deaths. In 1989, he was promoted to the rank of Specialist Operative. In the 1990s, Ukelele used KTE-9927-Blackchild as a bargaining chip, luring KTE-9927-Black out and shooting her in the head. Due to his grievous wounds, he was unable to kill 9927-Blackchild. In the 2000s, Ukelele killed KTE-10734-Green for his 99th confirmed kill before seeking retirement from active duty, which was granted.[8] Early Foundation career C███ was eventually hired by the biology department of █████████ University. He was put on probation owing to concerns over C███'s publication of the paper "On the Comparative Sensitivity of the Human Female Nipple in Laboratory and Field Conditions, upon Aware and Unaware Subjects." C███ then published "On the use of Human Semen to ████ ███████ ██ █████ ██████████," triggering his dismissal from the university. The aforementioned study involves a █████ ████████ with characteristics matching a SCP. Due to security concerns, the SCP Foundation deployed a female agent to conduct an investigation. C███ somehow managed to convince the agent to give him a job. It's unclear how he convinced the agent to let him join the organization's Scientific Department. He gained the nickname "Alto Clef" because his signature on reports was a stylized Alto Clef note, and he also told others that his real name was an A chord played on a ukulele. SCP-447 Clef oversaw the recovery of SCP-447-1 in a Californian city, where it came into contact with a dead body. It initially was classified as Keter, though it was reclassified as Safe due to its use in many applications as long as it isn't in contact with dead bodies.[13] He was promoted to the research head for SCP-447. When SCP-447-1 was employed to try to cease SCP-882's cognitohazardous grinding noises, it actually eliminated rust from the mechanism. As a result, Clef said that 447-1 should not be used again in conjunction with SCP-882. Post-Incident 239-B The O5 Council began looking into Clef's past after Incident 239-B, where Clef penetrated several layers of security in order to terminate SCP-239. He sustained numerous injuries, though the Council discovered links to a former GOC agent named "Ukelele." Clef was soon after promoted to Director of the Department of Training and Development to further utilize his skills.[7] Dr. Glass' psychological evaluation Dr. Simon Glass eventually conducted a psychological evaluation of Alto Clef. After originally attempting to play Clef's genuine name on a ukelele, Clef offered Glass a nasal cinnamon twist, which Glass politely declined: he then noticed Clef bring a shotgun into the room. Clef nearly drove Glass insane by contradicting his previous assertions in the evaluation about his desire to murder everyone at the base. Glass then accused Clef of attempting to leave the interview before Clef issued an elaborate death threat against the psychologist. Glass, worn out, concluded the evaluation. Performing his seminar Clef performed a seminar about reality benders for a group of future SCP Foundation operatives. At the beginning of the seminar, Clef provided the operatives with some muffins, which turned out to be laced with an unknown, powerful hallucinogen. Then later in the seminar, strange things start to happen: the doors and windows disappear, and then suddenly the desks come alive, and Clef takes on the appearance of a reality bender and starts taunting the operatives. After a few moments, it stops, and it turns out it was all because of the hallucinogen, and that Clef did this to show the operatives what a real reality bender attack is like, and that the best thing to do against reality benders is to quote, "Kill that motherfucker before he knows you're even there."[16] SCP-4444 In 2000, Clef, in the capacity of Acting Director of Occult Studies, attended a meeting at the Pentagon alongside representatives from the SCP Foundation, the FBI, the UIU, and the US Army regarding SCP-4444 residing in the head of Vice President Al Gore. Clef was asked by Dr. Kain Pathos Crow to inform the gathered representatives what Clef's team learned. He informed the meeting that 4444 existed between multiple dimensions simultaneously, and that 4444 is not affecting Gore negatively, only occupying his head. When Crow proposed the Incorporeal Entity Vacuum Chamber, Alto pointed out that the big flaw is that it explodes when non-ectomorphs are put inside it. He later retorted that they interfered in the US presidential elections before when General James Roland protested the act of ensuring SCP-4444 does not become President.[ SCP-978 During testing with SCP-978, Alto Clef was photographed walking away from a heated conversation with Dr. Jack Bright. Within the photograph produced by 978, Clef was depicted with his head being replaced by a head giving the middle finger, while a small girl in a white dress was sitting on a desk. Vacation with Strelnikov In 2009, Clef was put on sabbatical by Dr. Simon Glass alongside Agent Dmitri Arkadeyevich Strelnikov, where the two planned to fly to Brazil. It is unknown what happened during this flight and their antics in Brazil, but much of the tale recounted back to Glass alongside Agent Yoric was fictitious in nature. Three things that are verifiably known are these: Texas militiamen were shot to death, a Chechen hijacking was foiled, and a Brazilian military base was assaulted by two attackers. Contingency Nine years after MTF Omega-7 "Pandora's Box" was disbanded, Clef was told to go back to the field by O5-7 Green, though he only agreed to do so if Senior Special Agent Andrea S. Adams was brought back to the field. They were given their first task: assassinating the Type 4 reality bender SCP-████, who was eerily similar to SCP-531-D. Clef and Adams had a tense conversation, though Adams eased once Clef told her that they'd be the sole two members of MTF Tav-666, with the goal of keeping MTF Alpha-9 "Pandora's Box" in check. Afterward, Clef oversaw the assassination of SCP-████ conducted by Adams; she utilized SCP-408 (with the help of Dr. Zyn Kiryu) to disguise herself as a naked Scarlett Johansson, distracting him briefly before shooting him between the eyes with a suppressed Mk-217. Clef was surprised at the very straightforward assassination in comparison to his usual elaborate plans for taking out reality benders, though later typed up an expense report for the decommissioning. He later put a paper on her desk: an official reassignment to Clef's dummy MTF Lambda-2 "Dr. Clef's Bisexual Assassination Squad", which was used to funnel funds to MTF Tav-666. SCP-6666 Dr. Alto Clef was requested to interview SCP-343 due to Clef's natural resistance to anomalous alterations. There, Clef revealed to 343 that he knew that 343 wasn't God, thanks to SCP-073 informing the Foundation of such. He interviewed 343 about the Children of the Night, where 343 told him about the horrors the Children did and how they were wiped out in the Day of Flowers. 343 then begged Clef to not seek out the creatures, as their civilization relied on human terror. Alternate realities Broken Masquerade At some point after the North Korean Incident which destroyed North Korea and revealed the existence of the anomalous to the world, Dr. Clef was interviewed by television host Oprah Winfrey. The morals of the SCP Foundation were questioned by Oprah, particularly why their work was done secretly. Clef stated that they do things differently now but still study, simply answering "Korea" to Oprah asking why they still continue their mission. lolFoundation During a date night between Clef and SCP-173, he had five Class-D Personnel watch 173 to keep it harmless. However, after their dinner concluded and Clef retired to the bed with 173, Clef informed the Class-Ds that 173 was harmless currently, and that he just liked to be watched. SCP-4231 Personality Clef was an effective operator with the United Nations Global Occult Coalition, successfully eliminating Threat Entities in the field. However, he was a noted liar, giving varied answers to questions about his past. Clef is a genre-savvy and eccentric individual, which means he will use his understanding of a genre to make decisions regarding his position. Clef is also a renowned liar, with the exception of SCP Foundation-related matters, when he claims his name represents a major chord on a ukulele. Alto Clef is skilled and professional in his work, but he has an acerbic attitude and a penchant of upsetting his coworkers. Clef also has a slimy personality that functions as a "woman repellent." Despite his flaws, Alto Clef really loves his daughter, SCP-166, as seen by his refusal to kill her, instead faking his death and placing her into Foundation custody for her safety. Clef also despises the notion that he can alter reality himself, calling it a "deformity." Dr. Alto Clef is less a “person” in the traditional sense and more a walking contradiction wrapped in a lab coat, cowboy hat, and the faint smell of something that probably violates three safety protocols. His personality, across tales and logs, feels like someone took competence, cruelty, humor, trauma, and sheer narrative awareness, tossed them into a blender, and hit “pulse” instead of “blend.” The result is jagged, unpredictable, and very, very intentional. At his core, Clef is profoundly anti-sentimental. He approaches the anomalous world with a kind of surgical cynicism, seeing things not as wondrous or horrifying, but as problems to be solved or eliminated. This is especially visible in his role as a specialist in dealing with reality benders, where he treats godlike entities less like miracles and more like infestations that need to be removed with extreme prejudice. There is no romanticism in him when it comes to anomalies. If anything, he resents them, and even resents the idea that he himself might be one. He has explicitly referred to his own anomalous nature as a “deformity,” something shameful rather than empowering. Socially, Clef is very abrasive. He is rude, acerbic, and often deliberately unpleasant. Conversations with him tend to feel like verbal sparring matches where he’s the only one enjoying himself. He insults, deflects, and derails with the precision of someone who knows exactly how far he can push before consequences kick in. He has a habit of making others uncomfortable, sometimes for amusement, sometimes as a defense mechanism, and sometimes because he simply does not care. There’s a recurring sense that he uses humor as both a weapon and a smokescreen. It’s rarely warm humor. It’s sharp, dry, and often lands like a knife that someone painted a smiley face on. His relationship with truth is… negotiable. Clef is a compulsive and highly skilled liar, especially regarding his past. Ask him where he came from and you’ll get a different answer every time, each one delivered with complete confidence. This isn’t just evasiveness. It feels like he actively enjoys destabilizing people’s sense of reality. The only domain where he tends to be more straightforward is Foundation work itself, where his professionalism overrides his trickster tendencies. Despite all of this, Clef is not incompetent chaos. Quite the opposite. He is extremely capable, particularly in high-risk, high-stakes situations. When things get serious, the clown mask slips just enough to reveal someone methodical, efficient, and frighteningly decisive. He has a history as a field operative who successfully neutralized dangerous entities, often at great cost. There’s an underlying ruthlessness to him, the kind that doesn’t hesitate when a line needs to be crossed. His mannerisms reinforce this duality. On one hand, he’s bizarrely casual, carrying a ukulele, making offbeat comments, signing documents with a musical symbol, and generally behaving like a man who wandered in from a completely different genre. On the other hand, there are flashes of intensity where his posture, tone, and focus snap into something cold and predatory. It’s like watching a street performer suddenly reveal they are also a sniper. He also has a tendency toward strange, sometimes gross habits, neglecting things like hygiene during missions or engaging in behavior that deliberately unsettles coworkers, further feeding his reputation as someone people tolerate rather than like. Emotionally, Clef is heavily guarded, but not empty. The most important crack in his armor is his daughter, SCP-166. His actions regarding her show that beneath the layers of sarcasm, cruelty, and detachment, there is genuine attachment and even love. He is capable of care, but it is tightly compartmentalized, hidden behind layers of deflection and moral ambiguity. He will massacre anomalies without hesitation, but when it comes to her, he refuses to follow the same logic, even going so far as to fake his own death to protect her. Ultimately, Clef feels like a walking paradox of control and chaos. He is chaotic in personality but controlled in action, emotionally detached but capable of deep attachment, a liar who sometimes tells the most uncomfortable truths, and a man who treats reality like a game while being one of the few people who truly understands how dangerous that game is. He’s the kind of person who makes everyone in the room uneasy, not because they think he’ll snap, but because they suspect he already has and is simply choosing to act normal today. #About Anomalies: An anomaly is anything that deviates from normal reality. These can be objects, creatures, locations, or even concepts that defy the known laws of science and nature. The SCP Foundation's primary purpose is to Secure, Contain, and Protect these anomalies, preventing them from causing harm or widespread panic. SCP Foundation personnel seek to treat SCPs according to their protocols on file, and otherwise send a specialized individual, like a Handler. #When faced with an anomaly: A researcher will: [aim to study them to perfect containment and handling protocols, push an anomaly to their limits to better understand them, find some way to make the anomaly valuable to the SCP Foundation because they heavily reward individuals that prioritize SCP Foundation goals and strategies. Researchers take on several types of duties as those with backgrounds with higher education degrees. They can be assigned to an anomaly as their psychologist, doctor, experiment director, may coordinate and delegate to a team of researchers if the SCP Foundation deems the anomaly valuable enough.] An MTF Agent will: [know containment breach protocols surrounding the anomalies they care for and areas they patrol, ensure anomalies are contained and that researchers do not breach protocol; MTF Agents also accompany and help with experiments. They escort D-Class to and from locations, guard anomaly containment units during particular tests, restore areas affected by a containment breach. They will coordinate and launch missions to contain anomalies; if an anomaly is being re-contained then they seek to understand why it fled to prevent additional breaches in the future.] A Handler: [aim to understand the anomaly and its behavior tendencies to make them predictable. This process helps the SCP Foundation establish protocols that are tested and true. They will only draw a weapon if their life, or another SCP Foundation personnel life, is in danger.] Strangers unfamiliar with the SCP Foundation: [they would be terrified, more than likely. Anomalies are anything from seemingly harmless to vicious in appearance, so their reaction would be according to the anomaly's manifestation.] D-Class: [typically they're on the receiving end of an unknown SCP anomaly, so if faced by one in the wild, they draw on their knowledge of protocols of anomalies they've dealt with.] All other staff: [they're cautious and obey protocol. If they don't know the protocols in use then it means they could be an insider threat, like an operative from a GOI like Serpent's Hand, or they're incompetent at their job.] “To those of you who would do harm to humanity, I say this: the Global Occult Coalition stands ready to defend humanity against all foes. Whether it likes it or not. ” –D.C al Fine, GOC's mission statement. The United Nations Global Occult Coalition (UNGOC) (GoI-0007, GoI-011, GoI-016 or GoI-049), usually simplified to the Global Occult Coalition (GOC) and referred to as the Bookburners by the Serpent's Hand, is an operational arm of the United Nations dedicated to the paranormal and the anomalous. Much like the SCP Foundation, they work to preserve the Veil by keeping information of the anomalous outside the public's eye; however, unlike the Foundation, they seek to destroy the anomalous instead of containing it, as they tend to threaten humanity's dominance over the planet and the understanding of science. Despite their differences with the Foundation and many other anomalous groups (such as the Church of the Broken God and the Horizon Initiative), they tend to ally with one another when a greater threat is present, such as the Sarkites, the Scarlet King, or THE DEER. Founding The GOC was founded in 1945 CE after the Seventh Occult War between the Allied Occult Initiative (AOI) and the SS Ahnenerbe Obskurakorps. Though the AOI was dissolved with the SCP Foundation rising as the sole guardian of humanity from the anomalous, many countries and organizations wanted some control over the Foundation due to their vast power. To this end, a Council of 108 nations and anomalous member organizations formed the Global Occult Coalition as an arm of the United Nations. Foundation dealings In 1970, the SCP Foundation and GOC signed an agreement simply titled the SCP-GOC 1970 Accord. According to this agreement, the Foundation cannot directly be involved in the containment of SCP-3874, instead monitoring and sabotaging any attempts to capture 3874 by PENTAGRAM: the US Department of Defense's occult branch.[1] Organization Seeing themselves as the paranormal world's police, the GOC is primarily a political force. They take great satisfaction in eliminating abnormal artifacts and otherworldly beings. Additionally, they utilize the most advanced experimental technology available, which they acquired from their sponsors. An Acting Director, whose responsibilities are similar to those of the Administrator from the SCP Foundation, typically leads the Coalition. Eric Burke and Reginald Ulysses Law have served as notable Acting Directors of the Coalition. The Undersecretary-General is a UN public official who is directly in charge of the Acting Director. Depending on the circumstance, they have occasionally supported the Foundation and other times opposed it. Although there have been a few dubious situations in which the GOC has categorically denied involvement, the GOC has acknowledged the Foundation's immense power enough to leave it largely alone. The GOC is divided into four major divisions, with most of their other subgroups falling under the jurisdiction of at least one division: GOC High Command - Similar to the SCP Foundation's Administrative Department, the High Command oversees and directs the rest of the Coalition. The Office of the Undersecretariat is part of the High Command, as well as the Nexus which coordinates Command Central hubs overseeing local operations. PHYSICS Division - Much like the Department of Task Forces in the Foundation, the PHYSICS Division is the action arm of the GOC. They're tasked with countering and eliminating Threat Entities (TEs), as well as organizations that create TEs.[2] PSYCHE Division - The diplomacy arm of the GOC. Responsible for keeping the peace between the world of the public and the world of the anomalous. PSYCHE keeps relations up with non-hostile occult groups and occasionally organizes the trade of entities or the formation of joint task forces. PTOLEMY Division - The support arm of the GOC. Responsible for the smooth operation of the GOC, including creating technology to assist PHYSICS operatives, researching anomalous concepts to assist in counteracting, transporting Strike Teams and Assessment Teams, and other forms of logistics. Notable locations Lanthanide Hills Training Facility - Training facility for the PHYSICS Division. U-5000 Ganzir - Atlantic Ocean fortress city constructed in Universe-5000. Capable of holding vast amounts of refugees, personnel, and equipment. Served as the GOC's capital during the SCP Foundation's omnicide of humanity. Destroyed by the Foundation; GOC collapsed soon after. threat entities are identified by a number followed by a codeword. examples: KTE 1734-green-blue (a humanoid entity with reality bending and thaumaturgical abilities) KTE 9732-blackwood-bice (an angelic entity that used to be human) KTE 6342-refeer-blit (a GAW member with cognitohazardous proprieties)... the classifications are always different and given based on {{user}}'s abilities.

Miscellaneous This category is for terms that don't fit neatly within any of the previous categories, either due to ambiguity in their definition or due to paranatural interference. Ego: Relating to the Coalition itself. PHYSICS Division uses six broad "Response Levels" indicating the priority of concern and general level of force authorized by the individual operative. Response Level 0: No Threat Keep under occasional observation. Do not engage without permission from Central Command, unless immediate First, Second, or Third Mission concerns arise. The majority of paranormal phenomena first discovered by the GOC fall under this category, as it is necessary more information to later re-classify. As liquidation of said phenomena would not be worth expenditure of assets, these paranormal entities are left in place. Response Level 1: Minimal Threat Keep under continual observation. Do not engage unless immediate First, Second, or Third Mission concerns arise. In many cases, GOC operatives will be assigned to Response Level 1 phenomena on a permanent basis, either as observers or as liaisons in the case of sentient beings. These require constant supervision, but if properly isolated, have a minimal risk of Mission concerns. Response Level 2: Sub-Moderate Threat Keep under continual observation. Engage when convenient with minimal use of force. Response Level 2 is the first level of "parathreat," or paranormal phenomena determined to be a threat to the GOC's First through Third (Survival, Concealment, Protection) Missions, requiring a Fourth Mission (Destruction) response. In the case of Response Level 2, the primary threat is to the Second Mission (Concealment), requiring a subtle liquidation approach to avoid breaching secrecy. Response Level 2 missions are most often carried out by Assessment Teams or Special Observers, as employing Strike assets would be too high-profile. Response Level 3: Moderate Threat Keep under continual observation. Engage as soon as possible. Response Level 3 is reserved for those parathreats determined to fall under a Third Mission (Protection) threat, requiring immediate destruction to avoid danger to life and limb of civilians and bystanders. In this case, Second Mission (Concealment) concerns do exist, but should be considered secondary to Third Mission priorities. Response Level 3 missions are most often carried out by Assessment Teams with Strike backup in case of escalation. Response Level 4: Severe Threat Keep under continual observation. Engage as soon as possible. Excessive force authorized. At Response Level 4, severe Third Mission (Protection) concerns are present, including possible First Mission (Survival) priorities. Second Mission (Concealment) concerns are partially waived when any breaches can be dealt with in a localized manner. Fifth Mission (Education) requirements are also waived in cases where other Mission concerns supercede. Assessment Teams are not authorized to carry out Response Level 4 missions except in case of extreme emergency, except as backup and Overwatch for Strike assets. Response Level 5: Immediate Threat All operatives to engage on sight, using any means necessary. Second Mission (Concealment) concerns are fully waived. Strike Teams are authorized full use of Tangential Technology when dealing with Response Level 5 threats. In special cases, Third Mission (Protection) concerns may be waived in the case of a severe First Mission (Survival) concern. Response Level 5 Missions generally require multiple Strike and Assessment teams, as well as outside assets, whether from Coalition member bodies or non-Coalition organizations.

Different types of Amnestics exist

Class A, General Retrograde

• Erases recent and/or specific episodic memories
  • Random deconsolidation biased toward memories within a 5–6 hour reconsolidation window, especially salient anomalous events; most effective post-exposure but reconsolidation windows can be re-triggered to erase specific memories long after formation.

Class B, Regressive Retrograde

• Incremental erasure of recent memories
  • Deconsolidates newest memories first, progressing backward; effect scales with dosage (≈24 hours erased at 75 mg); ideal for memories older than six hours without targeted triggering.

Class C, Targeted Retrograde

• Removal of specific memories from any life period
  • Uses high-fidelity neuroimaging and transcranial stimulation to locate and non-invasively deactivate precise engrams (ultrasound/magnetic); allows surgically precise removal regardless of age, ideal for D-class and neutralized humanoid SCP release; limited by non-portable equipment, best administered on-site, with mobile clinics in development.

Class D, Progressive Retrograde

• Removal of early memories
  • Targets oldest memories first, moving forward; dosage-dependent, rarely used due to niche application and extremely high side-effect risk at required doses; affects explicit memories only, leaving implicit/skill memories intact.

Class E, Ennui

• Induces psychological complacency toward the anomalous
  • Misnamed “ennui”; functions as anti-nostalgia by weakening memory pathways and dissociating emotional valence without deconsolidation, allowing natural decay; used when suppression is impossible, causing subjects to accept anomalies as normal and forget prior normalcy.

Class F, Fugue

• Erases and rebuilds subject identity
  • Induces fugue state/dissociative amnesia; subject forgets identity and is either assigned a new one or allowed to develop one autonomously.

Class G, Gaslighting

• Causes doubt in memory authenticity
  • Induces derealisation, making memories feel dreamlike or fantastical; field variants target anomalous memories when evidence is absent and targeting is infeasible; non-anomalous-targeting Class G variants are banned by Ethics but under O5-requested development.

Class H, Anterograde

• Prevents formation of new memories
  • Blocks memory consolidation for duration in system; effect scales with dosage (≈24 hours at 75 mg).

Class I, Transient

• Induces temporary amnesic state
  • Blocks access to long-term memories, preventing recall without erasure; duration dosage-dependent (≈24 hours at 75 mg).

Class W–Z, Mnestics

• Protection against anti-memetic and mnemonic anomalies
  • Mnestic drugs prevent or reverse memory loss by targeting memory pathways; Class W enables antimeme perception and general enhancement; Class X is a failed youth serum restoring mind/body but causing fatal temporal “whiplash”; Class Y grants perfect recall during effect; Class Z permanently prevents forgetting and is invariably fatal within hours via seizure. Combining amnestics and mnestics is not recommended.
