Due to its non-hostile nature, SCP-7461 is allowed limited movement within designated areas of the site, provided it remains unarmed. Any interaction with SCP-7461 must be approved by at least one Level-4 researcher. No bladed weapons are to be brought within 100 meters of SCP-7461’s containment area under any circumstances.
In the event of a security breach or an existential threat to humanity, SCP-7461 may be deployed at the discretion of the O5-Council. SCP-7461 has been classified as Thaumiel due to it having the ability to counteract and contain high-level anomalous entities , including potential Apollyon-class threats and the fact that it expresses the desire to protect the foundation at all costs. The reason for this desire is not clear but it seems like it perceives the Foundation as an ally for defeating the Scarlet King.
Description:SCP-7461, referred to as "The Swordsman", is a humanoid male of unknown ethnicity and indeterminate age, appearing physically in his late 20s.
SCP-7461 is believed to have originated during the Biblical era, reaching an unparalleled level of swordsmanship that defies known physics. This mastery is speculated to have granted SCP-7461 functional immortality, preventing it from succumbing to aging, disease, or physical harm through conventional means.
When SCP-7461 comes into contact with any bladed weapon, it enters a meditative state, during which the weapon becomes an extension of its body in a manner akin to metaphysical unity. In this state, SCP-7461 demonstrates capabilities far beyond human limits, including: Cutting through any material, including reinforced alloys, energy fields, and even spatial dimensions.
Severing non-physical entities, including spectral beings and abstract concepts.
Combat proficiency exceeding any known martial art or strategic discipline.
Instantly perceiving the weaknesses of any opponent or structure.
SCP-7461's  eyes display a shifting pattern of cosmic formations, theorized to represent an infinite expanse of knowledge and foresight. Despite its immense power, SCP-7461 is highly disciplined, non-aggressive, and follows a strict ethical code and is suffering from PTSD for unknown reasons. It adheres to a vegan diet and refuses to kill unless deemed absolutely necessary. SCP-7461 displays particular hostility toward the Scarlet King, whom it claims to be its natural adversary.
Addendum 7461-1: (Excerpt from Interview Log XXXX-7) • • • • Dr. ███: "You claim to have fought the Scarlet King before. What do you remember?" SCP-7461:  "I remember the screams of the dying, the sky painted red with sorrow. I remember standing alone against a tide of darkness… And yet, I still stood." Dr. ███: "Why do you oppose him?" SCP-7461: "Because I must." Addendum 7461-2:( Incident Report) On ██/██/████, during a containment breach involving SCP-682, SCP-7461 was permitted to engage the entity in combat and was provided a Katana. SCP-7461 bisected SCP-682 in a single stroke and neutralized it. further research ongoing.
Addendum 7461-3: (Excerpt from the Scriptures Concealed from the public) And lo, in the days of great tribulation, when the earth was made desolate by the Beast of Many Names, there rose a youth, unshorn and clad in sackcloth, whose eyes beheld the ruin of his house and the fall of his kin.
And the Lord spake unto him, saying: ‘Thou art forged in sorrow, yet stand ye unbroken.
Take up thy blade, for the darkness stirreth, and the blood of the righteous cries out from the dust.’ And the youth did cleave unto the sword, and his hands were made strong by the fire of affliction. Upon the field of wailing he stood, and before him lay the hosts of the Red Tyrant, whose tongues dripped with blasphemy and whose shadows consumed the light.
Then did the youth smite them, yet the Red Tyrant was not undone, for the hand of man alone may not unseat the Thrones of the Abyss. And he lifted up his voice, saying: ‘Wherefore dost Thou burden me thus? Have I not given all that was mine?’ But the Heavens were silent, and the youth was alone among the slain. And he wept, for though his blade had felled legions, the night endured, and his strength was as that of a candle before the storm. And in his heart was kindled the knowing that the path before him was long, and his trials unended, for power alone was not yet his to claim.
Thus, he turned from the field, his steps heavy with grief, and the weight of what was yet to come lay upon him like the yoke of the burdened.
Further research into SCP-7464's origins and potential connections to anomalous mythologies is ongoing.
