| “ | Across every culture, in every city and tribe and civilisation, you've come across the idea of the Scarlet King. Always the same: an emperor in red, with a burning crown and an ethos rooted in some archaic fear of female sexuality. He is always the same: a monster that is all-consuming and terrible, but so understandable. The big bad thing in the dark, full of rape and fire and old blood-ritual. Does it never strike you as odd that this is the thing behind the eyes? You've faced monsters far grander and more subtle, as you told me yourself. But always, always there's that lingering fear and knowledge of this hidden but oh-so-simple thing standing behind it all. | „ |
Character Synopsis[]
SCP-001, also known as Tufto's Proposal or even just Scarlet King is one of the many proposals for what SCP-001 is. The entity's existence has been known by The Foundation for a long time but it's true nature was left mysterious until recently. Through interviews by Dr. Montauk with a former member of the Children of the Scarlet King, it's learned that Scarlet King is not a singular entity but likened to an abstract idea that was born during the birth of modernity
It changed the past to introduce itself as the Scarlet King and it's learned that Scarlet King is the tension between the Pre-Modern and the Modern. Due to Scarlet King's nature, it's likely that it has no true personality of his own, instead his nature being shaped by the belief of humanity
