SCP-049

SCP-049 is a Euclid-classified SCP.

Description
SCP-049 appears as a male, 6'2 tall humanoid with a plague doctor uniform, later revealed to be its skin, draped over it. While it is normally passive and docile, SCP-049 will forcefully touch certain people with its gloved hand, and upon skin contact, will instantly kill them. SCP-049 will then retrieve surgeon tools out of seemingly no where and perform what looks like a crude parody of surgery on the dead victim, and after the surgery, will resume its docile state. Minutes after the surgery, the victim, now called SCP-049-2, will reanimate as a hostile zombie-like creature who will attack with the intentions to kill every human they see.

Events
SCP-049 is dead-silent, never saying a word. However, in one random encounter, SCP-049 began to have a surprise conversation with a researcher about its intentions. In this conversation, SCP-049 reveals that he believes the certain people he attacks and reanimates are victims of the Black Plague, and he is the only cure. After the incident, SCP-049 reverted back to his silent state but is reported to happily hum old church hymns and comfort his victim with soothing chat.

Containment Procedures
SCP-049's procedures require him to be housed in a monitored generic holding cell at all times, and when in need of escorting, must be heavily sedated and restrained with metal collars, guided to the destination by guards directing him with poles sticking out of the collars.
