Corey

=Background=

Cory is the child of the Scarlet King, SCP-001, and it is hypothesized that the mother is one of the Seven Brides, otherwise known as SCP-231-1 through SCP-231-7. Not much else is known about his past other than that fact he had an old friend Uni, who was a talking dog and worked at the Foundation. Cory later found out that Uni was considered an SCP, but his number was never stated.

Cory was brought into the The SCP Foundation by Dr. Jack Bright, who was currently holding out in a clone created by Uni at the time. Cory willingly joined the Foundation as a desk jockey, thinking it was a pizza place that stood for Sausage, Cheese, and Pepperoni. He meets up with his old friend Uni, who knew of Cory coming to the Foundation. It wasn’t stated how Uni knew his friend was coming.

The same day he began working for the Foundation, a site wide containment breach happened, which was SCP-610, SCP-079, and SCP-682. Many of these SCPs make other appearances later on in the series.

In that same containment breach, Uni fell victim to SCP-610, otherwise known as ‘The Flesh That Hates’. In an attempt to contain the SCP, Uni sacrifices his life by incinerating the room he was in, leaving Cory devastated. Which is fair considering the fact he just witnessed an old friend getting extremely sick and blowing himself up.

Cory manages to escape and is promoted to guard, and is assigned to a task force with some people named Hooper, Laura (Who for a short bit becomes Cory’s girlfriend), and Triana, who is the leader. Their first mission is to capture Bigfoot, otherwise known as SCP-1000.

As a hazing process, Triana and Hooper convince Cory to go alone in a cave where SCP-1000 is staying. There, Cory finds SCP-1000 and their child. After a bit of conversing, Cory decides to let SCP-1000 go,  Gunshots are soon heard outside.

After Cory let Bigfoot escape, he leaves the cave to find his teammates propped against some rocks, unconscious. Shocked at his teammates' condition, the clone Dr. Bright was using steps forward. Now, this would’ve been a problem, had Cory known that Uni made a clone and was being used for Dr. Bright. However, he didn’t know this, and dubbed Dr. Bight as Duni, a shortened form of Dark Uni.

That was Cory’s first contact with someone from The Serpent's Hand. Cory soon joined the Serpent’s Hand after being classified as an SCP himself due to his face, since it is a camera.

The situation behind Cory being classified is a fun one. Cory arrives at Dr. Patience’s lab, stating that he was back from a mission. Dr. Patience is a scientist who has been training Cory on all the SCPs.

Cory walked into the lab asking where he was (Cory was referring to SCP-999, who Cory grew attached to), but stopped upon Dr. Patience blocking his path. After a bit of moving back and forth, Dr. Patience tells him to wait a minute.

Cory manages to slip pass Dr. Patience and see a guard hitting SCP-999, and he quickly asks what the guard was doing. Dr. Patience supplies that SCP-999 has been deemed a threat, and Cory is curious on who would think SCP-999 was a threat.

Otis, a person that did not get along so well with Cory, walks in with Dooper, stating that it was him that declared SCP-999 a threat, and that he was the Site Director for the time being, and that he was there to contain a dangerous and vile SCP; SCP-4000, known as ‘The Camera Faced Human’. (They should have named him the Cameraman, the script writers missed a good pun right there and I am somewhat upset).

Otis list the reasons why Cory is an SCP, which are:


 * Cory’s face is a camera.
 * He seems to be the luckiest person alive.
 * He seems to avoid all manner of physical and psychological trauma.

Dooper knocks Cory out soon after Otis tells him to contain him, along with Bricky, an SCP made out of Lego™ bricks. Dr. Patience is highly against this, and Otis tells him that he will need to report bright and early for experimentation on SCP-4000.

What they didn’t know was that Otis was technically correct on being an SCP, just not completely in the way he thought. As stated at the beginning, Cory is the son of the Scarlet King, a super powerful being that wants to end humanity.

It was hinted at of Cory being his son before it was finally decided in the series. SCP-682, or known as the ‘Hard To Kill Lizard’, would often call Cory ‘brother’ and when Cory made first contact with the Scarlet King, he ended up calling Cory ‘son’.

Another way it was hinted at was Cory’s growing abilities. Cory has been shown teleporting himself and others, is unaffected by most SCPs, and can control some SCPs, and has been shown to, at worst kill and at best knock out, Dr. Clef without moving his body; Just merely lifting his hands.

The last one is shown when the Scarlet King controls Cory, and makes him release Abby, who is SCP-053 and who the Scarlet King calls ‘Death’, and SCP-682. Those three quickly escape.

Dr. Patience, who is at this point a Site Director, tells everyone about Cory’s previous assignment as an SCP. No one besides a few people at this point knew about it since right when Dr. Patience was promoted to Site Director, he expunged most of Cory’s data on his file. However, due to the circumstances, they updated his classification to an Apollyon.

Personality
Cory is an extremely friendly and extroverted type of person and is known throughout the foundation. It is quickly seen that he cares for almost every SCP and his friends. Cory mostly shows his emotions on his sleeve and is quickly seen that he gets easily attached to people and SCPs. While he may not seem the brightest, he does have his moments when he really surprises everyone.

Appearance
Cory is shown with a camera face and one blue eye that may switch to red if he is angered enough or uses his powers. His eye will also turn green if he is with SCP 999 as seen when fighting against the Scarlet King. In the final scene we see his eye turns gray, due to Cory having passed away due to his inquires in the finale fight. Cory used to wear a white suit and tie, but he often changes outfits when he gets promoted or demoted. Cory also has yellow/golden hair that goes around his head and pale skin.

Family
Corey’s father is SCP-2317-K, the Scarlet King while his mother is believed to be SCP-231-7. Because of this, SCP-999, SCP-053 and SCP-682 are his half-siblings.
