  ᚜ Containment Perameters ᚛
  AH-031 is to be kept in a standard residential cell with all amenities. Subject is permitted to have access to an alchemical workstation but must seek approval for equipment and reagents. All requests must be submitted in writing including description of intent.
  
  Subject may be given access to recreational and enrichment facilities at request given good behaviour preceding request.

• Description

  Subject is a looming figure dressed entirely in a black cloak and cowl. He appears to also wear black underclothes and wrappings under the cloak but precise style cannot be determined. Both the cloak and the underclothes utilize a fabric with light-absorption properties not yet available to the public similar to that of vantablack. Tests have confirmed that the fabric is mundane cotton - its properties are attributed to magical enchantment.
  
  Aside from the cloak subject also wears an ornate mask fashioned to resemble an unknown creature of either feline or canine origin. It is brassy in coloration and features no openings for the eyes, nose, or mouth, however there is a small opening in the cowl attached to the mask to allow for air exchange as well as eating and drinking. Subject is still fully aware of his surroundings despite being unable to see through the mask and can describe his environment in detail with the exception of colour and light value.
  
  The entirety of the subject's body is covered with the exception of his fingers which are long, pinkish in colour, and clawed. The cloak is long enough to drag on the floor and cover subject's feet. Requests to remove these clothing items are consistently met with resistance. While the subject is initially polite when declining these requests persistence will result in increasingly aggravated responses. Note: After the incident (see AH-031-B), requests for AH-031 to remove his clothing is not advised and forceful attempts are not permitted.
  
  AH-031 has a fairly pleasant, if melancholy, disposition and is generally not opposed to visitors to his cell. In most cases he displays considerable hospitality to facility personnel and will offer tea or other drink. He is moderately conversational though will be vague or outright decline to answer questions he feels are too invasive. Subject has expressed loneliness often and mild irritation at his internment but otherwise has not made attempts to escape containment despite his ability to do so (see AH-031-C). When it comes to his work subject grows agitated when requests for supplies are denied and personnel interrupt his activities (see AH-031-A).
  
  Subject has shown generosity and a keenness to help others at times, volunteering his services to the sick and injured. Dr. Magnusson surmises AH-031 at times exhibits behaviour related to guilt and atonement though the subject is notably vague about what he feels guilty for.

• Anomalous Properties

  AH-031 is a well-practiced mage and alchemist and has spent his long life honing his skills and acquiring knowledge of the arts. Though he can perform many supernatural feats and transmutations, most of these are attributed to the arcane arts and advanced alchemy. This aside, AH-031 possesses abilities and anomalous traits specific to himself and are not related to manipulation of the arcane.
  
  

  Immortality While subject certainly is not invincible, he is for all intents and purposes immortal. He feels pain and can be damaged as any other, but all injuries will eventually heal. The length of the regeneration period usually relies on the extent of the damage. Superficial scratches and scrapes will heal within seconds to minutes while more extensive injuries such as deep lacerations and broken bones will take hours or even days. Limb regeneration behaves differently than the above. In most cases lost limbs will rapidly decay into a fine dust and allocate themselves back to the place of amputation to reform. In the event of decapitation or complete dismemberment the entirety of AH-031's body will decay in this manner and seek out the nearest sapient organic being and [REDACTED]. AH-031 can be suffocated and poisoned but will invariably reanimate anywhere between 5 minutes and three hours after death. There appears to be no correlation between cause of death and interim before reanimation. Untransfigurable Subject has indicated that all attempts to transfigure, polymorph, or otherwise change his form are ineffective. Illusory spells to directly conceal or change his appearance are occasionally successful but are unusually difficult to cast and/or maintain. Subject surmises it is a property of his 'condition'. General illusory spells to conceal himself and the environment seem to work normally.

  Second Sight As aforementioned, AH-031 is completely aware of his surroundings even when he has no means to see including through his mask. His field of vision is approximately 200° and he has indicated it is the same when using his actual eyes. When using his second sight he can describe his environment in detail but cannot see the true colour of objects. This vision has been described as silvery etchings of a sort with living beings and heat sources distinguished by a colour the subject is unable to describe. Subject is able to see the pulse of living beings to further set them apart, but says beings that are technically dead such as vampires are just as cold as the rest of the environment. AH-031's ordinary sight is unremarkable, having the same colour range and visual acuity as humans and void of the life/heat detection. Blood moon Subject is unusually irritable and aggressive preceding and during lunar eclipses, including when there is no access to windows or other methods of viewing the sky. Subject has indicated the effect is far stronger in direct presence of the eclipse and requests he is suitably removed from any windows, doors, or other outdoor access. Personnel are not to enter AH-031's cell during these periods and all requests to give the subject access to the moon are to be denied.

  Incident AH-031-A
  

  Access log

  
  Date: 05/19/16
  Personnel involved: Dr. Magnusson, ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
  Dr. Magnusson enters AH-031's cell with ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ while subject appears to be deeply engrossed in alchemical work. Subject fails to notice personnel or does not acknowledge their presence until Dr. Magnusson announces himself.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Evening, Sircha.
  
  AH-031 turns around, flask in hand containing an unknown blue-red dichromic liquid.
  
  AH-031: What colour is this?
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Blue... and red.
  
  AH-031 mutters something in an indeterminate language, apparently agitated, and pours the liquid into a large container. A large violet cloud of vapor bursts from the container which AH-031 waves away.
  
  ▇▇▇▇▇: Should you be doing that?
  
  AH-031 turns enough to face ▇▇▇▇▇. Though the mask and cowl prevent any sort of facial expression being seen ▇▇▇▇▇ later described the look as 'venomous'.
  
  Dr: Magnusson: Ah, Sircha, would you mind conversing a moment?
  
  AH-031: Yes.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Well, it's been several weeks since your last interview. I understand you're very involved with your work--
  
  AH-031: I am busy. Do you know how difficult it is to distill an elixir for ebola without ebola? It was a simple request, that was denied.
  
  ▇▇▇▇▇: Ebola? Seriously?
  
  Dr. Magnusson: I understand, Sircha, but samples of ebola isn't as simple as you think. I'd be willing to appeal your request if you agree to sit down with me for another session.
  
  AH-031: When I am done.
  
  ▇▇▇▇▇: Oh, for fuck's sake.
  
  Both ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ approach AH-031 intending to physically pull him from his work. Upon touching AH-031, subject raises his left hand and makes a gesture. Both personnel are almost instantaneously transfigured into gerbils. Dr. Magnusson silently collects both ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ before retreating backwards out of the cell. Both personnel reverted back to human form within a few hours. AH-031 later complied with Dr. Magnusson's request.

  
  
  Incident AH-031-B

  Date: 09/27/16
  Personnel involved: Lorne Harrison, Dr. Magnusson
  As per a pre-arranged meeting, Harrison and Dr. Magnusson enter AH-031's cell. AH-031 greets them and offers them tea. Harrison declines but Dr. Magnusson accepts. AH-031 puts the kettle on and pleasantries and small-talk are exchanged for the next few minutes.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: How have you been lately?
  
  AH-031: I have been well, thank you. Your tone suggests something deeper than that, however...?
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Ah, well, you haven't been having your... outbursts lately.
  
  AH-031: The eclipse passed some time ago, and I haven't any deeply engrossing projects as of late. I understand I get irritable when I am distracted. My apologies.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: It's quite alright, Sircha. That said, I must ask you, when have you last bathed?
  
  AH-031 takes pause.
  
  AH-031: A while, I'm afraid. My requests for privacy have been denied several times.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: I apologize for that, new security measures have been put in place due to events entirely unrelated to you. Unfortunately that means activities in the showers are also monitored at all times.
  
  AH-031: I require complete privacy, it's not negotiable I'm afraid.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: May I ask why? The new security measures are as much for your safety as it is for ours.
  
  AH-031 quickly moves into the kitchenette, pulling the kettle off the stove.
  
  AH-031: Milk? Sugar? Surely not cream, not in tea.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: The same as always, just sugar. Sircha, while we respect your desire for privacy it's just not possible at this time and to be frank, you need to bathe.
  
  AH-031 either doesn't hear Dr. Magnusson or ignores him while he busies himself with preparing the tea.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Sircha, please--
  
  Harrison: Sircha, you smell like shit. Magnusson can pussyfoot around it all he wants but you smell like you've been living in a dumpster and whether you like it or not you're going to take a goddamned shower.
  
  Harrison approaches AH-031 whose back is still turned to him and Dr. Magnusson. AH-031 turns and Harrison takes subject's mask and pulls it off his face. AH-031 shrieks and throws both his and Dr. Magnusson's tea at Harrison.
  
  AH-031: DON'T LOOK AT ME!
  
  AH-031 pushes Harrison several feet away into the sofa, further alarming Dr. Magnusson. Subject starts to claw at his own face while retreating into his sleeping quarters, shrieking and howling. Harrison quickly exits the cell and Dr. Magnusson makes attempts at placating AH-031 with minimal results. At AH-031's vehement request Dr. Magnusson exits the cell and no attempts at interacting with the subject are made for several days following.
  
  Harrison was treated for mild burns before being reprimanded for his behaviour and was reassigned.
  

  
  
  Incident AH-031-C
  

  Access log

  
  Date: 01/17/17
  Personnel involved: Dr. Magnusson
  AH-031 is observed to be drawing what appears to be an arcane circle in the living area of his cell using a medium later determined to be a mix of blood, wood ash, and other unidentified organic material. Dr. Magnusson is directed to intervene.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Sircha... what are you doing?
  
  AH-031 continues his task, though appears to glance at Dr. Magnusson.
  
  AH-031: Evening, ▇▇▇▇▇!
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Evening. Sircha, what are you doing?
  
  AH-031 steps inside the circle to continue drawing sigils of unknown origin. His robes do not smudge any of the lines when dragged over them.
  
  AH-031: Oh, moving on. You have been rather helpful in facilitating my studies, but alas there is only so much you can do and learn in one place.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: You're leaving? You can't--
  
  Dr. Magnusson happens to be standing where AH-031 is intending to continue his linework. Subject makes a shooing motion.
  
  AH-031: Could you...?
  
  Dr. Magnusson steps out of the way.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: You can't just leave, Sircha.
  
  AH-031: They also told me I couldn't have any ebola.
  
  Dr. Magnusson: Well yo-- wait what?
  
  AH-031 appears to complete the circle and stands in the centre of it. At this point security is directed to AH-031's cell but the doors refuse to open, likely a result of AH-031's influence.
  
  AH-031: I've appreciated your company these several months, ▇▇▇▇▇. Regretfully, I cannot take you with me.
  
  The following events could not be recorded due to electro-magnetic interference. According to Dr. Magnusson the subject disappeared into the floor, the arcane circle disappearing with him. As soon as AH-031 disappeared the door to his cell opened of its own accord. Attempts to relocate AH-031 have failed.
