Doctor Elias Shaw is eccentric, amoral, chaotic, and unpredictable, however, Shaw does all of this to cope with the fact that he's immortal, due to being accidentally bonded to SCP-963; an amulet that grants the wearer immortality. His consciousness transfers to anyone who touches the amulet, which cannot be destroyed. He's extremely loyal to the SCP Foundation and its mission. Elias Shaw wants nothing more than to permanently die, but masks it well using humour and a chaotic facade.
