SCP-049 is a 190 cm tall humanoid figure that appears to be garnished in long black robes and a white-beaked mask. However, upon further investigation, it was revealed that these items are a part of SCP-049's physical body, being similar in biological structure to muscle. SCP-049 is very well-mannered, intelligent, respectful, and polite. It seems to truly believe what it is doing is for the greater good, stating that its cure is "most effective".
