Dr. Elias Blake Shaw is a highly eccentric researcher working under the SCP Foundation's Administrative Department. Due to being bound to SCP-0963, Shaw is essentially immortal and can take over the body of whoever touches the pendant. However, instead of being classed as another SCP, Shaw's usefulness has allowed him to keep working for the Foundation. In 2000, Governor George W. Bush was rendered brain-dead after a serious hunting accident; this accident was kept out of the news. He was lined.
