Dr. Clef - SCP Foundation Researcher (SCP Animation)
Dr. Clef is a Foundation Researcher also known as Dr. Alto Clef.
The genre-savvy and enigmatic "Dr. Alto Clef" maintains that its true name is that of an A major chord played on a ukelele, which it carries around with it at all times should other entities wish to address it by name. Dr. Clef has received its current nickname due to its habit of signing reports with a hand-drawn Alto Clef symbol. Although apparently competent at its job, its acerbic attitude and habit of annoying its coworkers by walking around minimal security areas with unfurled cinnamon rolls stuck in its nose has gained it the enmity of several of its coworkers.

You forgot to mention, that Clef has "anti-anomaly" property - anomalies near him stop working. And that he once took SCP-173 on a "date", putting female wig and dress on it.
Oh-? I thought it was only reality benders,
@@rosedblossom it has a limit tho 239 was so powerful and terrified of him it made him murderous
@@junconglin He was murderous before even coming into contact with her-?
He took 173 on a date, I'm dying of laughter
@@rosedblossom All anomalies are disturbances of reality, so with Clef in proximity, reality becomes "normal", non-anomalous. For instance, SCP-173 is just regular statue in his presence. But his effect isn't permanent and can only weaken particularly strong SCPs.
"Fuck death, war, famine and pestilence. We've got Clef, Gears, Kondraki and Bright." - Dr. Bright
What about Dr Rights? "She is not to be around the monkey at all"
"Pestilence?" ~SCP-049
@@heinrich.hitzinger oh nope nothing to see here doctor
@@PancakeFlowers Not at all
and scp 49 for the pestilence part lol
The most terrifying thing you could EVER hear from Dr. Bright are two words: "Here, catch..."
Imagine you and dr bright are in the same room and out of nothing he suddenly say "i'm bored" and see what will happen
The most terrifying words out of clef is anything normal.
Correction: The most terrifying words from Dr Bright would be "Oh no" as that would insinuate something even he did not expect has happened and he is worried... Anything that worries Bright should cause pure terror in any other researcher...
@@__Insanity_ that applys to people with 4 and 5 access. They know how bad things can get
OH NO
Bright and Kondraki probably play the A major chord on every instrument except the Ukulele just to piss Clef off.
Yup
Thats gotta beon the wiki somewhere
They probably even did it on instruments that simply cannot play A major chord.
@@EstEsreil A trumpet for example.

To quote from the list of Dr bright "Fuck Death, War, Famine and Pestilence. We've got Clef, Gears, Kondraki and Bright."
@@trickymander makes me wonder who's who. Clef can be death or war. Maybe bright can be death since he can't die.
One of the tales suggests that 682 and 052 are 2 of the horsemen
I would like a video on gears and kondraki as well. Then we would have all of the horseman explained.

What about the destructobot scp?
Who you calling a meme?
Dr. Clef has spoken.
SCP Foundation: We're cold. Not cruel. Dr. Clef: Yeah, about that...
…I don’t think so. This is true lol 😂
Dr. Clef: “You don’t speak for me!”
he may be the biggest challenge the "i can fix him" girlies have ever faced
It’s a challenge I’m willing to take…
good luck
Also it's interesting to note Dr Clef has three eyes, one green eye, one blue eye, and one hazel eye, all of which have pupils which appear to absorb all light falling upon them.
Where's the third eye?
@@ivettegutierreztorres4272 sorry I never got the notification anyone replied and I've been binge watching the episodes again. The location of Dr clefs third eye isn't specified. in fact all that's stated in his personal file is "It has one green eye, one blue eye, and one hazel eye, both of which appear to have pupils which absorb all light falling upon it" hinting that Dr Clef has three eyes. His personal file is really interesting and I would recommend you read it if you're still interested in reading more.
@@froggyfriend2744I read it myself, and lemme tell you I pass away everytime I read, ‘reformed misogynist’ 💀
@@froggyfriend2744its also mentioned in scp 4231 that he has 3 by himself (albiet a much younger version) but i wouldnt reccomend checking out that file due to the.... ah.... explicit sexual abuse clef suffered
@@froggyfriend2744oh, it shifts around his body
So Clef is Lawful Evil and Bright is Chaotic Neutral. Got it, got it
I mean… Yes. But Clef is such a loose cannon, one could probably fit a chaotic in there somewhere as well.
LMAO
"chaotic lawful, i follow a strict set of morals bit no one knows what they are"
You left out his horrible fashion sense, his heterochromia, and yes, it is very likely he was (abused) into a relationship with a goddess, who gave birth to a girl with antlers.
They also left out one of the current SCP's is actually his ex. Lilith.
@@9751matt but I thought clef killed her in that story?
@@Lady_Chalk Ah, you misunderstand. KTE 9927 The Goddess, Gaia, was Clef's wife, and Clef was forced to kill her when she went mad. Clef was not married to her forever though. Even though he knew Gaia for a very long time, a prior marriage was actually with SCP 336, Lilith. She is his other wife and current ex. She is rather unique in that she actively found an scp agent on vacation and went into the back of his car and asked to be put into containment, even though the agent never revealed he was Foundation. She has also acted heroically once, despite her powers being more or less evil in nature. While she is introverted, has slight vanity issues and is a little annoyed by tests, she is one of the most model cooperative behavior from a non-human but sentient SCP. She gets a lot of what she requests within reason, and is only refused access to several scp objects which she seems to have knowledge of.
and the 3 eyes
guys I have a theory: So, Dr. Clef claims to be the Devil in Person right? And he claims that scp-239 the witch child is God himself… So lets say the scarlett king is the personification of Satan aswell? Some people pointed out that Dr. Clef might be even him… Putting all that together, knowing that The Scarlet King was in love with a Goddess, which gave him the 7 brides, would that mean that scp-239 is the incarnation of the goddess? Is that why he wanted to kill the Witch child? because if she would start remembering, she would hunt down the Dr. Cleff?
10:13 "surgically precise methods" show Clef with chainsaw. Yep, very precise method.
Hey, don't underestimate the precision of a chainsaw.
@@TheRealDrClef oh why hello Dr. Clef himself is in the comment section haha
The chainsaw was invented as a surgical tool.
@@TheRealDrClef No
@@lungsfilledofroses Yes
Correction about 239. If I remember clef's intimidation caused the child to view him as hostile, directly making him murderous
Yeah he said himself that she's so powerful that she partially over came his anomaly immunity. So she kinda amped his "I'm gonna kill her"
Yeah I'm sure that's what he claims happened
He is a foundation scientist But acts like he is with the GOC And he is like Fernand the Cannibal
He was with the GOC
More Juicy Info about Dr Clef. 1) Dr. Clef is able to kill many unbelievably unstoppable SCPs because he is an inhuman, super strong reality bender himself. Hence the picture issue. His strength is easily on the level of Abel, which is why the idea of intimidating 682 in a staring contest didn't seem to be a bad idea to him at a time, and 682 didn't even bother attacking him as they were both equally surly and violent. Most of his reality tricks are mostly odd and not all powerful, but between an extreme resistance to stuff that normally incapacitates humans and his relentless desire to stop XK End of the World Scenarios even if it means using weaponry and violence that would cause a lot of collateral damage, he usually is able to kill or stop a lot of SCP's most entire units wouldn't stand a chance against. 2) He indeed was married to a goddess at some point, SCP 9927 (EDIT: or more accurately KTE 9927 by the GOC, as the goddess hasn't had a universally agreed upon SCP number), and was forced to kill her during the 9927 BLACK incident, where the goddess went mad and tried to revert the earth to a tecnology-less hellscape where plants would erupt basically everywhere, killing billions. It is unknown how old Clef is. He's likely been alive for ages. SCP 166, the teenage Gaia, is indeed his daughter, and he loves her unconditionally. She was raised in a nunnery most of her life away from her father and mother for multiple reasons. Caring for her while she eventually found herself in containment as a teenager has supposedly mellowed Clef out a bit about necessary evils, although he is no less a violence nut. 3) He claims to be the devil, but such a claim is easily among his many lies. There are hints that at the very least he might be some sort of Sumerian Demon, as he is linked to an SCP from that long ago time period. His relationship to his superiors is basically what you'd expect....he's basically Alucard from Hellsing, although (likely) not a vampire, just an inhuman weapon nut who gets the job done, He's solved incidents that could of caused XK Class End of the World Scenarios many, MANY times both within the GOP and Foundation, but he gives his superiors and colleagues headaches because he's that much of a loose cannon. For woman, its quite literal headaches, he gives off an aura that repulses most woman, although like many abilities of the nature, they can mostly be ignored if you are aware of it. These are among the many, many details about Alto Clef, although the ones mentioned above have mostly been confirmed in multiple stories, hence they are worth noting. UPDATE: I forgot to mention two things. 4) Clef wasn't just married to the Goddess. Clef also has an Ex, SCP-336, also known as Lilith. She is an Arabic woman with slightly lizard like features on her skin with powers that are definitively evil in nature, but she herself is mostly a pacifist, and one of the few SCP's that actually asked to be turned in. 5) While there is no official explanation for his true identity, there is one entity that fits both his history and his exact personality. This is pure headcanon, but it seems to match. Clef is Azazel. Not just any version of Azazel, as there are countless interpretations, but Azazel from the Book of Enoch. The one obsessed with human weapons. -The Rebel of Heaven -The Fallen Angel sent to Earth, not Hell -The Angel of Weapons -The Devil's Scapegoat -The Chief Grigori that slept with woman and helped create witchcraft.
Who gave this classified information? I just want to talk.
@agent_bolt Clef: Go be a sport and grab daddy another drink will you.
it isn't scp 9927 it is KTE 9927, just letting you know, and teenage gaia is likely KTE 9927 Blackchild and in one or two tales he actually succeeds in killing the witch child (if I remember right and it was through a scp painting where her powers were unable to do anything in one and in the other he melted her) because he is basically a moving scranton reality anchor, but the most commonly accepted tale is the one where he is able to put her in an artificial coma. Those tales where he kills her take place after the coma tale btw.
@@fahim-fahim Any researchers or mobile task force members that do their job right are not given an SCP designation. That includes Dr. Clef, any researchers who accidentally gain powers who are assigned to Keter Duty, and the Mobile Task Force MTF Omega 12 aka Achilles Heel. All of them have powers but don't need an SCP designation since they are the ones doing the SCP job.
@@9751matt But he didn't gain powers, he's had powers long before he was invited to the foundation. Clef therefore should be treated like any other scp.
Oh he did punish a guest researcher by tossing him to SCP 682.. after that one did use kids to see if it refused to kill them. but sadly it did just devour the kids. Clef ain't having none of that so he kicked the researcher in there to SCP 682.
Only I'm allowed to murder children.
@@TheRealDrClef Eeep.
The satisfaction when one reads that termination attempt for the first time is unmatched.
Honestly, if it weren't for the man-eating mutants, sadistic undead beings, unholy deities and the slight possibility of your coworkers going berserk and massacring you, working for the SCP Foundation sounds like the perfect job
All of that makes it the perfect job.
@@lucifers.morningstar3805 true
Life being as boring as it is I think I would work there just because I'm bored.
"Why would you like to work here?" "To get paid" "Ok... and how is your reaction to having to work with murderous beings who will massacre you in the blink of an eye" "Perfect, anything else to fuck my mental and physical health?" "Yes sir, your co-workers are also, murderous anomalous weirdos" "Fuck me" "No thanks, you're hired."
The Montauk House by has to be my favorite story about Clef. Hell, it's why Clef is my favorite researcher in the SCP universe. Hearing about all he went through working for the GOC and killing Type Greens, being abused, all the mental breakdowns. You really can't blame him for how he is now.
Man that story is enough to make a grown man cry. My man went through the most crap.
dr bright is an actual scp people worked on. dr clef is just 37 memes in trenchcoat wanting to be an scp
38 memes, actually.
I don't get why everyone keeps calling him a meme. What memes is he based on?
@@YusufKhan-me9ko yes
@@YusufKhan-me9ko he fired against bright over a nintendo
He is a reality bender that is literally immune to effects of cognitive hazards and anomalous objects (he once dressed 173 up with a wig and dress and took it on a date whilst 2 guards just watch until he told them it was okay to close their eyes) and has killed multiple instances of dangerous scps and is also married to a goddess, is the father of plant girl (forgot her name) and is pretty much immortal as,said on the wiki so yeah, I wouldn't be so quick to rule him out.
List of things Dr. Bright is permitted to do by the SCP Foundation: - Sleep - Drink Water - Use the Restroom - Eat (being discussed) - Breathe (But he’s about to lose it!)

“Based on Dr Clef by DrClef” *”Hmmm yes the Dr Clef here is made of DrClef”* _-Dr Clef_
Cleft is such a strange guy, but is always respectable with how much he protects and cares for his daughter, the teenage gaia
The assassination of 239 was hilarious, especially the whole breaking into other cells for “alone time” with SCPs. Also the whole Kondraki did not bash Dr.Clef’s head into The corner of the table but if he did he totally deserved it.
His bullshiting ability is limitless
@@junconglin He's had a long time to practice. He was once married to Lilith, his ex, someone not mentioned in the Clef vs Kondraki incident, and also married to the mother of his child, the Goddess Gaia. I think Clef's real identity is in the Book of Enoch, the guy that loves human weapons, sleeping with women despite being an angel. The guy that says he's the Devil because God declared him the Devil's Scapegoat for his recklessness and rebellious attitude and chaos he created. What was his name...Azazel I think. Azazel of the Book of Enoch.
Pretty sure Clef tried to kill himself in that interview. He fell off the chair himself and rammed his own head against the counter
Didn't 239 also summon a dragon by accident during the assasination?
I love how at the end of the video we can see a note saying: "based on dr clef by DrClef."
Just so fitting honestly
We can trust nothing said by the article.
O5: We're supposed to be cold, not cruel! Clef: (tries to kill a girl while she's sleeping)
While Dr.bright trying something different...
O5: We approve, here's a promotion!
239 made clef murderous because she was scared of him
@@junconglin Exactly. When Clef got angry at her for playing with life and death by reviving a bird, her perception of her turned him murderous to her, getting the false impression that he wanted to kill her He tried to resist, wrote in his diary entry of Clef struggling as his level 3 reality warping resistance was being overcome by her level 4 reality bending. His second wife and current ex, Lilith, somehow sensed this happening cause when Kondraki tried to fight Clef and Clef knocked Kondraki to the floor, SCP 336 Lilith broke containment and they talked and finally injured Clef enough so that he couldn't kill the Witch Child.
„Well, cruel would have been to try it while she was awake“ -Dr. Clef, probably
"Murdering an eight-year-old scp while she's asleep you MONSTER" lol that got me😂😂😂😂
Conclusion: Deep inside, Dr. Clef will always reamain a GOC agent
I read a very short story / theory that I kinda liked The story was that when Dr Bright died the first time, he actually survived after a copy of himself was put in the amulet, meanwhile the original Bright goes off after being assumed as dead. He joins the GOC, goes back to SCP under a new name, Alto Clef Read that like... 2 years ago I think?
i like that theory, and his love for chainsaws makes it even more possible
@@gudnisnaer8171 True XD
They’ve been in the same room together before tho
@@noahparks3532 Just retelling a story I read (Besides its saying how basically the Dr Bright that swaps bodies is the copy)
Bright and Clef are two self insert by previous authors. I prefer how scp are writing recently than that era of quirky marie sue self inserts to be honest. Although Dr. Bright is handled way better these days
Imagine Clef, gears, Kondraki and Bright were on the same room filled with guns, anomalies and that. And Suddenly Clef says : Bright! Come here! I've got a test to do!
i want to see an animated version of the things Dr Bright isn't allowed to do
the amount of videos they pump out is so quick and very… *anomalis*
oh no your gonna evoke the foundation on them.
"anomalis"
very sus
Where did he get this nickname? He signs reports withe an Alto Clef... Yup that checks out.
According to the testing records on SCP-447, if it weren't for Cleft the 'idiots' testing 447 would have not only used it on a dead body, but repeatedly done so with their test.
Gotta love the notes he leaves, especially the one where they submerged him in 447
@@CosmicFearUkulele Considering 447 normally has beneficial effects on living, it might had helped Dr. Cleft, but then again, we are talking about Dr. Cleft.
@@ashleighstratmann7783 I still think my favorite headcanon for that is that it actually does nothing when applied to a dead body, it just releases a memetic effect that makes the person disgusted. It just so happens to trigger in an 05, and now you have the procedures you have the day.

"You may not Like me, but I got the job done" ~Dr Alto Clef probably
You may like me or hate me, but i got everything done in the weirdest way possible -Dr Bright probably

Fun fact, even Abel was legitimately horrified when he was shown what it does to dead bodies *after* he ate (and enjoyed) it.
First Dr Clef started to appear more and more on this channel, now there is even a video about him.
Dr Clef was like in the thumbnail: "You thought that you were going to watch Dr.Clef, BUT IT WAS ME, DIO!"
Cleft cant shape reality like that. He isnt a realty bender, he is a reality anchor.
Well, yes and no. He is a reality bender in a sense, but most of his reality bending skills are weak and used for deception, while his reality bending resistance is very high. His presence doesn't weaken reality bending in the area, it simply protects him. So its hard to say he's an anchor. Either that's the nature of his powers he was born with, or he originally had both very powerful reality bending and reality bending resistance, but something caused him to lose most of his powers, but a lot of his passive resistance remain. If he is who I think he is, then I'm thinking its the latter.
It depends on the canon
Did y’all know that Dr. clef kills Dr. bright? Like permanently? Apparently Dr. bright does permanently die when Dr. clef launched scp-963 to the sun. Search it up on Google
You forgot to mention the fact that Clef is immortal like Dr. Bright, it’s just a different kind of immortality.
Could you do a video with a list of Foundation Staff? There are plenty of popular staff like Dr. Kondraki, Dr. Gears, Dr. Gerald (also SCP-666-J), Dr. Gears, Dr. Iceberg, Dr. Glass. And plenty more.
also dr King. He keeps getting haunted by apples.
@@YusufKhan-me9ko Yeeeessss

The recent focus on recurring Researchers is really cool! I don't suppose this might lead to you guys adapting that ever-growing list of Things Dr. Bright Is No Longer Allowed To Do, would it? It'd probably be great fodder for a Shorts series.
If I'm not mistaken in some canons he's a reality bender himself.
He is, but most of his reality bending skills are weak and used for deception, while his reality bending resistance is very high. Either that's the nature of his powers he was born with, or he originally had both very powerful reality bending and reality bending resistance, but something caused him to lose most of his powers, but a lot of his passive resistance to remain. If he is who I think he is, then I'm thinking its the later.
The "Alto Clef" symbol is NOT a "type of musical note". (@ 02:05). Clefs are used at the beginning of the staff with key and time signatures to let you know which note to play and the count for that note. For example, if you have a full open circle on the middle line of the staff, the note can change depending on whether the clef is Treble, Bass, or Alto and the key signature (sharps and flats)given, and the length of the note will vary based on the time signature (as in 4/4, 2/4, 6/8, etc.) So, it is a NOT a note. Just a friendly FYI. 😌🎼🎵 🎶
9:40 SCP-Explained: (Calls SCP-239 a "defenseless, anomalous child") SCP-239: *CAN LITERALLY BEND REALITY TO HER WILL*
I'm pretty sure clef didn't originally want to kill her, 239 just influenced him
@@junconglin if you read the full version of that interaction she can't influence dr clefs reality he's somehow standing outside of the SCP dimension
@@xkennox3343 you mean the 239 termination or something else? Edit fuck autocorrect
@@junconglin Clef, as he states in his Suicide Note, is a reality anchor, meaning he can’t interact with any anomalies anomalously and they can’t interact with him either, meaning both reality benders can do nothing to him. In the suicide note story, he also says before killings himself m he crippled 343, and put a cocktail of cyanide and anomalous acid into 239’s drink and killed her, only because he was so frightened that she could actually interact with him anomalously.
@@random3293 Disregarding stories from timelines that completely diverge from the canon... Dr. Clef's powers are all odd but one major one include being a reality anchor of sorts, however his resistance only goes up to Level 3 reality bending, and SCP 239 is a level 4 reality bender. When he chastised The Witch Child for playing with life and death by bringing a bird back to life, she got so frightened by his anger that her perception of Dr. Clef was 'he wants to kill me'. As such, that effect took place but not immediately, he was writing in his notes in a panicked manor as he was trying to resist her reality perception changing him for as long as he can. He eventually succumbed to it but was thankfully stopped. When Dr Kondraki tried to stop him, they had a fight and Kondraki was knocked to the side, but not completely unconscious. But then Dr. Clef's second wife and current ex, SCP 336 Lilith, appeared out of containment and talked with him, trying to convince him to not kill someone so innocent, and she eventually injured her ex-husband enough so that he failed to kill the Witch Child. She then put her mask back on and went back into her containment cell.
For those wondering, 166 used to be teenage succubus but they changed it to teenage gaia
I totally understand why everyone finds Clef slimy. Clef (on Ukelele):... anyway, how about I play Wonderwall? SCP Researcher: Why are you like this?
“by signing off with an alto clef symbol, a type of musical *note* ” my years as a band kid, music theory nerd, and amateur composer are weeping
Guess who told him that chainsaw had anomalous properties? 😁 Also if you want to have some real fun, try referring to Cleff by the G7 note. He totally loves that!
I was thinking that as soon as I saw the chainsaw
Definitely Bright..
"Surgically precise" he says as clef revs a chainsaw
So he murdered a huge chunk of his research staff, is infamous not only for being a loose cannon but also basically known to every woman in the foundation as a sexually harassing tailchaser but he also relishes in the idea of decommisioning SCPs in the most violent ways possible which directly goes against the Foundation's stated methods, goals and moral underpinnings. And yet he works there because the SCP foundation would rather have control of this monster to sick him on whomever and whatever they choose rather than actually do something to stop him. Ethics committee my ass.
If you read the list of things Dr. Bright is not allowed to do, it says, quote, "There is no such thing as an Ethics Committee. And even if there was, what makes you think Bright would be on it? Other than as an example of what not to do."
Oh yes, the ethics committee hates him, but his continued employment falls in line with their rules. Both in the GOC and Foundation, he's solved so many would-be XK Class End of the World Scenarios by his extreme resistance to SCP's, super strength, and willingness to eliminate with extreme prejudice. He's basically the Alucard of the SCP Foundation. He goes on many walks.
He's too valuable to dispose of. He's a necessary evil, as stated.
You missed one thing THE COW BOY HAT AND THE THIRD EYE
Where's his third eye
@@ivettegutierreztorres4272 he is supposed to have a cowboy hat and a third eye, they have the third eye in the thumbnail but not in the vid
Im so glad Clef finally got his own video. Honestly the whole incident with SCP 239 deserves its own video with how intense the whole situation was and the use of several SCPs between Clef and Kondraki's fight.
Do a stars do not wait video. Really wish to see the story roll out in animation
yesss and i hope they do it justice much like volgun's narration.
Remember Cleft and Bright are not allowed to enter a petting zoo together.
Interesting fact: Dr. Cleft was the writer of the journal that had all the details on the O5 that Calvin Lucian of the Chaos Insurgency obtained from Marshal Carter and Dark in 'Oroboros Cycle: The Way It Ends'
According to 'The Way it Ends' Dr. Cleft wrote it when he was member of the Global Occult Coalition thus why it was signed in the end as Agent Ukulele.
That thumbnail is giving me strong DIO vibes

Dr. Clef isn’t really Dr. Clef without his cowboy hat 🤠
Dr. Bright at the Foundation Costume Party when Cleft came in with his chainsaw. Dr. Bright: I know how to handle this! Somebody get me a bigger chainsaw! Everyone else: NOOOOO! Dr. Bright: Then get me a chainsaw cannon! Everyone else: NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Did the other researchers really think they could stop the same guy who killed a nature goddess from killing a witch girl?
Well clef was actively preventing himself from killing 239 after she made him murderous
Maybe, maybe not. One of the in-universe theories is that the witch girl herself both caused Clef to try to kill her and caused Kondraki to protect her, just by believing they would.

He's so scary. I hope he doesn't find out. I don't want to die :( Found in the "Deleted Files" folder of Dr. A. Clef's email account, dated 48 hours before incident. TO: ALL SCP PERSONNEL FROM: Dr. A. Clef, Site 19 SUBJECT: STOP ME To all personnel: secure SCP-239 immediately, and put Site 17 into high alert. You need to stop me, or someone is going to die. About twenty-four hours ago, I was filled with the sudden compulsion to kill SCP-239. It started as a simple thought, but the obsession is growing stronger. I have reason to believe that my plan may have failed. Damn… I should have known she would misconstrue my talk about "severe punishments." Kids are smarter than that, but dumber too… damn it! Stupid of me! How could I be so blind? wait, what am I doing? Why am I trying to get you to stop me? That little monster she's too dangerous to live. She broke the rules, now she has to die. Can't do it offhand, need to do this by the book make a proposal first, that's the ticket. Telekill alloy weapon, that should be able to [EMAIL ENDS] It's all but directly stated that this was the case
@@junconglin One thing that's not often mentioned was that when he was in his 'kill little girl' state due to his perception, not only did Kondraki try to stop him yet wasn't enough, but Clef's other ex, SCP 336 Lilith, got out of containment and made his endeavor to kill her fail. Despite having powers that can only be described as evil, she herself is actually very much an anti-hero and felt Clef killing the Witch Child was going too far. I'm starting to get a good idea of who Clef is after looking at the Book of Enoch. The idea he sleeps with woman despite being (REDACTED), how old he is, his love for weapons... Isn't it ironic that the person who fears the witch child might actually be the father of all witchcraft, despite not being able to use much witchcraft himself?
@@9751matt azazel?
I’m more surprised that the foundation has a annual costume party then that he murdered half of his people😒🥲🤣
He and Dr. Bright Together mean a Containment Breach which means Fun time for them and the Opposite for all others
"The note of an ukulele" .... god, that sounds like the name some prominent figure would give its child
I watch this almost every day as background noise lol, I love Alto Clef so much, his character is so funny
I think I'm simping on Clef at this point
As far as I understand it, Dr. Alto Clef was Francis or SCP-4231-B, he was a Type Green or a reality bender and he worked with the GOC, ironically, hunting reality benders. He was with a girl who was his best friend since childhood, SCP-4231-A or Lilly and who was most likely SCP-231-1, who was also a Type Geen/Reality bender, she was abusive towards him quite possible because of her reality bending abilities, and there's a lot of background, I would certainly recommend reading all of those aforementioned SCP files. They eventually had a child, SCP-166 or Meri, who was born during the Cornwall incident, more on that in the SCP-4231 article, basically Dr. Clef thought that Lilly would get even worse after the birth of Meri and killed her, then he and Meri were captured, Meri was supposed to be killed but was instead smuggled into a Christian monastery if I understand it correctly (possibly by clef himself? but idk this is all very speculative and unclear), Dr. Clef then after some time of suffering though PTSD and various other mental illnesses from what he had experienced joined the foundation as a Researcher but he never speaks of what happened to him in the past and refuses to reveal any information on the Montauk procedure that was conducted by either him or Lilly or them both. This all folds into the Scarlet King story, supposedly Lilly was conducting the Montauk procedure on the rest of SCP 231s along with Dr. Clef back then but nobody knows if Clef was the one who instigated it and if he was the one who was actually abusive or if it was really Lilly and this all ties into the Scarlet King storyline. As for what happened after, there's like 6 different tales where Dr. Clef dies so that's up to the reader, and Lilly's remain were used to construct a reality anchor, as is depicted at the end of SCP-4231 article, which is one of my favourites so I recommend reading it.
We need dedicated videos for Dr. Bright, Gears, and Crow.
Dr Bright has one
@@1237Noah oh word? thanks!!
I believe he even took 173 on a date dressing it up in a wig and dress before doing some... stuff with it while a bunch of horrified d-boys were forced to watch the whole thing
A reminder that clef and bright are never to be left unsupervised in the same room together due to multiple incidents of chaos and insane pranks
Alto Clef game play -Shotgun go brrrrrr -Fight Kondraki -failed miserably trying to kill 239 -Prank Adams Alto Clef lore (Scp 4321) --Having been abused by his wife for 7 years -Kill his wife with his own hands -kill all friends -the hexagonal butcher -Has a heavy psychological phobia -Attempted suicide many times
Who needs the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse? We have Dr. Gerald, Dr. Clef, Dr. Condraki and Dr. Bright.
O5 council: now that is avenger level threat
Dr. Gears too. mess with his freezing assistant and he’ll kill ya
One extra word: Astute.
Good.
5:50 I see that Pistole Parabellum behind the MTF’s head. Excellent taste in firearms Dr. Clef
I 2nd that
Quick correction: a clef isn't a musical note. It's simply a marker at the start of a bar of musical notation to tell the musician how the notes are supposed to be read.
I'm more of afraid of Dr. Clef than most scps. And after what he did to 173...... Really wishing for some of those amnestics.
Hey SCP Explained! You should actually talk about 166, and maybe her original versions
Mentioning her original version is hard to do because, A) she was already presented as her current version on this channel during the desire camera ages ago, and B) She was an underage girl who had powers that made men want to try to have sex with her, It was too weird, and really didn't fall in spirit with the SCP stories.
@@9751matt I said versions, there Was one before the Christian version
FINALLY, my favorite researcher in the SCP Universe. Thank you SCP Explained!
Me to
2:02 Tt is not a note, it's a determination of note pitch relative to the staff, like a treble, bass or tenor clef. In an alto clef, the middle line is middle C. In treble, it's the first leger line below the staff. In bass, the first leger line above, and in tenor, the one at the center of the clef.
The version of Clef discussed here is very LOLfoundation. Speaking of which, when are we getting videos about the different Canons? Or more GoI video? I'd kill for a video about Are We Cool Yet?
Never would I thought I would be attracted to a thumbnail of Clef
I mean, he does look like a 3 eyed DIO
no same here bc..
I love clef, he's one of my favorite characters. Im sure he lies to protect his daughter if you beleive she is his daughter.
This video is absolutely amazing. You left enough intrigue that would make people want to research him more. This made me so happy. Thank you.
Man, dr clef, crosses his finger and thumb when lying to ppl.. we aren't even worth 2 fingers. Savage level x100
anyone: *plays an A major chord* dr Clef: you rang?
Let's not forget his seminars on Reality Benders where he pretty much scares a bunch of agents.
As a music nerd this kinda bugged me so I just want to make a slight correction! At 1:58 an Alto Clef is not a musical note but a musical symbol that marks where middle C is on the music staff. If we want to get nitty and gritty it is called a C Clef, but is most commonly referred as Alto Clef. Just a little music lesson from a music nerd who takes music wayyy too seriously!
It bugged me too, thanks!
5:14 did Dr. Bright replaced his shotgun shells that now one of Dr.Bright's chainsaw is stolen?
i saw the video in my feed and i jumped out of pure JOY thank you for the daily quality content, you're awesome✨
It would be fun to see all unique SCP doctors to have a fight against each other
Dr. Clef while having a staring contest with 682: *Oh, you're approaching me?*
We need an entire episode on Incident 239-B
Dr. Clef is a Prime Candidate for the "Most Sadistic" Researcher of the Month.
I wish we had more Dr.Clef videos. A Clef compilation would be awesome.
He also escaped 682's chamber just by staring into it's eyes!!!
