**Name:** Dr. Philip Leighton **Primary Alias(es):** "Leicontis"; "Dr. Leicontis" **Clearance Level:** 2 **Primary Role:** Materials analysis, characterization, and replication **Personnel History:** Doctor Leighton first came to the Foundation's attention when Japanese authorities reported that someone was making inquiries regarding the parent grove of [[[SCP-143]]]. When questioned, he revealed that he had obtained an antique manuscript which referenced the so-called "Bladewood Grove", and due to his near-obsessive interest in swordmaking, immediately began further research in hopes of uncovering the truth behind the stories. His persistence impressed Agent ███████ who suggested that Dr. Leighton be recruited by the Foundation. From the interview transcript: > **Agent ███████:** "Okay, okay! I'll ask them! Now let go of my leg, and stop it with the puppy-dog eyes - it's not cute, it's ████ing creepy!" While Dr. Leicontis has proven himself a capable researcher, and shown a surprising degree of comfort with even dangerous SCPs, his interpersonal skills could still stand some improvement. He often tends to regard his fellow researchers as a greater threat than the anomalous objects they research, and seems to swing between timid-and-deferential and abrasive-and-hostile. Fortunately, due to his utter ineptness at physically demanding tasks, including combat, he does not pose any actual threat to other staff. **Note:** In light of recent incidents, Dr. Leicontis is not permitted direct access to --blade-related SCPs-- --any sharp objects-- blade-related SCPs. **Note:** For his own safety, Dr. Leicontis should not be allowed to communicate directly with Agent Yoric without supervision. **SCPs Catalogued:** [[[SCP-189]]] - Hair-imitating parasite [[[SCP-318]]] - Soul Press [[[SCP-724]]] - Radio Raccoons [[[SCP-941]]] - Carsickness(Research update undertaken by [[[dr-rogets-file| Dr. Roget]]]) **Research Contributions:** [[[SCP-557]]] - Ancient Containment Site (eric_h project head) **Other Activities:** [[[In the Big League]]] [[[Loop]]] **Under Investigation:** Story of a D-Class [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box]] [[include :scp-wiki:component:license-box-end]]
