Each entry includes important info about each SCP (at time of writing), as well as their theorized usefulness, both in general and aginst SCP-682.

Summary: SCP-073 is a heavily-tanned man of Arabic/Middle Eastern descent, in his early thirties, with black hair and blue eyes. Instead of organic arms, legs, shoulder blades, and a spinal cord, 073 has inorganic replacements made of an unknown metal beryllium bronze. 073 has no information regarding his enhanced body parts, claiming they've been a part of him as long as he can remember. There's a Sumerian symbol engraved into 073's forehead. The symbol remains untranslated, and 073 refuses to speak about it. 073 doesn't need to eat or drink regularly, but when he does, he only eats meat, due to his effects on all plant matter. 073 can be referred to as Cain, and he's generally polite to anyone he converses with, albeit in a cold and robotic manner. He is also very helpful around the facility, has a photographic memory, advanced knowledge of history, and above average intelligence. Any plant life that 073 touches or approaches dies, and if soil is present, it cannot support plant growth anymore. 073 cannot be harmed, as all harmful actions directed at 073 are reflected back onto the attacker, though 073 still feels the pain of the harmful action. 073 knows about SCP-076 ("Able") but has yet to wish to speak of him in any way.
Usefulness: Since 073 has a photographic memory and no feasible way to be killed, he has been very useful to the Foundation as a living compendium of all of the Foundation's files, should they somehow be destroyed.
Against 682: 073 cannot be damaged but has also not shown any ability to fight. However, when pitted up against 682, he would probably be horribly maimed, in which case 682 would also be horribly maimed. There is no way that 682 could "kill" 073 in any way that would be permanent for 682, and we don't want him adapting to have 073's abilities. Note: Use of 073 to temporarily kill 682 in the event of a containment breach pending O5 approval.
