Bio: Zeren Eternus knew about the foundation from a young age. As the children of the Eternus Corporation's founders (even then, the Corporation was a front to the Foundation) his curiosity made things extremely hard for his parents (both SCP Researchers in charge of the Eternus Corporation). He became a security risk as a teenager when he was able to hack his parents computer and learned about the foundation. Some of the foundation wanted to use memory erasing drugs on him, others just to eliminate him. His parents however saw this as an opportunity. They convinced one of the 05's to let them train him from a young age. To attempt to lead him into the foundation. Zeren agreed to keep the foundation a secret, and clearly was interested in joining. At the age of 25, Zeren was well into school (Doing some research for the foundation at the company) when his parents were both killed in an experiment and through their will control of the Eternus Corporation was given to him. At first, the Foundation considered him a figurehead CEO, but as he finished school they began to respect his knowledge - not only in his learned field, but overcoming every obstacle they placed before him. He's been on many capture missions. The mortality rates of his missions can be unfortunately high, but his success rate is also unusually high causing his superiors to overlook the first fact and even praise him. While he still acts as the Eternus Corporation leader (Behind the scenes, as well as in the publics view) he is often called to separate Foundations sites as a consultant.
While Zeren Eternus is respected as a genius by the Foundation, he is also considered sadistic. People hate working under him, especially in the field where they can easily die. He tends to use people under his command as pawns, caring more for the outcome than the person. With him at the helm of the Eternus Corporation, the Corporation as it's own entity has been steadily gaining power. While many consider this a good thing, the few of those who have survived in the field through Zeren's dangerous commands and seen his calculating and sadistic mind believe that he is actually playing the foundation. They say that, angry over his parents death, Zeren is milking the foundation for everything it can give him. Taking the wealth and power until he can betray them all. Those who say this are considered 'over cautious' and the naysayers all agree that even if the Eternus Corporation was to turn against the Foundation, they would never succeed. They'd be destroyed and the public would never even know. Zeren does have one thing going for him though - He's never lost a game of chess.
Interview Log - 74

[Begin log]
Dr. [REDACTED]: Please identify yourself.
Eternus: *chuckles* You know who I am.
Dr. [REDACTED]: Humor me, for the record. Let's conduct this interview correctly.
Eternus: *Sighs deeply* I am Zeren Eternus.
Dr. [REDACTED]: You went to the border-.
Eternus: With five complete morons, looking for some mythical monster. 'El Chupacabra' I believe it was called.
Dr. [REDACTED]: Don't you respect the dead Mr. Eternus?
Eternus: Not them.
Dr. [REDACTED]: Why not? What happened down there.
Eternus: Not the Chupacabra, that's for sure. And not my job. It was a god forsaken man killing people as they crossed the border. Go figure.
Dr. [REDACTED]: And he killed the others?
Eternus: Hell no. The others killed the others. The followed him into the desert. Do you know how dangerous it is down there? I swear, into the desert to chase after a man. I guess they were feeling a little self righteous, the fools. He killed two of them before I put a bullet in his head. Another of my men got stung by a scorpion on the way back, and instead of leaving his half dead *** there like we should've, the last two morons insisted we carry him back. The heat and the lack of water did them in. That leaves me.
Dr. [REDACTED]: And you survived because?
Eternus: Careful rationing of my water, and not stopping when the other two idiots collapsed.
Dr. [REDACTED]: How cold.
Eternus: I'm only leading with example.
Dr. [REDACTED]: ...What?
Eternus: *Smiles wickedly* It's like they say. If a King does not lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow...
Following the interview, Zeren Eternus was proven correct, the bodies were found and Eternus was allowed to continue his work. Funny enough, the gun that the killer was used was the same kind as Eternus'...
