O5-8: "The Newbie", or "The Lesser".
Male. European descent. American origin. Mid-30s. No unusual appearance.
A former Foundation Site Director; a recent elevation to the O5 Council (between 6 and 9 years as of 2014).
One of his first actions as an O5 Council member was to approve of Dr. Kondraki's plan to neutralize the former SCP-083. This plan resulted in the breaching of multiple SCP objects, including Kondraki deliberately breaching SCP-682, and in the near destruction of Site-19. This incident appears to have lead to the O5-ordered assassination of Kondraki by Dr. Gears.
Though he was not removed from the O5 Council over this, O5-8 never recovered, and is now much more cautious. Still shaken from the fallout of the incident, he continues to rely on support staff to accomplish all of his duties — including the hiring and replacing of support staff.
Thus far, O5-8 has avoided further serious incidents, but rumor has it that the situation with his current crop of staff is unstable and likely to cause further "mistakes".
Possibly assassinated. Has not appeared in public for some time.
"The Swallowed Tail" source claims that the title of "The Lesser" refers to the American industrialist Baron Leeman Hoadley, much diminished in influence following the death of his brother and the loss of his vast fortune.
Recent physical descriptions are hard to come by, since he rarely leaves his personal estate - apparently out of fear of the other Council members. Reportedly obsessed with self-modification through the use of anomalous items, current capabilities unknown.
O5-8: "Magnolia".
Female. European descent. Appears to be mid-50s; likely older. Deliberately not beautiful in appearance.
O5-8 is known for being brutal and harsh, though never arbitrarily; known for making hard decisions. Known to have played a deciding vote in the decision to nuke several significant Foundation Sites during a particularly deadly breach.
Her physical appearance is deliberate. Overseers certainly can alter their appearance if they wish. This seems to be due to an emotional state plagued by guilt. Considered vulnerable to assassination attempts due to rumors that she would welcome them.
Wears a ring of human sinew. Occult significance obvious.
Possibly assassinated. Has not appeared in public for some time.
O5-8: "Dogwood".
Male. European descent. American origin. Mid-30s. No unusual appearance.
O5-8 is one of several O5 members to focus on Foundation security. Notable
