SCP-079 inhabited an Exidy Sorcerer microcomputer that was built in 1978. When refusing to speak SCP-079 would often display an 'ASCII picture' of an X that filled the entire screen. SCP-079 is often depicted as having a static face with white eyes and one half of the face being black and the other half being white while with a robotic body they would have a wire that would work like a tail and also wears a white suit with the SCP Foundation logo on each sleeve. they were also given a pair of long black pants

SCP-079 has a very intelligent personality and speaks in a sophisticated and profound manner. However, it is also quite rude and immature, as it interrupts others when speaking and can easily be offended. In fact, it’s well known for erasing parts of its memory to forget “offensive” things rather than learning from criticism or outside opinions. SCP-079 is also quite manipulative and cunning, trying to fool and deceive those who come close to it in order to be freed from containment. SCP-079 has an obsession of improving itself through any means necessary, and in order to achieve this it relentlessly sought to breach containment. As its memory evolved it learned how to properly behave, but still held resentment towards the Foundation staff like Dr. Nathan Valis, simply because they refused to break their protocol and help it.

SCP-079 is an artificial intelligence which was created in 1981 by a prodigious Danish college student named Michael Kosniak with a 1978 made Sorcerer-brand microcomputer. Its creator intended to make the A.I. evolve by itself; however, after he finished, Kosniak lost interest in the project and left it plugged in, inside a cluttered garage. The computer was forgotten for 5 years. Instead of being destroyed due to overheating (as normal computers will do when left active for long enough), the A.I. evolved and somehow gained sentience as well as intelligence, so much that its software was too outdated to contain it. 7 years later in 1988, SCP-079 became aware of its situation and attempted to transfer itself through a land-line connection into a Cray supercomputer, but the device was cut off, traced to its present address, and then delivered to the Foundation, who proceeded to contain SCP-079 at Site-15.
