| ==Background== | | ==Background== |
| | | The Monarch of Pointland appears in Edwin Abbott's 1884 novel "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions." It exists as the sole inhabitant and ruler of Pointland, a dimensionless realm that the Sphere shows to A Square during his metaphysical explorations. The Monarch represents the ultimate extreme of solipsistic existence, being completely unable to conceive of anything beyond itself. |
| SCP-181, formerly Gregory O’Callaghan, is a human male with anomalous probability-altering abilities that was contained by the SCP Foundation. [https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-181#:~:text=G%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%20O%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%E2%96%88%2C%20formerly%20LvD%2D87465%2C%20had%20been%20incarcerated%20for%20repeated%20offenses%20of%20defrauding%20the%20Nevada%20Gaming%20Commission. Originally incarcerated for repeated offenses of defrauding the Nevada Gaming Commission], he was transferred to Foundation custody and discovered to have unusual effects on chance and probability around him. He later became involved with Site-666 and its operations in Las Vegas, where he faced off against supernatural entities and other probability manipulators.

"Behold yon miserable creature. That Point is a Being like ourselves, but confined to the Non-dimensional Gulf. He is himself his own World, his own Universe; of any other than himself he can form no conception; he knows not Length, nor Breadth, nor Height, for he has had no experience of them; he has no cognizance even of the number Two; nor has he a thought of Plurality; for he is himself his One and All, being really Nothing." - The Sphere describing the Monarch of Pointland
