“He appears in the form of a soldier, riding a great horse. His face is like that of a lion, very red, and having flaming eyes; he speaketh with a big voice.” — Codex Goetia

Manifestation and Abilities

Alloces is an entity deeply rooted in the transmission of forbidden academic and cosmic knowledge. Unlike entities driven by pure destruction, Alloces operates under the guise of an instructor. Its primary manifestations include:

• Stellar Mapping: Possession of total awareness regarding astronomical bodies and their movements.
• Liberal Sciences: The ability to impart advanced knowledge in logic, rhetoric, and physics to those capable of sustaining the mental load.
• Familiar Provisioning: Alloces is known to grant “good familiars”—entities that exist as psychological projections or autonomous ethereal constructs used to aid the practitioner.

Behavioral Logic and Containment

Per the repository’s strict operational mandates for Ars Goetia entities, the following protocols must be maintained when interacting with or tracking Alloces:

1. Law of Correspondence: All research must adhere to the foundational physical and metaphysical axioms established within the Ars Goetia source text. Deviations in ritual procedure may lead to catastrophic signal noise.
2. Exclusion Zone: A hard-line perimeter of 50 meters must be maintained during any attempted manifestation or communication session. The Duke’s “big voice” has been observed to cause localized auditory hemorrhage in standard recording equipment.
3. Data Integrity: Under no circumstances should the “liberal sciences” taught by this entity be integrated into civilian networks. The information provided is often riddled with memetic hazards designed to influence the observer’s perception of the night sky.

Modern Anomaly Adaptation

Research Note: There is currently no formal record of a modern containment breach involving this entity within a conventional SCP foundation framework. However, anomalies involving sudden, unexplained advancements in orbital mechanics and astronomical software across research facilities have been flagged for further review.

Archivist Comment: If you encounter signs of this entity in a digital environment—specifically involving unauthorized satellite telemetry—sever all network connections immediately. Alloces does not “break” into systems; it invites itself through the logic gates.
