Gwenhwyfar is known commonly as a somewhat outgoing individual. He often struggles to face the issues and problems surrounding him, covering them up through several different coping mechanisms, most notable being York's fascination with fantasy and sci-fi entertainment. Gwenhwyfar also appears to have a keen interest in politics, although he typically keeps this fascination to himself. Gwenhwyfar appears to also be a somewhat social individual, however he keeps his personal life and interests closed off, instead choosing to take particular interest in the hobbies and interests of others. He also appears to be very socially aware of people's issues and problems, often attempting to cheer up fellow members of Site Personnel.

Fiction Novels.


Personal History


Early Life

Gwenhwyfar Arzhur Valentino-York was born on December 6th, 1992, in New York City to a lower-class family in Tremont, the Bronx. From a young age, Gwenhwyfar was fascinated by the Police Officers and Firefighters that often patrolled around his high-density apartment building. His fascination most likely stemmed from the job of his father, who was a police officer in the 48th precinct of New York City.

Gwenhwyfar's mother and father never married, and split following his birth. His mother, whom he never met, was Caucasian-American, while his father (whom he lived with for his entire life) is an African-American. Around his fifth birthday, his father married his stepmother (who Gwenhwyfar gets the Valentino part of his last name from, through adoption.) Val never went to any form of public education, and instead was tutored by his stepmother for his entire educational "career". Due to the mixed race household he lived in, Gwen grew up speaking both Spanish and English.

At age 15, Gwen's father was shot and nearly killed during an attempted arrest, having been shot twice in the back. This caused his father, who was the sole income of the family of three, to retire from the police force and begin receiving money through a pension and unemployment, which was enough to barely keep them above water financially. After completing his General Education Development tests at age 18, Gwen began working in retail for several different places until he turned 21, in which he joined the New York City Police Department.

The New York City Police Department, and U.S. Border Patrol

After graduation from the New York City Police Academy (in May of 2013), Gwen became an officer of the 48th Precinct specialising in drug-related offenses and emergency service response. After three years in service to the NYPD (in 2016), and several brushes with incredibly dangerous situations, Gwen retired due to feeling uncontent with the job he was doing for the people of the Bronx. Following this period, Gwen applied online to join the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, and moved to New Mexico to complete 13 weeks of basic academy. After his graduation from the academy, Gwen moved back to Arizona to work as a Border Patrol Agent on the United States-Mexican Southwest Border Region.

End of CBP Agency Work and Tenure at Area-14

Valentino-York spent quite a while permanently assigned to the United States-Mexican Border, where he lived (officially) out of a mobile home despite the ability to buy a low-priced residence in Arizona. After two years in service to the Customs and Border Protection Agency, Gwen was approached by an agent of the Department of External Affairs, who was designated to select individuals with exemplary service in the USCBP.

Gwen, who was considering dropping out of the Customs and Border Protection Agency, accepted the offer and signed on as a member of the Security Department for the Armed Biological Containment facility, Area-14, in 2018. In his nearly two years at Area-14, Gwen saw little in the ways of hard work, often being cross-pooled to assist members of the Mobile Task Forces onsite as a quartermaster. Since his induction into the SCP Foundation, Gwenhwyfar has asked for over 80% of his salary under the SCP Foundation (approximating at about 62,337 USD per year) to be donated to housing development and children charities in his hometown of The Bronx.

On November 12th, 2020, Gwen was transferred to Armed Humanoid Containment, Research, and Storage Area-17.
