First, the Cast:

Dr. Warren Bedford: Aging but experienced retired Professor of History and European Languages at University College London. Pursues his goals with a frightening intensity. Possesses the most prior Cthulhu Mythos experience.

Mr Dixon Hill: Hard bitten, ex-cop, private detective originally hailing from Chicago. Fled to London to avoid the mob. Old acquaintance of Dr. Bedford's.

Rev. James Thatcher: Fervently pious Anglican minister, published in the burgeoning field of psychotherapy. Experienced real, supernatural, horror in his youth, and now takes the fight to evil with a blessed silver maul.

Ms Dorothea Dietrich: Femme Fatale double agent spy, playing both Germany and England for her own profit. Uses wealthy dilettante lifestyle as a cover.

Mr Herbie Hughes: Hack Film Director/Producer/Actor, running down on his luck, with an alcohol and gambling problem. His glory days behind him, he has left America to avoid his angry debtors

Miss Lulu Jenkins: Mr Hill's secretary. Young and beautiful, she aspires to become a famous dancer. Cheerful, innocent, and bubbly, she is probably going to be the first to go insane
