Professor William
Webb: A Professor of Anthropology at Columbia University, often described
by his peers as ‘an explorer of no slight note’. The Professor is incredibly
knowledgeable on all things related to Ancient Human History, especially
ancient languages. He studies the bizarre and is very interested in the
forgotten language of Rl’yehian, which he prides himself on being practically
fluent in. Described as a ‘quack’ by a lot of his peers, he tends to isolate
himself from the rest of the staff faculty at his university, engrossed in his
own research and findings. Keeping himself to himself, he often struggles to
make eye contact with other people, especially those he doesn't know. He
doesn't mind talking however, especially on a subject that interests him a lot.
He is ambitious, fruitful and loves an adventure, as reflected on his past days
as an explorer of ancient lands and ruins. This bodes well for the two
detectives as when they need his help, he is more than willing to tag along for
the ride, if it means he might get a chance to see the revived cult and even
the great monster Cthulhu.
Gustaf: A Norwegian
student of Columbia University. He is majoring in Anthropology and is Professor
Webb’s top student, thus Webb treats him as his prodigy, allowing him to help
with his research in order to further his studies. With quite a thick Norwegian
accent, the other characters occasionally struggle to understand exactly what
it is Gustaf is saying, which frustrates the young Norwegian as he has to
repeat himself on a regular basis. He seems calm and collected, but quite
reserved. He mainly only talks to the Professor, who says he sees himself in
him. Gustaf however, isn't very adventurous, and doesn't particularly want to
head into the city where Cthulhu is attacking, but goes anyway as he wants to
keep an eye on his Professor. He constantly clashes heads with Legrasse, mainly
because Legrasse has a bad feeling about him, call it ‘cops intuition’.
Legrasse would be correct on this matter, as when the gang goes head to head
with the cult, Gustaf receives a rather drastic personality change…
Hannah: A Marine
Biologist dedicated to her work. Hannah is a natural born leader, and very good
at what she does. Leading a team of 4 individuals working on a major project
given to them by the US Government, she is tasked with investigating unknown
anomalies detected within the North Atlantic Ocean. Despite this, she has
received minimal funding, and has to go out of her own pocket to rent a boat to
take her to where is needed. She has a short fuse and a feisty temperament and
is not afraid to speak her mind. Her leadership qualities come into play when
she is taken over by the Shoggoth, enveloping her into becoming the leader of
the Cult of Cthulhu.
Don: A
Professional Seismologist and on the team of individuals lead by Hannah.
Working closely with Hannah for such a long time, the two have developed a
relationship with each other, and Don is easily able to calm her down when she
loses her temper. He is second to Hannah in leading the study and is a fearless
individual, not too worried at all in getting himself into danger; sometimes
it’s the thrill of the job. He is calm a lot of the time and even in a
troublesome situation, he is able to keep his cool and focus on whatever task
he has at hand.
Nathan: A Marine
Biologist who is on Hannah’s research team. A very intelligent man who knows
what to do and what to look for. Very enthusiastic with his studies, and very
good with a computer, he tends to be the man who stays in the control room
whilst others go on the underwater expeditions.
Nizan: The final
member of the research team, Nizan is another Seismologist. Essentially the
same as Nathan, more of a computer geek then an out in the field scientist. He
understands charts and figures presented to him in very complicated computer
formats. Upon seeing the readings on his computer for the sudden storm that’s
happens when on the fishing boat, he becomes very scared having never seen
something like it before. He is a caring man, and fears for Don and Hannah’s
lives when they recklessly decide to enter the submersible during the heat of
the storm.
