Background / Personality: Laurence Hickman is a former Oxford professor who has gone into semi-retirement. He now spends his time collecting and researching occult tomes. He uses his contacts in the Club Nyctopia to trade and buy these books. He also likes to investigate paranormal phenomena with a view to debunking them. He is not a sceptic as such: he just wants unequivocal proof. Only when there is no other explanation will he be happy.

Background / Personality:
Samantha has a sharp no nonsense mind. She believes the occult, in which her husband has an interest, is extremely dangerous!

Samantha's parents were both devout Catholics and as such she had a strict Catholic upbringing. As she grew up, Samantha left behind her religious practices and replaced them with ambition and a drive to succeed. She was happy to embrace new ideas and not afraid to take risks when necessary. Her career was spiralling upwards to the top… Quite suddenly she has found faith again. The only path to salvation is through God.

Background / Personality:
Paul is a former member of the British Army who left on medical grounds after receiving a spinal injury during a routine exercise.

Found employment with Prof. Laurence Hickman as a butler-cum-bodyguard. Prof. Hickman leads an interesting, if weird, life. Paul has seen some strange things during his eighteen months with the professor, none of which he is willing, or able, to explain. The professor is the member of an exclusive circle that dabbles with the occult and magick (the 'K' is important, can't remember why!). The Prof. meets with many different people – it is impossible to say who are members of this circle and who are not.

Paul has let himself go. He exercises occasionally, but smokes and drinks too much and lives off convenience foods and fryups.

Personality / Background: Pet had a solitary childhood. She had imaginary friends who were fairies, elves and pixies. As she got older she was diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (A.D.D.) and was put into care. Her parents emigrated soon afterwards to parts unknown. After a period of psychotherapy (she was the patient of the 'nice Dr. Brussels') she was released into the real world. Pet has survived by shoplifting and amusing anyone whom will listen with stories about the fairies, elves and goblins. She has managed to get a book published on the subject of the "Little People" and writes for a Fortean Times style publication called Weird World.

She hates being ignored and will go to great lengths to be the centre of attention, throwing tantrums, playing on others sympathies, and what ever else she can think up.
