This first post will contain a hyperlinked index, alphabetical order.
Posts after this will contain one NPC per post, some of these NPCs may eventually end up as extra or replacement PCs (Barrington and Jones for example)

Sir Aubrey Penhew – Co-Leader of the ill fated Carlyle Expedition to Africa of 1919. Believed to have been murdered in Kenya. Founder of the London based Penhew Foundation. Owned several stately homes, including a large house in London.

Edward Gavigan – Current director of the Penhew Foundation, according to the Penhew Foundation business card found at the scene of Jackson’s murder.

Inspector James Barrington – Scotland Yard detective leading the investigation into the so called Egyptian Murders, mentioned in Jackson Elias’ scrawled London Notes.



Now a player character played by Syrinx, though not yet allied to the Investigators.

Sergeant Trevor Jones - Scotland Yard detective on the Egyptian Murders case, partner of Inspector Barrington.



Now a player character played by Mr Handy, though not yet allied to the Investigators.

Mickey Mahoney - Editor (and writer/journalist) of "The Scoop," a small, scandal seeking London Tabloid. A friend/associate of Jackson Elias according to Jonah Kensington.

Mickey is a short, stocky, red haired, cigar chomping Irishman in his early Forties. He wears a suit that is well made, but also well worn.

Miles Shipley - Painter of terrible surrealist images of the past, present and future of both this world and other. His paintings included one depicting Andrei, Nethaniel and Maksim at the scene of Alison Taylor's murder in the British Museum.

Mrs Shipley - "Mother" of Miles Shipley the painter. Elizabeth noticed that Mrs Shipley's shadow was not that of a human!

Alison Taylor - Graduate Assistant of Gwen at the British Museum. Brutally murdered by the so called "Egyptian Murderers".

Professor Wilson - Gwen's boss at the British Museum Library. Allowed the investigators to visit the "Black Library" a vault containing forbidden lore.

I had a photo of Wilson posted in the IC thread, but it's lost with all the other attachments and I can't remember who I used to represent this NPC!

Professor William Fiennes - Professor from Oxford who visited the British Museum in 1921 to study their photostatic copy of The Pnakotic Manuscripts, a supposedly cursed book.

Fiennes stole some pages from the manuscripts and then threw himself to his death from Tower Bridge.

Andrei found a coded message in the remains of the Pnakotic Manuscripts that implied that Fiennes may have sent his notes and the missing pages to "P.R."

P.R. - Someone who Professor Fiennes in London may have sent his translated notes of the Pnakotic Manuscript to, before he killed himself.

Tewfik al-Sayed - Egyptian spice shop owner. Also a powerful sorcerer, and a possible leader of the "Egyptian Murderers".

Yalesha - Dancer at the Blue Pyramid Club. She spoke to Maksim and Timour giving them this message:

“You leave, these are bad men. They kill you both.”
“I leave here at eleven o'clock, meet me in the alley behind the club, I tell you everything.”

Abdul Azeem al-Sayed - One of the "Egyptian Murderers" who attacked Gwen and Alison at the British Museum. Captured by Andrei, Maksim and Nethaniel he died that night in a police cell at Bow Street Police Station. The police think he took his own life, but the circumstances of his death are startlingly similar to the "Thing in the Fog" that attacked the investigators outside the British Museum.
