The Arkham Examiner Presents

Excerpt from the Arkham Examiner, Special Investigator’s File (1925)

Nathaniel Crowe was once a scholar of ancient religions and forgotten tongues at Miskatonic University. Brilliant, if eccentric, he vanished from academia following an ill-fated expedition to a buried site in Dunwich—an incident that left three dead, a fourth irreparably mad, and Crowe hospitalized for weeks, speaking in a language no one could identify.

Since his recovery, he has worked independently as a paranormal investigator, quietly taking on cases others fear to speak of. His clients are often anonymous. His findings rarely shared. And though the cases vary—vanished children in Innsmouth, spectral lights over Kingsport, buried sigils unearthed near Arkham—they all leave a mark.

Crowe is methodical, skeptical, and scarred by what he’s seen. There are rumors he keeps a journal written in cipher, that he dreams in symbols, and that something beneath the earth is whispering his name.

He does not seek danger. But danger, it seems, knows where to find him.
