Edgar Henquist Gordon

[RB Demon]: An author of fantasy horror stories that were based on his dreams. His works included Gargoyle, Night-Gaunt, The Principle of Evil, The Soul of Chaos.

He was a tall, thin, angular man pale face and deep-set eyes. His language was poetic and profound, and his mannerisms slow and dreamlike. He was descended from a Welsh wizard. He claimed to have seen Azozath, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth, and Yuggoth in his dreams, prior to reading of their existence in such books as the Necronomicon, Mysteries of the Worm, and the Book of Eibon. Toward the end of his life, his library included occult works such as Cultes des Ghoules and the Daemonolorum.

An intelligence called the Dark One instructed Gordon to write his books, and distribute them to "those who know." Someday, Gordon expected to band together with them and unfold secrets of the cosmos. The Dark One also promised to become incarnate in Gordon, and eventually did so, so that Gordon's body became furry and hog-faced. The Dark Demon narrator shot him then, and later the authorities found only an empty suit of clothes.
