Despite her escape, he eventually recaptured her on Easter Island, where he gave her as a mate to Cthulhu. Nye escaped the bombing of Easter Island and the destruction of Cthulhu, then arranged for Kay's son Mark Dixon to be raised as the foster son of Judson Moybridge. Nye led a secret group of terrorist assassins called the Black Brotherhood. He hired Moybridge to write a book denying the existence of the Black Brotherhood. When Mark Dixon grew up, Nye used the Shining Trapezohedron to transform Dixon into Cthulhu. [RB Strange]
