Main Characters and Their Development

  • Francis Wayland Thurston: A professor of linguistics at Brown University who investigates strange events related to the Cthulhu cult. His research leads him to the discovery of the ancient cult and the existence of Cthulhu. Thurston gradually realizes the terrifying truth about the world and its ancient inhabitants.
  • Henry Anthony Wilcox: A young sculptor who creates strange and frightening statuettes under the influence of his dreams about Cthulhu. His visions and artworks become key elements in Thurston's investigation.
  • John Raymond Legrasse: A police inspector from New Orleans who investigates the Cthulhu cult in 1908. He uncovers strange rituals and artifacts associated with the ancient cult, and his testimony aids Thurston in his research.
