Augustus Larkin
A pawn of Nyarlathotep
Biography
The eldest son of a relatively wealthy colonial family in Kenya, he refused to follow in his father’s footsteps, building railways across Africa, and instead became a wastrel, drunk, and womanizer. His path through the less reputable parts of Nairobi society brought him to the attention of a beautiful and manipulative young woman named M’Weru. The two embarked on what Larkin thought would be a brief fling. Instead, Larkin found himself drawn into a hideous cult known as the Bloody Tongue (Cult in Residence, page 390, Kenya), devoted to the worship of an ancient evil god (also known as Nyarlathotep). Larkin tried to flee, but M’Weru and her associates had other plans for him.
