	In Response To: H.P. Lovecraft's Robert Blake (VikingBoyBilly) Aside from the name, that description makes me think more of Richard Grey (aka The Master) from Fallout. : I just read the Haunter in the Dark. : In the story, Robert Blake finds a crystalline Trapezohedron in the : windowless steeple of an abandoned church. The trapezohedron was brought : to earth from Yuggoth (pluto) and looking into it shows him images of : realms beyond the cosmos and into the darkest reaches of Azathoth's lair. : He leaves the trapezohedron in the steeple and at night a Haunter in the Dark : begins lurking in the church. It avoids the light, and won't leave the : church because of the street lamps. The police investigate the church, but : find nothing. At night Blake randomly wakes up in the church from : sleepwalking and hears the Haunter in the Dark creeping in the steeple. : The thing calls for him, but Blake gets awakened from his hypnosis by any : hint of light coming into the church. : One night there's a thunderstorm, killing the power in the city. A black : cloud in the sky flies to the east, and Blake's corpse is found in his : study. He died of an electrical shock, even though the power was out and : the window was closed and unbroken. In his last journal entries he wrote : that the thing is coming for him, he is the thing and the thing is him. : Dark is light and light is dark. The last thing he wrote is that it's a : demon wind - a Titan thing with black wings, and curiously, a three-lobed : burning eye. The hintings at what this is sounds a lot like the alien : possessors from Strife, if any of you have played it. I say it's pretty : spot-on. : It's kinda hard to make out here, but this is the only screenshot I could : find: : So what can be concluded from this? Well, Robert Blake left Earth in his new : body into the outer worlds and hitched a ride on a passing meteor to : possess the denizens of Strife and feed off the planet to sustain his : form, then fled to another world to start a new order feed on for some : hundred or so years until a psionic prince returned from exile to banish : him. In the last weakening years of his alien life, he settled in Tau Ceti : to transfer his consciousness into a human mind in a converted moon, : renaming his host Robert Blake. : As for the three-lobed-eye bit... it kinda reminds me of those buttons on the : pfhor ship pf M1.
