Randolph Carter

Randolph Carter skin description

Randolph Carter is one of the most frequently appearing characters in the Cthulhu Mythos. The character is semi-autobiographical, sharing several of Lovecraft's biographical aspects as well as his antiquarian tastes and mild nature. Like Lovecraft, he is an under-appreciated horror writer and published the story "The Attic Window" in the January 1922 issue of the fictional magazine Whispers. He first appearance was in the short story "The Statement of Randolph Carter," in which he and his friend, Harley Warren, attempt to locate the door between the human world and a hell dimension. Though Carter survives, Warren was killed by an unseen evil. *I have very little knowledge about Lovecraft and his work, since there's rarely any mention of the human characters. However I did find this character who seems to be based on Lovecraft himself, making him arguably the most interesting character in his stories.
