Excerpt from the handwritten diary of Montgomery Crompton. "Life As A God", written in the nineteenth century.
A small diary, bound in human skin, on a cude wooden frame and written in a measured hand. Described the cult's use of a weapon - a short single spiked club.
This has something to do with the "Cult of the Black Pharaoh".
Its angles were magnificent.,and most strange; by tbeir hideous beauty I was enraptured and enthralled, and I Thought myself of the daylight fools who adjudged the housing of this room as mistaken.
I laughed for the glory they missed. When the six lights lit and the great words said, then he came, in all the grace and splendour of the nigher planes, and I longed to sever my viens so that my life might flow into his being, and make part of me a GOD!
More Excerpt from the handwritten diary of Montgomery Crompton.
A small diary, bound in human skin, on a cude wooden frame and written in a measured hand. Described the cult's use of a weapon - a short single spiked club.
This has something to do with the "Cult of the Black Pharaoh".
The man standing before me was of swarthy complexion, but with a haughty bearing befitting an Emperor. He reached out his hand to touch my cheek, my wound shrieking in agony until he brushed it, washing away my pains. He spoke to me, in low tones, with a voice like a mother to an infant babe. He spoke to me of his grand design which would unseat the rule of Man for the rule of the true Gods, and how I might serve him. I knew in my truest heart that this was the purpose I had sought, that in His service, I would be made whole and pure and that those who had wronged me so greatly would be brought low. I wept in Joy and promised I would serve him gladly.
The beggar was held fast by my brothers and I, eyes tearing with joy, struck him mightily with the sacred club again and again until he was rendered insensate by the pain and his limbs were useless. Filled with wordless praise for Him who dwells in shadow before light comes, I turned it in my hands then pierced the wretch’s heart with the cunning bronze spike. His scream of agony washed over me and I was reborn as a full Brother and servant of the Pharaoh of Shadows.

Last note written by Jackson Alias as he traveled from London to New York City.
The scrappiness of the writing shows us the state of Jackson Elias when he wrote it..
For a man that didn't believe in Magic, or other such stuff, he has now seen the darkness. Poor fellow, we could have saved him if he had just contacted us earlier.

Main Points Of Prof. Cowles NYU Lecture By: Wesley Freundlich-Fock
This information was optained by Wesley and Trixie when they interviewed Prof. Anthony Cowles.
It covers his two hour lecture, with slides, on "The Cult of Darkness in Polynesia & the Southwest Pacific".
ONE: A bat cult once existed among the Aboriginals of Australia. It was known across continent, and the god of the cult was always known as the Father of All Bats. Adherents believed that by making human sacrifices to their god they themselves would become worthy enough that the Father of All Bats would appear to them.
Once he was enticed to appear, he would conquer all men. Sacrifices were run through a gauntlet of worshipers who struck the victims with clubs embedded with the sharp teeth of bats. The teeth were coated with a substance derived from rabid bats. The poison was quick-acting, but victims apparently went mad before they died. Leaders of the cult reputedly could take the forms of batwinged snakes, enabling them to steal sacrifices from across the land.
Cowles believes that this cult became dormant or extinct hundreds of years ago. Its former existence is the reason that he became interested in Jackson Elias' books about present-day cults.
TWO: An Aboriginal song cycle mentions a place where enormous beings gathered, somewhere in the west of Australia. The songs say that these gods, who were not at all like men, built great sleeping walls and dug great caves. But living winds blew down the gods and overthrew them, destroying their camp. When this happened, the way was open for the Father of All Bats, who came into the land, and grew strong.
THREE: Cowles shows the investigators a set of four over-exposed glass slides. Each shows a few sweating men standing beside enormous blocks of stone, pitted and eroded but clearly dressed and formed for architectural purposes. Dim carvings seem to decorate some. Billows of sand are everywhere. Though he did not bring the book with him, Cowles says that the discoverer, one Arthur MacWhirr of Port Hedland, kept a diary in which he records several attacks on the party by Aboriginals. MacWhirr reportedly records deaths to victims from hundreds of small punctures, reminiscent of the earlier bat-cult.
FOUR: Cowles tells finally of a tale he collected from near the Arafura Sea in northern Australia. In it Sand Bat, or Father of All Bats, has a battle of wits with Rainbow Snake, the Aboriginal deification of water and the patron of life. Rainbow Snake succeeds in tricking and trapping Sand Bat and his clan into the depths of a watery place from which Sand Bat can only complain, and is unable to return to trouble the people.

There are many documents that Wesley and Gaidar had to work through to collect valuable information.
First Meeting January 11th, 1918:
Reference: Erica Carlyle:
Closest Relative: Erica Carlyle:
At his sister’s insistence. Roger Vane Worthington Carlyle visited me this, morning. He deprecates the importance of his state of mind, but concedes that he had some trouble sleeping due to a recurring dream in which he hears a distant voice calling his name. (Interestingly the voice uses Mr. Carlyle's second given name, Vane, by which Mr. Carlyle admits he always thinks of himself.)
Carlyle moves towards the voice, and has to struggle through a web-like mist in which the caller is understood to stand.
The caller is a man, tall, gaunt, dark. An inverted ankh blazes in his forehead. Following the Egyptian theme (C. has no conscious interest in things Egyptian, he says), the man extended his hands to C., his palms held upward. Pictured on his left palm C discovers his own face; on the right palm, C. sees an unusual, asymmetric pyramid.
The caller then brings his hands together, and C. feels himself float off the ground into space.
He halts before an assemblage of monstrous figures, figures of humans with animal limbs, with fangs and talons, or of no particular shape at all. All of them circle a pulsating ball of yellow energy, which C. recognises as another aspect of the calling man. The ball draws him in; he becomes part of it, and see through eyes not his own. A great triangle appears in the void, asymmetric in the same fashion as the vision of the pyramid. C. then hears the caller say “And become with me a god.” As millions of odd shapes and forms rush into the triangle, C. wakes.
C. does not consider this dream a nightmare, although it upsets his sleep. He says that he revels in it and that it is a genuine calling, although my strong impression is that he actually is undecided about it. An inability to choose seems to characterise much of his life.
September 18th, 1918:
He calls her M’Weru, Anastasia, and my Priestess. He is obsessive about her, as well he might be. Exterior devotion is certainly one way to ease the tension of megalomaniacal contradictions. She is certainly a rival to my authority.
December 3rd, 1918:
If I do not go C. threatens exposure. If I do go, all pretence of analysis surely will be lost. What will be my role?
